He also declared Barbie would fail. Go woke or go broke. Right, Ben?
I don't think about him at all.

You mean the wealthiest media company? Yup, totally going broke /s
Okay I'm looking at Disney, now what?
Just go back to reddit
Hold on. Is this the shrink-face-guy or the guy who can’t get his wife wet?
Don’t wanna sound racist, but they all look the same to me.
Shrink face guy isn’t Jewish. This is Ben “wet vaginas are a sign of disease” Shapiro
I’m not sure it matters if you want to or not
Good point.
Yes
Shrink faced guy is an Evangelical Christian so no yarmulke for him.
reminder of the time he called a right BBC presenter a leftist because he didn't like his questions
You know, up until today, I'd never heard Bench Appearo's voice. It's fitting.
Ben Shapiro's Jewish...association and his Kippah are two of the least offensive things about the man, the first of which is he commonly argues against people because of how icky they make him feel.
I have few issues against Jews. I have plenty of issues against transnational white-power affiliates and bigoted assholes. And Shapiro is demonstrably both.
Is it really a 'god' if it can't see through fabric?
Well if you’re seeing through everything all the time then you aren’t seeing anything. You’ve gotta pick what you’re going to see and that precludes seeing what’s behind it. Unless we’re talking about some omniscience sense. But then that’s not seeing.
A Jewish friend once explained the yarmulke as just being polite to god. “He doesn’t want to look down and see that.” I had never thought of the crown of the head as an offensive area. 🤷♂️
But "god is everywhere all the time' so 'he' won't necessarily be looking down. he may be looking at you, or from below, behind, etc.
This 'god' is touted as having unlimited power; able to do anything. he would be able to not see what he wants, when he wants.
Religious 'rules' and stories make no sense. This 'god' flooded Earth but had noah build an ark with animals. Then he drowned everything on Earth. Mass genocide. Why drowned all the living? Are you not a 'god'? Why not just make people disappear? Did he not have an 'un-create' button on his laptop?
well that just misses the whole point lol
not that I agree with religion, but your argument is a strawman built on ignorance
All Abrahamic 'gods' are touted as 'all knowing, all seeing'. They, allegedly, have unlimited powers. It's not a strawman to point out inconsistencies in a touted 'perfect' religion.
Mythologies are based on whatever-you-want-to-believe-at-the-moment, not facts.
This is the dumbest response to any sort of argument and meant intentionally to make an argument rather than a discussion. Facts don't care about feelings, but people do. And if you don't care about the person you are talking to you are just a hack looking to exploit.
Granted I'm human and have made this mistake when people forget about facts and try to bring them the side I see and have faultered. But I'm not trying to exploit it into a brand of morality and claim I am better than anyone else either.
"Facts don't care about your feelings" is a statement geared toward people upset at the fact a certain statement is true. And it is true, usually. Reality supercedes people's feelings and to get along in life you do have to accept that.
Arguing "Well, people DO care about feelings and if you don't cater to them and avoid offending us, we won't listen to you" means all of jack and shit to people like that because they're not actually trying to get you to do anything, they're just speaking for the sake of it. If anything, they're doing you a favor and your negative reaction does nothing but justify their negative worldview that convinced them to prioritize reality over your feelings to begin with.
See, you care only about your feelings, but clearly not theirs because in the face of facts you are blatantly resorting to emotional blackmail and, quite frankly, bullying, so why would they give a shit about how you feel?
In their minds you're nothing but childish, immature dipshits and you prove their point when you talk about your feelings in discussions about anything but that. They could be talking about peas and carrots and you'd be bitching about how your feelings got hurt when they told you carrots were not originally orange but were bred that way and you threw a hissy fit because that opens holes in your worldview.
You all are something else, man. I see why the right wing thinks you're a joke.
Goddamn, you really got yourself worked up there, and a shit take to boot. Most of the time that someone uses the phrase "facts don't care about your feelings" those people are arguing in bad faith, cherry picking data and purposefully excluding context to cater to their desired conclusion. My go to example is the statistics of violent crime convictions by race. There are so many extraneous details to that statistic that you could never truly conclude anything based on that statistic alone. It fails to take into account the environmental conditions, social factors, economic factors, and biases in the justice system when you present that statistic at face value.
I can see that reading isn't your thing. In a podcast, yes it's a hacky gimmick that right wing dumbasses repeat because critical thinking isn't about as abundant as teeth or girls that they share amongst themselves.
But when you are actually talking to someone, feelings do matter. Or you are just blurting out stuff for your own ego. Your facts don't mean shit to the person listening unless you care about how they are receiving the information.
No one, and I mean this stronger than I do to anyone I have ever said anything to (including my son or mother), no one, is so important that their information is above this social norms.
There is no saving humanity conversation like in the movies. Or some dumb hero's quest with your knowledge. You are just like the rest of us. Your facts are easily found. The relationships you have with people are not.
Feelings do matter in the real world. It's a snake oil salesman pitch to sell a "real man's" cosplay that people buy because they can't look internally to actually fix themselves.
Oh look what you've done. You've driven me to point at Sartre's antisemite quote:
Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.
— Jean Paul Sartre
「points.」

Checkmate liberals
To be fair, any head covering is fine, jews have just all decided that the kippah is some timeless shit.

Feelings matter as much as cold hard facts. For example, immigrants in general provide boost to the economy more than they take. However, fact of the matter too is that humans are still too tribalistic and feel unease see "too many foreigners". Some traditions are also, I believe, is important to bind society together because they connect with another being. I don't know what religion or culture you profess, but can you imagine if there is no Christmas, Hannuka, Thanksgiving or Diwali? No yearly street festival in your neighbourhood? No Halloween or St Patrick's Day? These traditions and customs bind people together. Many people would feel alienated if some or all of these traditions disappear. I certainly remember growing up there is stronger community spirit, but now there aren't as individualism and materialism took precedence, thanks to capitalist values. I think there should be balance with most things but I digress. Feelings matter as much as facts and these feelings manifests in social upheaval and policies.
Someone passed me in the lobby of my building while I was awaiting an Uber. He had jewish curls.
I don't hate anyone based on race. I hate based on belief and other choices.
I hate people wearing crosses. I hate anyone who advertises religion. I don't need to know.
Fuck everyone who wants you to know. Unless your ceremony results in something I can't perceive, don't do it.
Prejudice is fine as long as you can logically moralise it in your head right
Risky time to be throwing shade at the Jewish people
Not a great time for the Jewish community to visit the AtheistMemes community…
You serious?
