It's not 2,000. It's about 10. edit: someone said he thinks Shapiro said "two dozen" not 2,000, and listening it to again, that sounds right. It's a little high but it's not that far off.
I like Ben Shapiro and think he's a smart guy usually. I know this sub hates him, so enjoy me shitting on him in this post, I guess. I don't know if he's gotten too busy and can't keep his facts straight sometimes, or has gotten too complacent with his daily show, but once in a while he says clearly dumb, wrong shit where he should clearly know better.
The other day he said Russia needs Crimea to have a "warm water port", which is retarded, since Rostov & Novorossiysk are right next door. And no, while I don't expect Ben to know the details of Russian ports, I do expect him to know the basic geography of the Black Sea and the fact that Russia has a number of other coastal cities/ports on it. Anyway, this kind of thing happens more often than it should, and he ought to have better or more staffers giving him research and fact checking.
Graphic I've seen him link before where he mocked libs for being wildly wrong and thinking that thousands of unarmed blacks were mowed down by the cops every year when the true answer is about 10... and then he did the very thing he mocked the libs for himself today.
"It's better to have the frog ferry the scorpion than the spider"
"It's better to have 0% than 95%."
Percentages don't matter when the percent still ends in the death of the frog. DW are still globalist whores who will destroy Americana given the option. This is something you Eurocucks will never understand as you have no concept of the ability to live and die free.
So everyone has to agree with you 100%, or he's bad? Sounds like woke ideology.
Sorry, but DW pushing the "free trade" myth that was the talking point of neocons since their inception is a deal breaker for me, call me a prude, but free trade requires both countries having shared values and laws.
When I was a child, and I got a present that wasn't exactly what I wanted, I would get mad/upset. Why?
Because this one my ONE THING I was entitled to get, so it had to be PERFECT and EXACTLY what I wanted. Anything less was an insult to me, disrespect, and what's worse, is that by accepting this gift, I was conceding that I would NEVER get the one thing I wanted. I would get this other thing instead, and have to fuck off for a whole year.
When I see people like the guy you are arguing with, this attitude I had as a small, immature child is the only thing I can liken their attitude to. They want their One True Right Wing Messiah. Anyone who fails their purity test is not just a Pretender, but sucks up the finite oxygen on the Right such that Ben Shapiro's existence, to their mind, makes it less likely that their One True Right Wing Messiah can emerge. Perhaps their One True Right Wing Messiah is an obscure youtuber who never caught on because people watched Ben Shapiro instead?
That's my understanding of how these people think. Of course it's irrational and totally immature and crazy to think that way. Of course its based on ridiculous and absurd assumptions about how the world works that aren't remotely true, and are typically only believed by small children. Specifically, the idea that every other "impure" right winger represents a threat to their Messiah who magically agrees with them on 100% of things.
So it's pointless to argue with them. They're not rational, mature, developed minds.
It's magical thinking. Are you familiar with the original KotakuInAction? It had more than 100,000 subscribers. There were some people who actually wanted to get banned by the admins. Because they are retarded, and because they thought a better alternatively would magically arise.
They just don't understand how the world works. Which may be why we always lose.
Taking a stand and being a martyr is appropriate sometimes, but not all the time. You have to play within the rules until you gain advantage by defying them, like the Left famously celebrates with Rosa Parks, MLK, and so on. The Left these days is quite proud to go get arrested for trespassing & illegal protests, and makes photo ops of it, and there is 0 risk involved for them because unlike the old days, they don't spend any time in jail and never get prosecuted.
