Quote me baby.

I can't be bothered to comb through your posting history, but this is one of the many things you frequently do, a sort of performative ignorance where you sail into threads discussing the subject in question and go out of your way to say "well of course I have NO IDEA who this person is, never even heard of them, but there seems to be some good qualities there". If you say that you haven't heard of somebody multiple times over the course of a long period of time, then you have in fact heard of them, you just have an interest in retaining the caveat that you haven't.

Andrew Neil hadn't heard of Shapiro, why should Biggy have?

Seems Gunn committed the crime of making fun of Ben Shapiro, who is some sort of conservative personality in America I've never heard of that Cernovich protects as lovingly as Philip Cross protects Oliver Kamm on wikipedia. Cernovich apperently has form doing this.
So this is at least the second time you've never heard of him before

Hey, Punk!

I love how even in that post he can't convincingly claim ignorance.

How can you give even a faint description of a thing and in the same breath claim you've never heard of it?

Ah mate, birdsong? That's some noise that apparently birds make with their mouths that I've never heard of.

The human heartbeat? Apparently it's some system that keeps people alive but I've never heard of it.

THE FUCKING WIND? APPARENTLY IT'S CAUSED BY THE OCEAN AND IT RUSTLES THE TREES BUT I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF IT

It fairness I think Biggy can credibly say Shapiro isn't on his radar, but given the number of times Shapiro has been mentioned in threads where Biggy was active, it lends credence to the recurrent criticism that Biggy is more interested in using these threads as mini-blogs than actually engaging in discussion.
Edit to add: to reiterate, it's really strange to me that a champion of non-MSM sources like Biggy hasn't heard of Ben Shapiro. It's like if Bill Oddie pointed at a magpie and screamed "What the hell is that?!?"

It's like Richard Ayoade and his inability to act like someone who can't act.

Matt Smith?!  My friend, them's fighting words.

Oi, let's not start slagging off lovely Matt Smith.

(Who, funnily enough, is playing Charles Manson in a film that should be out soon.)

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?

Because you have hair.

Extra emphasis on the word 'charming' then...

Personally I hate Matt Smith's big weird face, especially when it's balanced ontop of a bow tie. It's probably one of my least favourite faces of all time.
But I thought you were a Dr Who nerd and would appreciate the comparison.
Massive apologies.

Whenever I try to compliment anyone on their appearance it always ends like this.

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.

Ohhh if that avatar is a representation of you then I always assumed it was Lucifer in human form to be honest.

Whist it is an undeniable fact that I'm massive nerd, I can count on one hand the number of Doctor Who episodes which I've seen.  Doctor Who?  Who indeed.

Ah, that'd be why my suggestion for who you look like didn't provoke a response.

Fucking cringe.  What a petulant cunt.

Can we platform him with level headed British interviewers more often, maybe we can shine a light on the utter bullshit that is the Alt Right.

Imagine pretending you don't know who Ben Shapiro is just because he got DESTROYED

I guffawed, probably for all the wrong reasons.

Andrew Neill getting a lot of smoke blown up his arse for this, but was he really that good? He seemed just to be reading inflammatory quotes off a page. Which shows up how pathetic this Shapiro geezer must be, if even that was too much for him to handle. Granted, Neill did well to keep his calm/not give a shit, and that made the whole thing more amusing, but it was just a mildly diverting encounter between a gobshite and a tired orange man who looked like he'd just enjoyed a rather rich lunch, wasn't it? Or am I missing the point and IT WAS EXEMPLARY JOURNALISM?

I had the volume on my laptop right down, and didn't turn it up. Whatever it is, it can't live up to the magic of the title.

nah it wasn't exceptional or anything. it was your standard BBC interview style, but Shapiro's brain exploded anyway

You're missing Neill's sass at the end which left people with a good impression, 'Well, thank you for your time and showing that anger isn't part of political discourse.'

But yeah otherwise typical interview style.

Yeah, it was a decent catty closing line - better than the reading out of quotes cobbled together by a researcher that had preceded it, anyway.

Shapiro thinks that if someone asks you, "Does abortion reduce crime", the correct response is to spend two minutes refuting the claim using stats instead of simply saying, "Of course not, because to think otherwise would make you a frothing Nazi."

How come this 14 year old who does 'hilarious' YouTube videos taking the piss out of Muslims looks exactly like Shapiro? Some kind of cloning operation? (although she has a lower pitched voice than him).

Shapiro is a world class dunce and fraud, and has somehow slithered his way into the position of «top right wing intellectual» in the US, despite being dumb as shit, or more likely because of it. The New York Times bigged him up as «the cool kids' philosopher» some time ago, again despite being very stupid and producing nothing of value. All he does is gishgalloping at blue-haired art students who are already on the verge of tears when asking a question, thus DESTROYING them with FACTS AND LOGIC as it is understood by 16 year olds who can quote black-on-black FBI crime stats off the top of their head. It's a sad state of affairs when this has-been child debate prodigy is even a Twitter celeb.

For a primer on the 40 year old debate petulant, read Nathan Robinsons article on him in Current Affairs. If you are content to stay ignorant of this dipshit (as you should be), it suffices to know that he's rabidly pro-Israel and virulently racist. He talks a lot about «Judeo-Christian values» and he sells those brain pill supplements because of course he does. He writes some god-awful fiction too. Stay clear.
