    Failed screenwriter & demagogue Ben Shapiro is jealous of a successful TV show and uses hateful, bigoted rhetoric to grift people indoctrinated with similar hateful bigotry.

      Demagogue? You give him too much credit. Ideologue is more fitting.

      Demagogue implies leadership on his part. He follows already established views and beliefs. Without much original of his own.

      Also I wouldn’t call him a bigot. You have better tools.

          I was thinking he was just a bit weird in his reply then he goes and answers with “Mensa” energy. Yeah, has to be a troll.

            “Mensa energy” Shapiro or me?

            Either way you are giving both of us too much credit. But I’ll take the compliment.

          Looking at his comment history, definitely a troll. But I’m not sure you can call this single cell organism a troll.

        Many of life’s issues are caused by large groups of less than average intelligence following the leadership of someone less than reasonable or rational. Be it from a lack of intelligence or other cognitive disabilities.

        The mob needs direction, leadership is often as simple as pointing the mob in the direction it would already follow anyway but that gives the mob the belief that it is the correct/acceptable/true direction

        He is a biggot. He is intelligent. He is a narcissist. He is blinded by his self worth. He is a smarmy little fuck who uses a lot of words to talk in circles, and is very quick with his ability to reply. He is well coached but stands on certain pillars he won’t ever reevaluate. Possibly he can’t

        Someone said Mr Beast has the most punchable face in a different post. My first thought was no thats probably Ben Shapiro.
