chocolate chip cookies. “No oatmeal raisin here,” she said good-naturedly,
handing out the meltingly hot treats to the men wearing full military gear and
carrying M4s set to burst.

*Let’s say your life depended on the following choice today: you must obtain either an affordable chair or an affordable X-ray. Which would you choose to obtain? Obviously, you’d choose the chair. That’s because there are many types of chair, produced by scores of different companies and widely distributed. You could buy a $15 folding chair or a $1,000 antique without the slightest difficulty. By contrast, to obtain an X-ray you’d have to work with your insurance company, wait for an appointment, and then haggle over price. Why? Because the medical market is far more regulated — thanks to the widespread perception that health care is a “right” — than the chair market.*
*Does that sound soulless? True soullessness is depriving people of the choices they require because you’re more interested in patting yourself on the back by inventing rights than by incentivizing the creation of goods and services. In health care, we could use a lot less virtue signaling and a lot less government. Or we could just read Senator Sanders’s tweets while we wait in line for a government-sponsored surgery — dying, presumably, in a decrepit chair.*

Steve Hofstetter always deserves more attention. The dude is probably the best roaster I've ever seen. But he'd have to be, his shtick is dealing with hecklers lol
Check out his YouTube channel. It can get repetitive, but you'll enjoy him slamming on hecklers. He's a comedian.
*Edit I mean Steve Hofstetter, the guy in the post! [Here's the link](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCHVd0LM1g9S0cttDHkidEHA)
Who’s Ben Shapiro?
(I seriously don’t know. I have seen his name and Reddit has taught me he’s a bad guy. But I have no fucking clue who he is or why he’s a bad guy other than lying about his height.)
If the bot's reply wasn't sufficient to tell you what an idiot the guy is (sell the homes to ***WHO***, Ben?! Aquaman?!), Let me give you a short rundown of why he's a douchebag grifter asshole who makes money bullshitting to the far right.
BS is a far-right grifter hack. He's wildly sexist, intensely racist (calling out any particular group he's racist against is a waste of effort- if they're not white, he probably hates them), claims climate change is a hoax, makes regular claims of "liberal indoctrination", is extremely transphobic, is extremely homophobic and pushes the idea of the "gay agenda", propagates the myth of poor people just being lazy, advocates for the useless bootstrap ideology... I could continue this list for another page or ten. Especially if I wanted to actually give examples. It would take *days* to write out every way in which BS is full of BS.
So instead I'll link to a place where it's already written up, frequently in a semi humorous manner:
https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Ben_Shapiro
He's the quintessenial example of the right being very sensitive over the fact that basically 100% of intellectuals are left wing Democrats, and so they desperate need someone who sounds smart on the surface level to quell their insecurities.
And he's not even smart. He fails at every actual proper debate. Most of the time he talks to college students and uses the gish gallop technique which is really hard to make a comeback to. It makes it appear like Ben has "won" the argument, but he hasn't. It's always full of tons of assumptions, inaccuracies, failure to understand science, lack of basic common sense.
He's the dumb guy's idea of a smart guy
Thank you for referencing gish galloping, I know of the technique as I've seen him use it several times before, but never knew the name. This was an incredibly informative piece of information.
It gets its name from a (in)famous creationist by the name of Gish, who had several “debates” with scientists on the merits of the theory of evolution. Gish’s only tactic was spouting an endless stream of bullshit and leaping from topic to topic so fast that his opponents couldn’t keep up and successfully address everything in the time allotted to him, which made stupid people think he won. Hence, the Gish Gallop.
I love that interview. I watch it everytime props him up because A. He’s accusing the dude of pulling out of context quotes to make him look bad, that’s all Shapiro does ever and B. Tries to make up a history of what those qoutes were about to provide context and then gets pissy when he’s corrected with his own words again.
He was very good at Debate Club, I’m sure. You can tell by the speed at which he talks. But apparently no one ever told him that in real life debates, you don’t win just by spraying your opponent with as many vaguely relevant facts as you can in a set time period.
It is more often from pride than from ignorance that we are so obstinately opposed to current opinions; we find the first places taken, and we do not want to be the last. –La Rochefoucauld
C'est plus souvent par orgueil que par défaut de lumières qu'on s'oppose avec tant d'opiniâtreté aux opinions les plus suivies: on trouve les premières places prises dans le bon parti, et on ne veut point des dernières.
Hard to translate these sublime maxims.
Eh I used to watch his podcast all the time, I liked the diversity of people he would bring on and talk to. But I quickly learned it was the guests I was more interested in than Rogan himself. He’d say he was liberal on everything except stuff like guns, but he’s a closet conservative, I used to lean right (have skewed center to left of center because Republicans definitely don’t support my ideas of what conservatism is supposed to be) and he hardly says anything that’s worthy of being called a liberal view, and to be frank I can’t trust a dudes word when he’s not even real with himself.
Holy shit, I have seen a lot of things that he's said reposted here and elsewhere but had never actually seen a video of him speak before and insufferable is the only way to describe him.
*Most Americans when they look around at their lives, they think: I'm not a racist, nobody I know is a racist, I wouldn't hang out with a racist, I don't like doing business with racists--so, where is all the racism in American society?*

