Grondoth posted:Shapiro's popularity is... perplexing. He's always been the very picture of the kid who thinks he's better than everyone else because he finished his homework early, and nothing he's ever said has been anything other than the same kind of open advocacy of extermination of Muslims and tax cuts for billionaire economics that everyone on the right does. there's nothing interesting or new about him, other than the fact that he looks like the smug dickhole he is. Shapiro's method of travel is on a literal wave of dark money. The reason he's popular is because millions of dollars have been spent to make him popular. Every bit of SEO, every bit of paid boosting. Ben Shapiro is the human version of a publisher buying ten thousand copies of their own book to push it to the top of the best sellers list.

He's popular with young republicans and every young Republican is the kid who reminds the teacher they forgot to hand out homework.

That's basically every alt-right figurehead. Though it isn't exactly a phenomenon exclusive to them.

not sure if it's been posted but Friedersdork is apparently 38 years old based on this https://journalism.nyu.edu/publishing/archives/portfolio/friedersdorf/better_men_than_I.html quote:[from 2007] That's honestly loving sad but also hilarious that Jeff Goldberg's libertarian Wunderkind is actually almost 40 years old

Yinlock posted:"Nothing better protects victims of bigotry than a system where they can pursue their needs and wants outside the realm of popular control" This is part of a continuing meltdown on his part over socialists winning. Last installment he wrote an article claiming that socialists were moral equivalents of holocaust deniers because of Communist atrocities, and I'm guessing that being mocked on twitter is what caused him to pen this unfortunate article

we've put the victims of racially charged violence into this box. maybe they will still be victims when we open it, or maybe the problem magically solved itself. only quantum mechanics knows.
