Ballad of Ballard Berkley

I don't think that's necessarily true. There are lots of people in the age of social media looking for someone to sound authoritative and reinforce views they already have. It's arguably more a cult of personality, and I expect the comments under this video will be full of his fans performing any somersaults they need to to claim Shapiro is somehow wronged by left wing bias, paedo BBC etc etc

I think the best course of action is to just do nothing, ever, and live in a drawer.

I genuinely have no idea who Ben Shapiro is and this is my first exposure to him, but to his credit i am slightly impressed with his reaction, he seems to have taken the besting with humility and admitted he was wrong. He's obviously a mad right wing christian type, but he doesn't seem to be an ego driven type at all.

I had no idea who he was before this.

I expected him to be able to handle an interview better given his work on the O. J. Simpson trial.

100% Horse shit.

I wasn't questioning whether biggie had heard of him.  Was commenting on his final sentence about Shapiro being ego-less, which is a mad thing to say if you know anything about him.

I expected a bit more cheer from him, after hearing "Walking back to Happiness". What a croc.

He might be bullshitting but he did say:

QuoteBen Shapiro
@afneil
DESTROYS Ben Shapiro! So that's what that feels like ;)
Broke my own rule, and wasn't properly prepared. I've addressed every single issue he raised before; see below. Still, it's Neil 1, Shapiro 0.

I suppose you could say he's still being a bit of an ego there, but he's also not being massively dickish about it.

I neither know nor care who he is.

Ben Shapiro's reaction is just transparent toadyism to the audience and more importantly the media establishment that he can 'play the game'. His supporters will take it as a failure of him to prepare. Those 'let's hear the side of a crypto-facist/white supremacist' left-wingers will take it as a sign of good faith,

You've mentioned him before!

I think only to say he has no idea who he is?

They explicitly mentioned that he's Jewish in the interview. And he's wearing a yarmulke. And his name's Shapiro.

Hey, Punk!

He's one of those people whose face perfectly matches his personality.

Bloody Nora.  As if looking like Charles Manson wasn't enough, I now realise that I also look like Ben Shapiro.  Why can't I look like a decent person for a change?  Probably because I'm a cunt, I suppose.

Oh and by the way, Shapiro's voice sounds like somebody hit the x1.5 speed setting on the video.

Same with Jordan Peterson.  They're not tiny people, so it's not Napoleon Syndrome, but Mickey Mouse Syndrome, maybe?  Espousing pull yaself up by your bootstrap masculinity to make up for their own girly voiceboxes.

Don't get me started on Mickey Mouse.

Fuck you, Disney.

Actually isn't Shapiro known for being physically diminuative? I remember Milo Y used to regularly bag him about it back when he was in his pomp.

Quote me baby.

I hadn't really heard of him either, except for seeing him in the myriad far right videos Youtube seems to think I give a flying fuck about. However,

is hilarious. I mean, just look at his fucking face. That fixed frown just screams self-importance.

Nah, I don't see a resemblance. You have a charming Matt Smith face, he's a whiny crybaby cunt with a face to match.
This Venn diagram as far as I'm concerned doesn't have much overlap.

YouTube have been trying to get me to click on 'why Ben Shapiro is so dominant in debates' for what seems like years now. Not idea why as I have no interest in debates, dominating them, or Ben Shapiro. But I'm sure this video was much more entertaining.

He should stick to his debating tactic of only debating 18 year old arts students.

How the hell does someone with your level of consumption of new media journalism not know who Ben Shapiro is? Not judging you one way or the other, I just find that really weird.

Judging by your avatar, I'd have said Morten Harket.

Now this I like.  I wish that I had his BMI but all the same, what a compliment or to put it another way, them's complimentary words.