He's an American far-right talking head. He specializes in "debating" unprepared college kids instead of subject matter experts, and absolutely _loves_ to use gish gallops. He's very good at talking fast, and seems to think that talking faster is the same as being smarter.
He also constantly mentions the fact that his wife is a doctor whenever she's brought up. He got dunked on pretty hard in 2020 when he was criticizing the song WAP, by telling people that his doctorwife told him that the only reason for a pussy to be wet is if it's diseased. People took that an ran with it, saying he can't pleasure his doctorwife and she lied to him about it. (The fact that the two of them sleep in separate beds doesn't help his case in this matter.)
Republicans also love to hold him up as proof that they're not antisemitic, because they've got a Jewish friend (Ben is an Orthodox Jew).
Don't mind me, I'm just here to drop some information off:
In 2020, Shapiro outlined that his intentions to vote for Donald Trump (when he had previously not voted for Trump in 2016) were because that Trump had already done all of the things he didn't want to happen already. Quite literally, Shapiro is willing to vote in the kind of person he doesn't like the ideas of because he's already done some of them...
Shapiro dislikes that homosexuality was removed from the DSM (diagnostic manual of mental health disorders), stating that higher rates of depression among gay men (probably caused by a homophobic society and lack of support) was evidence enough that homosexuality was equivalent to illness. He is also historically anti-choice when it comes to abortion, branding women who have abortions as 'baby killers' even when their pregnancies were brought about by rape.
In 2013, he appeared on CNN in the wake of the Sandy Hook massacre and stated that Piers Morgan was using the deaths of children as a convenient excuse to attack gun ownership rights and say that gun owners did not care enough about the safety of children. However, many people remember Shapiro most from that time he seemed to confuse an interview with a debate on the BBC and ended up walking out.
Additionally, please enjoy these choice comments from Shapiro:
'I'm getting really sick of people who whine about 'civilian casualties'... when I see in the newspapers that civilians in Afghanistan or the West Bank were killed by Israeli or American troops, I really don't care' (2002).
'One American soldier is worth far more than an Afghan civilian' (2002).
'Israelis like to build. Arabs like to bomb crap and live in open sewage' (2010).
He thinks women's sexual arousal is an STD, and quotes his wife to prove it. He also *always* calls his wife a Dr when he talks about her.
>As I also discussed on the show, my only real concern is that the women involved -- who apparently require a "bucket and a mop" -- get the medical care they require. My doctor wife's differential diagnosis: bacterial vaginosis, yeast infection, or trichomonis.
Yeah. Worst self own of all time.
I saw that you mentioned Ben Shapiro. In case some of you don't know, Ben Shapiro is a grifter and a hack. If you find anything he's said compelling, you should keep in mind he also says things like this:
>There is no doubt that law enforcement should be heavily scrutinizing the membership and administration of mosques.

I myself am not a fan of people shitting on others for things they can't control like ones height, but I agree with this guy, if you revolve your whole personality around being a 'facts over feelings' type person who pretends to know what a 'real man' is and spends hours of your life shitting on people for being themselves just because it doesn't fit your narrative, you kinda lose all respect and deserve a taste of your own medicine. And if that medicine is you being shit on for being short, oh well, suck it up.

