Bacon is fluffy
Wut'n th'name of davy jonez lockr is uh sall-add?
The dude is interesting to listen to because he's a fast talker and carries a sense of deliberateness and confidence whenever he addresses someone else. As someone who finds social justice warriors to be a plague on the world, his talks are refreshing. It's lovely to find someone with a shred of integrity address issues of excessive political correctness, affirmative action, and one who advocates social decency without being an extremist toward either end.
He's not saying the N-word(I already know that will be taken down if I actually write it out) as a form of protest against the left who insists that you can't say offensive things because it offends people. But he also advocates for speech to be free because your feelings don't matter when it comes to big boy topics such as transgenderism, the state of black people in america, campus rape, and whether or not donald trump is a good or bad guy. If you make a positive claim about racism and rape, then he doesn't support you without facts. Unlike schools where the accused are guilty until proven innocent.
Let that sink in. On university campuses, or at least mine, they pushed incorrect figures on rape* and say that you should just support whoever said they were raped. Even if they didn't go to the police and didn't say anything for months or even years. Ben's stance is if you were attacked he'd stand by you,but you must show evidence first.
Which leads me to what sort of is off putting about him. Despite his meritocracy talks being some of the finest talks I've ever had the pleasure of listening to, he's somewhat of an extreme conservative. He's pro life, anti government to the point where he still expects them to do stuff,but not expect funding. And when it comes to health care, he's a bourgeoisie who would advocate the free market in health care even if it means some people not being coverable by normal means.
This is because his wife's a doctor, so he's only speaking in his own self interest. I too can sympathize with him not wanting her to be held up at gun point to give care to people who can't pay. But at the same time it's an argument that clearly is made in his self interest and he has never admitted that. So while he's trashing socialist left leaning people in his audience, what no one ever really picks up on is his genuine bias toward his own self interest.
But I only object to him because I'm only thinking in my own self interest. If state funding for my own health care coverage was pulled tomorrow, I'd die if I got sick or hurt without mercy. It's just not possible or rather, isn't worth it to be paid minimum wage and pay into kaiser that costs 200 dollars a month or pay into a different health care plan that requires that I pay into it for 6 months before getting the benefits of it. It's just not in my self interest to go to the doctors when I feel under the weather because it can be expensive just for a check up.
But enough about me, I'm wondering what do you think of ben shapiro? Dude's a hardcore conservative and a staunch believer in the free market. For me it's a spectrum with him. Sometimes he matches up with me and other times I would literally be arguing for hours with him over his overly pragmatic arguments.
*The figure SJSU pushed was 1 in 3 women being raped based on faulty self reports. If 1 in 3 women were raped in the us on college campuses, then it literally would be a rape state.

*The figure SJSU pushed was 1 in 3 women being raped based on faulty self reports. If 1 in 3 women were raped in the us on college campuses, then it literally would be a rape state.
If 55 percent of those are women, then 41.3 million girls are going to college right now. And if .33 are getting raped a year, then 13.5399 women have been raped in the us in one year. These types of misleading statistics are the type of things ben would argue against and not be at all concerned about your feelings. in fact, he often times states that your feelings don't matter. xDAccording to the US Census report, there are about to 16 million students enrolled in colleges across the United States (US). And, together with Pre-K through 12th grade, there are a total of 74.6 million students in the US.
