Come on, Mumbles... this guy is some unknown schlub with 31k views.
So Shapiro is "afraid" to debate anyone who decides to challenge him in order to get publicity for themselves?
Uh huh.
If I challenge Floyd Mayweather to a boxing match and he doesn't accept (or respond), does that mean he's afraid I will beat him?
Honestly, that short, skinny Jew with no broadcast presence has done really well for himself.
He's very good at breaking down issues of the day into summaries everyone can understand, and logically states his point without emotion or hyperbole.
Yeah, these ankle biting YouTube leftist critics can hang on his every word and point out small flaws or inconsistencies, but that can be said for anyone who does a daily show about controversial topics.
As I said before, the one thing which really keeps me from watching much of Shapiro is the constant insertion of spoken ads into his program. That's where he differs greatly from Crowder. Shapiro has far more ads, and just reads boring copy without even trying to make them entertaining. Crowder puts a lot of production value into his ads, and in fact sometimes they're the most entertaining part of the show.
BTW, ever notice that the big trans woman who threatened Shapiro on the Dr. Drew show looks and acts an awful lot like the Gamestop Ma'am from December? I know they're different people, but the similarities are amazing...
Druff, what is “logical” about Shapiro’s objection to gay marriage other than “It’s against my religious beliefs.” As sonatine alluded to with the meme above, that’s an appeal to “feelings”, not facts.
And his objection to even early-term abortion is based on his religious belief even though he speciously spouted in his self-aborted interview on BBC “Because science.” There is no *scientific* argument that can decide the ethically appropriate rights a women should have in that circumstance;anyone properly knowledgable of logic and science knows that the logical determination of “oughts” is beyond the domain of science.
Science may help provide information to help delineate whether a fetus is viable outside of the womb in order respective individual rights to be legally assigned and protected, but the ultimate framework for deciding where the line *should* be drawn on that matter is one based on how much one values the rights of women versus a potentially viable person. Shapiro, however, is either ignorant of this fact or intentially deceptive in order to sound as if he is being “logical”.
In summary, Ben Shapiro is an agenda-driven sophist who knows how to sound like he is making logical arguments, and ingenuously appeals to feelings using fast-talking sometimes specious arguments and misdirection to appear to be kogical.

Ugh. Mumbles, every time you post a Young Turks video, I think, "I know this is going to be really awful, but I'll give it a chance, maybe they're making a reasonable point this time."
Then I spend time watching the clip, and.... nope! Once again it's terrible.
And by terrible I don't mean, "I disagree with it." I mean that the segment sucks, their points suck, the premise sucks, and it's not at all entertaining. Plus Anna Kasparian is very off-putting.
In this case, they ramble on and on about Ben Shapiro's Daily Wire "violating Facebook terms of serivce". What?! That's now newsworthy on The Young Turks? Are they getting that desperate for content, where they're doing 8-minute segments about small ToS violations on other companies' websites?
Laughably, when TYT thought they were really onto something and were going to bust Shapiro, they whined to Facebook, who then told them to GTFO and mind their own business. Basically it went like this:
TYT: OMG OMG OMG!! We caught Ben Shapiro's people making 14 Facebook groups on your service which only exist to promote him! You should totally ban him because that's totally a ToS violation of your service! It's okay, you can thank us later for finding this.
Facebook: Uhh... not really? Tons of companies do this and we haven't even decided yet if this actually violates our policies. We're going to revisit it next month and think about it again, but for right now, everything's fine.
TYT: OMG OMG OMG scandal!!! Now we are going to expose how Facebook is actually conservative-friendly, not liberal-friendly! Huge story!
So lame.
News flash: Facebook is a shitty, exploitative, selfish company which cares about money over everything else. So yes, they are letting ANY company get away with making phony groups to promote themselves, so long as these companies are also spending advertising dollars on the platform. As long as Facebook stuffs dollars into their grimy pockets, they don't really care which political party they're helping. (They are left-biased when it comes to matters which don't affect them financially, however.)
Anyway, this detail about Facebook worshiping the altar of the almighty dollar has been known for years. TYT is turning this into an "OMG Facebook is actually conservative-biased so the right claiming they're victimized by Big Tech is total BS" moment, and once again they are totally misunderstanding what's going on and how Facebook operates.

Never ever seen you smash Facebook quite like that Druff. I am pleased.
Very timely too as your performance review is coming due.