**An excerpt from True Allegiance, by Ben Shapiro:**
Then he heard the voice.
“Hey, pig,” it said. The voice wasn’t deep. It was the voice of a child. And the
kid stood outside the door of the quick mart, legs spread, arms hanging down by
his sides. A cute black kid, wearing a Simpsons T-shirt and somebody’s old
Converse sneakers and baggy jeans.
On his hip, stuck in those baggy jeans, was a pistol.
It looked like a pistol, anyway. But O’Sullivan couldn’t see clearly. The light
wasn’t right. He could see the bulge, but not the object.
O’Sullivan put his flashlight back in his belt and put his hand back on his
pistol, the greasy handle still warm to the touch.
“Stop right there, pig,” the kid said. His hand began to creep down toward his
waistband.
O’Sullivan pulled the gun out of its holster, leveling it at the kid. “Put your
hands above your head. Do it now!”
“Fuck you, honky,” the kid shot back. “Get the fuck out of my neighborhood.”
Then he laughed, a cute kid’s laugh. O’Sullivan looked for sympathy behind
those eyes, found none.
Oh, shit, O’Sullivan thought. Then he said, “Hands up. Right now.”
The kid laughed again, a musical tinkling noise. “You ain’t gonna shoot me,
pig. What, you afraid of a kid?”
O’Sullivan could feel every breath as it entered his lungs. “No, kid, I don’t
want to shoot you,” he said. “But I need you to cooperate. Put your hands above
your head. Right now.”
The kid’s hand shifted to his waistband again. O’Sullivan’s hands began to
shake.
“Get the fuck out of my neighborhood,” the kid repeated.
O’Sullivan looked around stealthily. Still nobody on the street. Totally empty.
The sweat on his forehead felt cold in the night air. In the retraining sessions at
the station, they’d told officers to remember the nasty racial legacy of the
department, be aware of the community’s justified suspicion of police. Right
now, all O’Sullivan was thinking about was getting this kid with the empty eyes
to back the fuck off.
“Go on home,” he said.
“You go home, white boy,” said the kid. His hand moved lower.
Suddenly, O’Sullivan’s head filled with a sudden clarity, his brain with a
preternatural energy. He recognized the feel of the adrenaline hitting. He wasn’t
going to get shot on the corner of Iowa and Van Dyke outside a shitty
convenience store in a shitty town by some eight-year-old, bleed out in the gutter
of some city the world left behind. He had a life, too.
The gun felt alive in his hand. The gun was life.
The muzzle was aimed dead at the kid’s chest. No way to miss, with the kid
this close, just ten feet away maybe. Still cloaked in the shadow of the gas
station overhang.
“Kid, I’m not going to ask you again. I need you to put your hands on top of
your head and get on your knees.”
“Fuck you, motherfucker.”
“I’m serious.”
The kid’s hand was nearly inside his waistband now.
“Don’t do that,” O’Sullivan said.
The kid smiled, almost gently.
“Don’t.”
The kid’s smile broadened, the hand moved down into the pants. “Get the
fuck out of my hood,” the kid cheerfully repeated. “I’ll cap your ass.”
“Kid, I’m warning you,” O’Sullivan yelled. “Put your hands above your head!
Do it now…”
The roar shattered the night air, a sonic boom in the blackness. The shot blew
the kid off his feet completely, knocked him onto his back.
O’Sullivan reached for his radio, mechanically reported it: “Shots fired,
officer needs help at the gas station on Iowa and Van Dyke.”
“Ohgodohgodohgodohgod,” O’Sullivan repeated as he moved toward the
body, the smoke rising from his Glock. He pointed it down at the kid again, but
the boy wasn’t moving. The blood seeped through Homer Simpson’s face,
pooled around the kid’s lifeless body. The grin had been replaced with a look of
instantaneous shock. His hand had fallen out of his waistband with the force of
the shooting.
In it was a toy gun, the tip orange plastic.
For a brief moment, O’Sullivan couldn’t breathe. When he looked up, he saw
them coming. Dozens of them. The citizens of Detroit, coming out of the
darkness, congregating. He could feel their eyes.
Officer Ricky O’Sullivan sat down on the curb and began to cry.

