Not really a surprise since Facebook is now populated by older people.
And those stats probably include his website the Daily Wire, which has all sorts of dodgy money propping it up (allegedly)Not really a surprise since Facebook is now populated by older people.
Yeah sorry, I tend to open with a dumb one liner and backpeddle it into something resembling a thought later.Agree. After the fact
Definitely. He’s a twat that is best left ignored.Listening to him on Rogan where I guess his bullshit is reduced, when Rogan makes your talking points look like crap, you should really not consider yourself, particularly good.
I get the impression he suffers from small man syndrome and was bullied alot for it as a kid. He just comes across as an entitled prick who has a chip on his shoulder. His arguing with Uni students and high school kids is just simply bullying.

Pretty much. A friend of mine loves him. Pre orders every book listens to every podcast and he was bullied at school im pretty sure. A lot of his fans are like that. Theyre more just angry at society and want a safe space to vent and talk crap.Listening to him on Rogan where I guess his bullshit is reduced, when Rogan makes your talking points look like crap, you should really not consider yourself, particularly good.

Its all really sad. Also, I dont mean to say this in a bad or abusive way at all but I have a suspicion Shapiro is slightly autistic. Its wrong to self diagnose so I accept this isnt right of me but the friend of mine who likes him, I believe also has slight autism. I reckon both were bullied for it at school and the rest is evident.
I am not some far left guy and I gave Shapiro a fair shot. Read parts of his book despite the cringe title and listened to his podcast.Definitely. He’s a twat that is best left ignored.
Pretty dangerous opinion really. How many people said that about trump. Something he says is connecting with people...the question is why? I do not believe for a second everybody who listens to him, or takes on board what he has to say are simply dumb people with worthless opinions.Definitely. He’s a twat that is best left ignored.
Yeah a lot of serious people listen to him too.Pretty dangerous opinion really. How many people said that about trump. Something he says is connecting with people...the question is why? I do not believe for a second everybody who listens to him, or takes on board what he has to say are simply dumb people with worthless opinions.
He says racist, sexist, transphobic and homophobic shit, and his fans eat it up. That's the majority of his appeal, that's why he's connecting with people. Sprinkle in some nationalism, and you've got Shapiro explained.Pretty dangerous opinion really. How many people said that about trump.

Of course they are, the problem is that there are so bloody many of them! @Halftrack covers it.Pretty dangerous opinion really. How many people said that about trump.

That's the whole reason people like Trump are in power and Ben Shapiro is somewhat famous. People underestimate how stupid most of our species is. Someone said to me in response to this; so you're saying half the people are stupid? Half?! It's easily 75%Of course they are, the problem is that there are so bloody many of them! @Halftrack covers it.

Calling them deplorables was quite accurate. A terrible strategy, but true nonetheless.
Shapiro seems like the kind of guy who needs to hear his wife telling him she loves him at least 5 times until he let's her go out with her mates.Pretty much. A friend of mine loves him.

You've finally come round! I always had hope on you bro.I am not some far left guy and I gave Shapiro a fair shot. Read parts of his book despite the cringe title and listened to his podcast.
Its like a parody. Its so bad. Hes extremely good at masking racist ideas as logical.
When was I ever a Shapiro supporter! I'm just not (very) pro bernieYou've finally come round! I always had hope on you bro.
While I don’t disagree that many of his fans are all of the above I set quite a high bar for these things. It all depends on your definition of each but taking the transphobic example I’m guessing Shapiro thinks tran women are not biologically women. I’d say that’s a fair enough opinion to hold and not transphobic.He says racist, sexist, transphobic and homophobic shit, and his fans eat it up. That's the majority of his appeal, that's why he's connecting with people. Sprinkle in some nationalism, and you've got Shapiro explained.
As far as I understand the issue, Shapiro's stance goes against the very core of what trans people are. He uses biology* to impose social standards on those who don't (and can't) fit into traditional gender categories and roles. Bigots of his kind see these people as an abomination and, since they can't get rid of them, want to at least shut them out with accusations of "unnaturalness", and roll back any supportive policies as far as they can.I’m guessing Shapiro thinks tran women are not biologically women. I’d say that’s a fair enough opinion to hold and not transphobic.
I'd say the opposite is true, except for the part that a lot of people don't want to hear about racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, etc. I'm convinced that "conservatives" who see themselves as defending against "wokeness" just rationalize views they'd hold anyway. Their views may indeed radicalize when they feel under pressure, but that's their own doing.I think there’s a big woke backlash at the moment which could further explain why he’s so popular. I think people have reached their limit with regards to having people constantly bang on about how the whole world is racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic etc.

I would lay good money with confidence that 70%+ of Shapiro’s 25.37m are bot accounts.
Concentrating on militancy not looting, this will actually be true in some cases, but mostly nope.Obviously. The same way all the people protesting just rationalize their need to burn and loot things. They'd want this anyway, any excuse is just a pretext. Their views may indeed radicalize when they feel under pressure, but that's their own doing.
I agree with this but shapiro supporters do not. They believe the woke crowd are slowly suppressing American freedom and all that's good. Its a fair number of closet and open racists mixed in with some incels mixed together.Concentrating on militancy not looting, this will actually be true in some cases, but mostly nope.
Edit: Okay, it deserves a better answer. The reasonableness and moral justification of opposition and radicalism obviously differs according to what kind of pressure we're talking about. And how realistic or irrational the motivating fear is. The threat BLM fights against is very real and immediately dangerous, the threat Shapiro-style conservatives feel coming from LGBT acceptance isn't.
Christ what a fecking dweeb.A wet vagina seemingly a foreign concept in the Shapiro household

What when did this happenI saw that he got outed on Twitter for creating an aggressive BAME website himself to share on Twitter.
Wonder who he’s actually working for?
Actually in quickly doing a google search it was a troll apparently and he didn’t! I take it back.What when did this happen
I don't think he's reading this thread mate.Wait... You guys claim Ben Shapiro is a racist/transphobic/homophobic person because he was bullied... while bullying him online?
Unless he’s Shapiro?I don't think he's reading this thread mate.
