For anyone who also thinks Ben Shapiro is a "serious thinker", here is the thesis that "Perhaps Ben Shapiro Shouldn't Be Taken Seriously By Anyone About Anything": [VIDEO] In short: he's routinely wrong, his views never progress in recognition of his many MANY errors, because he feels that his views are correct regardless of what the facts are; all while smugly bleating "Facts Don't Care About Feelings". he's so comically unserious, he had to change the title of his own book after liberals pointed out to him that he miscounted how many arguments he was making in "10 rules for debating leftists": [LINK] most of the others on that list are just as bad but it's noteworthy that this laughable "intellectual dark web" has Ben Shapiro among those playing the victim card as if he is a repressed academic even though he openly and cynically proclaims his unwillingness to engage honestly with the opposition ("So, the only other reason that you should ever have a conversation, or be friends with anyone on the left and, and not even be friends, is if you're in public in front of a large audience and then your goal is to humiliate them as badly as possible") these people aren't "intellectuals" or even remotely serious.

Ben Shapiro was the most popular role model for Alexandre Bissonette, a very clear alt-right white supremacist[1]. Before you dismiss Shapiro's responsibility in stoking these ideals, you should watch this in-depth breakdown of his perspectives and ideals[2]. I know it's a lot to ask to watch an hour long youtube video, but it is thorough to dot all the i's and cross all the t's. Shapiro even stokes anti-semitic rhetoric by distinguishing between "ethnic jews" (The Woody Allens of the world, but more broadly liberal hollywood elite jews) and "cultural/religious jews" (Morally-clear good-minded folk like himself). The video covers it. This is how he reconciles his alt-right allies who are anti-semitic and white nationalist, yet use Shapiro as a shield to protect their heinous opinions. And this is before we get to any of his perspectives on arabs, which another commenter already addressed. [1] [LINK] [2] [VIDEO]