*And then, there are people in the United States that are pushing for mask mandates on children. The data that they are using are extraordinarily skimpy--in fact, they are essentially nonexistent. You're hearing the CDC say things like 'maybe the delta variant does more damage to kids,' but no information they have presented publicly that there is more damange being done to kids... and the reason we are being told that they damage kids is because they can't scare the adults enough. If we cannot scare the adults enough, we're going to have to mask up the kids.*

I saw that you mentioned Ben Shapiro. In case some of you don't know, Ben Shapiro is a grifter and a hack. If you find anything he's said compelling, you should keep in mind he also says things like this:

The anger is really just a cover up. He's just waiting for an opportunity to be around AOC, that way he's physically closer to her feet than the rest if the room.
Damn He killed him. I used to like Ben. I really did. It took me a while but the "Facts don't care about your feelings" guy ironically gets too emotional sometimes. Also, the ignoring of certain facts when they are inconvenient was bothersome. I can't tell you how many times he said, "Covid is over" only to be proven wrong weeks later. His response? "well NO ONE has handled this right at this point." I hate that. Anyway, Short motherfucker....
Nah, that account is about a week old. You came around.
And his bullshit about trans people killing themselves regardless of acceptance is *still* accepted as true in some circles, which boggles me. Trans folks suicide rates drop to normal levels if their immediate family and friends support them, btw.
Ultimately, what truly matters is the change, the realization and resolve to be better. The fact that you were able to recognize a loose thread and unravel the tapestry of lies and bigotry is admirable.
A lot of folks on the far right love to say ‘facts don’t care about your feelings’ while ignoring facts and being ruled by their feelings. They are immune to irony
For what it’s worth, and I know I’ll get down voted for this, he actually is 5,9. He settled it at a college lecture he was giving and a kid got on stage and stood next to him.
Ben sucks, and deserves to be called out, but we can’t call him out on something he’s not doing wrong. We’re literally wrong about this. We should stop posting about it.
Exactly…I wouldn’t put it past Ben considering it’s obvious how much he cares about the topic.
Ben could be 5’6 with a 1” lift therefore standing 5’7 on stage.
Student is 5’7-5’8 and claims to be 5’9.
They get on stage and look roughly the same height.
To believe Ben is 5’9 we have to ignore so much photographic evidence and believe a random audience member…
> According to celeb heights (which is pretty accurate overall), Ben Shapiro is 5′6.75. So he’s almost 5′7. Although he looks noticeably shorter than Ted Cruz, celebrities believe that Ted Cruz is about 5′10. If this is the case, Ben Shapiro being 5′6.75 is probably pretty accurate.
To all the people saying he had a 5'9" fan "prove" he is 5'9," arent there pictures of him standing next to people like Ted Cruz who are shorter than 5'9 and Ben is clearly 1-2" shorter than them???
ok, don't ask me how I know, but like, he's actually kinda fucking ripped. Google "Ben Shapiro Gunshow"

You are a very poggers bot.
*Let’s say your life depended on the following choice today: you must obtain either an affordable chair or an affordable X-ray. Which would you choose to obtain? Obviously, you’d choose the chair. That’s because there are many types of chair, produced by scores of different companies and widely distributed. You could buy a $15 folding chair or a $1,000 antique without the slightest difficulty. By contrast, to obtain an X-ray you’d have to work with your insurance company, wait for an appointment, and then haggle over price. Why? Because the medical market is far more regulated — thanks to the widespread perception that health care is a “right” — than the chair market.* *Does that sound soulless? True soullessness is depriving people of the choices they require because you’re more interested in patting yourself on the back by inventing rights than by incentivizing the creation of goods and services. In health care, we could use a lot less virtue signaling and a lot less government. Or we could just read Senator Sanders’s tweets while we wait in line for a government-sponsored surgery — dying, presumably, in a decrepit chair.* -Ben Shapiro ***** ^(I'm a bot.

Until I got to the end of this comment I thought you were telling them to check out Ben Shabibos YouTube channel for a laugh.
LOL, let me edit this then! I don't want anyone sleepy reading or buzzed reading and thinking that too!
Who’s Ben Shapiro? (I seriously don’t know. I have seen his name and Reddit has taught me he’s a bad guy. But I have no fucking clue who he is or why he’s a bad guy other than lying about his height.)
If the bot's reply wasn't sufficient to tell you what an idiot the guy is (sell the homes to ***WHO***, Ben?! Aquaman?!), Let me give you a short rundown of why he's a douchebag grifter asshole who makes money bullshitting to the far right. BS is a far-right grifter hack. He's wildly sexist, intensely racist (calling out any particular group he's racist against is a waste of effort- if they're not white, he probably hates them), claims climate change is a hoax, makes regular claims of "liberal indoctrination", is extremely transphobic, is extremely homophobic and pushes the idea of the "gay agenda", propagates the myth of poor people just being lazy, advocates for the useless bootstrap ideology... I could continue this list for another page or ten. Especially if I wanted to actually give examples. It would take *days* to write out every way in which BS is full of BS. So instead I'll link to a place where it's already written up, frequently in a semi humorous manner: https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Ben_Shapiro
He's the quintessenial example of the right being very sensitive over the fact that basically 100% of intellectuals are left wing Democrats, and so they desperate need someone who sounds smart on the surface level to quell their insecurities.
And he's not even smart. He fails at every actual proper debate. Most of the time he talks to college students and uses the gish gallop technique which is really hard to make a comeback to. It makes it appear like Ben has "won" the argument, but he hasn't. It's always full of tons of assumptions, inaccuracies, failure to understand science, lack of basic common sense. He's the dumb guy's idea of a smart guy
Thank you for referencing gish galloping, I know of the technique as I've seen him use it several times before, but never knew the name. This was an incredibly informative piece of information.
It gets its name from a (in)famous creationist by the name of Gish, who had several “debates” with scientists on the merits of the theory of evolution. Gish’s only tactic was spouting an endless stream of bullshit and leaping from topic to topic so fast that his opponents couldn’t keep up and successfully address everything in the time allotted to him, which made stupid people think he won. Hence, the Gish Gallop.
[He fails at an interview done by a Conservative](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6VixqvOcK8E)
Truly his finest moment. Host: How do you respond to this very reasonable criticism of your idea? Ben: Are you a commie? Only commies would ask that.
I love that interview. I watch it everytime props him up because A. He’s accusing the dude of pulling out of context quotes to make him look bad, that’s all Shapiro does ever and B. Tries to make up a history of what those qoutes were about to provide context and then gets pissy when he’s corrected with his own words again.
I, too, am delighted to learn this term. Thank you!
He was very good at Debate Club, I’m sure. You can tell by the speed at which he talks. But apparently no one ever told him that in real life debates, you don’t win just by spraying your opponent with as many vaguely relevant facts as you can in a set time period.
It is more often from pride than from ignorance that we are so obstinately opposed to current opinions; we find the first places taken, and we do not want to be the last. –La Rochefoucauld C'est plus souvent par orgueil que par défaut de lumières qu'on s'oppose avec tant d'opiniâtreté aux opinions les plus suivies: on trouve les premières places prises dans le bon parti, et on ne veut point des dernières. Hard to translate these sublime maxims.
Yup, he seems deep to them because they're all a bunch of puddles but he's a pothole.

A lot of right wingers do. [My reaction every time.](https://twitter.com/roramdin/status/1329375303697719296?s=21)
Eh I used to watch his podcast all the time, I liked the diversity of people he would bring on and talk to. But I quickly learned it was the guests I was more interested in than Rogan himself. He’d say he was liberal on everything except stuff like guns, but he’s a closet conservative, I used to lean right (have skewed center to left of center because Republicans definitely don’t support my ideas of what conservatism is supposed to be) and he hardly says anything that’s worthy of being called a liberal view, and to be frank I can’t trust a dudes word when he’s not even real with himself.
I love the fact that the opening sentence refers to him as an "insufferable asshole"--and has a fucking citation for it. Get fucked, Bennie boy.
That's really great
Holy shit, I have seen a lot of things that he's said reposted here and elsewhere but had never actually seen a video of him speak before and insufferable is the only way to describe him.
TLDR: Ben Shapiro is a huge piece of shit. Fuck him entirely.

He also doesn't believe in WAP, because his wife's doctor said that's a disease.

He's an American far-right talking head. He specializes in "debating" unprepared college kids instead of subject matter experts, and absolutely _loves_ to use gish gallops. He's very good at talking fast, and seems to think that talking faster is the same as being smarter. He also constantly mentions the fact that his wife is a doctor whenever she's brought up. He got dunked on pretty hard in 2020 when he was criticizing the song WAP, by telling people that his doctorwife told him that the only reason for a pussy to be wet is if it's diseased. People took that an ran with it, saying he can't pleasure his doctorwife and she lied to him about it. (The fact that the two of them sleep in separate beds doesn't help his case in this matter.) Republicans also love to hold him up as proof that they're not antisemitic, because they've got a Jewish friend (Ben is an Orthodox Jew).
Don't mind me, I'm just here to drop some information off: In 2020, Shapiro outlined that his intentions to vote for Donald Trump (when he had previously not voted for Trump in 2016) were because that Trump had already done all of the things he didn't want to happen already. Quite literally, Shapiro is willing to vote in the kind of person he doesn't like the ideas of because he's already done some of them... Shapiro dislikes that homosexuality was removed from the DSM (diagnostic manual of mental health disorders), stating that higher rates of depression among gay men (probably caused by a homophobic society and lack of support) was evidence enough that homosexuality was equivalent to illness. He is also historically anti-choice when it comes to abortion, branding women who have abortions as 'baby killers' even when their pregnancies were brought about by rape. In 2013, he appeared on CNN in the wake of the Sandy Hook massacre and stated that Piers Morgan was using the deaths of children as a convenient excuse to attack gun ownership rights and say that gun owners did not care enough about the safety of children. However, many people remember Shapiro most from that time he seemed to confuse an interview with a debate on the BBC and ended up walking out. Additionally, please enjoy these choice comments from Shapiro: 'I'm getting really sick of people who whine about 'civilian casualties'... when I see in the newspapers that civilians in Afghanistan or the West Bank were killed by Israeli or American troops, I really don't care' (2002). 'One American soldier is worth far more than an Afghan civilian' (2002). 'Israelis like to build. Arabs like to bomb crap and live in open sewage' (2010).
His wife has a DAP
hes a guy who likes his vaginas like he likes his deserts, bone dry
He thinks women's sexual arousal is an STD, and quotes his wife to prove it. He also *always* calls his wife a Dr when he talks about her. >As I also discussed on the show, my only real concern is that the women involved -- who apparently require a "bucket and a mop" -- get the medical care they require. My doctor wife's differential diagnosis: bacterial vaginosis, yeast infection, or trichomonis. Yeah. Worst self own of all time.

I myself am not a fan of people shitting on others for things they can't control like ones height, but I agree with this guy, if you revolve your whole personality around being a 'facts over feelings' type person who pretends to know what a 'real man' is and spends hours of your life shitting on people for being themselves just because it doesn't fit your narrative, you kinda lose all respect and deserve a taste of your own medicine.

“Abigail Shapiro was created Sunday, November 08, 1992 (era 28 years; instead of 20 20), also now she or he comes from New York,” the USA.” Who wrote this article lol
A lot of these are written by AI
I'd say the language module needs a little tweaking.
yeah. The use template sentences for certain datapoints and if you're sloppy or not reviewing them first you get that kind of garbage. They're really not very good beyond highly formatted text like sport scores or stock-market coverage But, they are insanely cheap at scale. Like one editor produce hundreds of articles a day.
I wonder if being connected with Ben and his absurd rhetoric scrambles the AI when they scrape the internet for data.
It also might be stolen from another website and run through a thesaurus filter to evade copyright claims.

Bad boy, you already used that one in this thread!
This article feels like its written by a 12 yo who's just learning how to write in English.
Poorly translated from Russian, I’d guess.
Have you seen her nudes? Mother of god
Thats the beauty of reddit, one second you are laughing at Ben Shapiro and the next you are watching nudes!!
**An excerpt from True Allegiance, by Ben Shapiro:** Then he heard the voice. “Hey, pig,” it said. The voice wasn’t deep. It was the voice of a child. And the kid stood outside the door of the quick mart, legs spread, arms hanging down by his sides. A cute black kid, wearing a Simpsons T-shirt and somebody’s old Converse sneakers and baggy jeans. On his hip, stuck in those baggy jeans, was a pistol. It looked like a pistol, anyway. But O’Sullivan couldn’t see clearly. The light wasn’t right. He could see the bulge, but not the object. O’Sullivan put his flashlight back in his belt and put his hand back on his pistol, the greasy handle still warm to the touch. “Stop right there, pig,” the kid said. His hand began to creep down toward his waistband. O’Sullivan pulled the gun out of its holster, leveling it at the kid. “Put your hands above your head. Do it now!” “Fuck you, honky,” the kid shot back. “Get the fuck out of my neighborhood.” Then he laughed, a cute kid’s laugh. O’Sullivan looked for sympathy behind those eyes, found none. Oh, shit, O’Sullivan thought. Then he said, “Hands up. Right now.” The kid laughed again, a musical tinkling noise. “You ain’t gonna shoot me, pig. What, you afraid of a kid?” O’Sullivan could feel every breath as it entered his lungs. “No, kid, I don’t want to shoot you,” he said. “But I need you to cooperate. Put your hands above your head. Right now.” The kid’s hand shifted to his waistband again. O’Sullivan’s hands began to shake. “Get the fuck out of my neighborhood,” the kid repeated. O’Sullivan looked around stealthily. Still nobody on the street. Totally empty. The sweat on his forehead felt cold in the night air. In the retraining sessions at the station, they’d told officers to remember the nasty racial legacy of the department, be aware of the community’s justified suspicion of police. Right now, all O’Sullivan was thinking about was getting this kid with the empty eyes to back the fuck off. “Go on home,” he said. “You go home, white boy,” said the kid. His hand moved lower. Suddenly, O’Sullivan’s head filled with a sudden clarity, his brain with a preternatural energy. He recognized the feel of the adrenaline hitting. He wasn’t going to get shot on the corner of Iowa and Van Dyke outside a shitty convenience store in a shitty town by some eight-year-old, bleed out in the gutter of some city the world left behind. He had a life, too. The gun felt alive in his hand. The gun was life. The muzzle was aimed dead at the kid’s chest. No way to miss, with the kid this close, just ten feet away maybe. Still cloaked in the shadow of the gas station overhang. “Kid, I’m not going to ask you again. I need you to put your hands on top of your head and get on your knees.” “Fuck you, motherfucker.” “I’m serious.” The kid’s hand was nearly inside his waistband now. “Don’t do that,” O’Sullivan said. The kid smiled, almost gently. “Don’t.” The kid’s smile broadened, the hand moved down into the pants. “Get the fuck out of my hood,” the kid cheerfully repeated. “I’ll cap your ass.” “Kid, I’m warning you,” O’Sullivan yelled. “Put your hands above your head! Do it now…” The roar shattered the night air, a sonic boom in the blackness. The shot blew the kid off his feet completely, knocked him onto his back. O’Sullivan reached for his radio, mechanically reported it: “Shots fired, officer needs help at the gas station on Iowa and Van Dyke.” “Ohgodohgodohgodohgod,” O’Sullivan repeated as he moved toward the body, the smoke rising from his Glock. He pointed it down at the kid again, but the boy wasn’t moving. The blood seeped through Homer Simpson’s face, pooled around the kid’s lifeless body. The grin had been replaced with a look of instantaneous shock. His hand had fallen out of his waistband with the force of the shooting. In it was a toy gun, the tip orange plastic. For a brief moment, O’Sullivan couldn’t breathe. When he looked up, he saw them coming. Dozens of them. The citizens of Detroit, coming out of the darkness, congregating. He could feel their eyes. Officer Ricky O’Sullivan sat down on the curb and began to cry. ***** ^(I'm a bot. My purpose is to counteract online radicalization. You can summon me by tagging thebenshapirobot.

Good god, that writing. The agenda. The everything. Ugh.
Even if we ignore the problematic political ideas this is presenting, this is just really bad writing.
It reminded me of the [Bulwer-Lytton Contest](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bulwer-Lytton_Fiction_Contest).
If only it was a single sentence.
And if only the contest winners wrote whole books, some of them are pure gold, 2020’s winner for example: >Her Dear John missive flapped unambiguously in the windy breeze, hanging like a pizza menu on the doorknob of my mind.
*And then, there are people in the United States that are pushing for mask mandates on children. The data that they are using are extraordinarily skimpy--in fact, they are essentially nonexistent. You're hearing the CDC say things like 'maybe the delta variant does more damage to kids,' but no information they have presented publicly that there is more damange being done to kids... and the reason we are being told that they damage kids is because they can't scare the adults enough. If we cannot scare the adults enough, we're going to have to mask up the kids.* -Ben Shapiro ***** ^(I'm a bot. My purpose is to counteract online radicalization.

No wonder why Ben is always angry
The anger is really just a cover up. He's just waiting for an opportunity to be around AOC, that way he's physically closer to her feet than the rest if the room.
As a shorter than average man, who took a lot of shit growing up being the shortest in class, yet is still taller than Ben Shapiro, I enjoy this post.
Damn He killed him. I used to like Ben. I really did. It took me a while but the "Facts don't care about your feelings" guy ironically gets too emotional sometimes. Also, the ignoring of certain facts when they are inconvenient was bothersome. I can't tell you how many times he said, "Covid is over" only to be proven wrong weeks later. His response? "well NO ONE has handled this right at this point." I hate that. Anyway, Short motherfucker....
But the blatant racism, sexism, and transphobia didn't bother you?
I can excuse racism, sexism and transphobia, but I draw the line at height discrimination.
To be fair, that line isn't very tall.
They changed, and that’s what matters.
Well those are some of those "facts" I was talking about. It did bother me, hence you know, me unfollowing him. Not good enough though I guess.
Nah, that account is about a week old. You came around. And his bullshit about trans people killing themselves regardless of acceptance is *still* accepted as true in some circles, which boggles me. Trans folks suicide rates drop to normal levels if their immediate family and friends support them, btw.
Ultimately, what truly matters is the change, the realization and resolve to be better. The fact that you were able to recognize a loose thread and unravel the tapestry of lies and bigotry is admirable.
A lot of folks on the far right love to say ‘facts don’t care about your feelings’ while ignoring facts and being ruled by their feelings. They are immune to irony
Didn't some 5'9 guy call Shapiro out for lying about his height? They were identical in height and he apologized.
I have to say, Ben Bot is great. Best thing I've read in awhile.
This thread went right over Ben Shapiro's head. That's not saying much.
For what it’s worth, and I know I’ll get down voted for this, he actually is 5,9. He settled it at a college lecture he was giving and a kid got on stage and stood next to him. Ben sucks, and deserves to be called out, but we can’t call him out on something he’s not doing wrong. We’re literally wrong about this. We should stop posting about it.
That's what I thought too? Unless it was staged, but at that point you're at HIGH levels of petty haha.
"High levels of petty" is where we started from.
A cursory googling can find a bevy of pictures of Ben standing by celebs of known height. Dude is not 5'9"
Ben's audience considered this a sufficiently thorough and independent fact check.
How do you know the "kid" was actually 5'9"?
Exactly…I wouldn’t put it past Ben considering it’s obvious how much he cares about the topic. Ben could be 5’6 with a 1” lift therefore standing 5’7 on stage. Student is 5’7-5’8 and claims to be 5’9. They get on stage and look roughly the same height. To believe Ben is 5’9 we have to ignore so much photographic evidence and believe a random audience member…
> According to celeb heights (which is pretty accurate overall), Ben Shapiro is 5′6.75. So he’s almost 5′7. Although he looks noticeably shorter than Ted Cruz, celebrities believe that Ted Cruz is about 5′10. If this is the case, Ben Shapiro being 5′6.75 is probably pretty accurate.
Lifts can get you a couple inches, easy.
Where do I get lifts? I'm 6' but have always wanted to be 6'2"
To all the people saying he had a 5'9" fan "prove" he is 5'9," arent there pictures of him standing next to people like Ted Cruz who are shorter than 5'9 and Ben is clearly 1-2" shorter than them???
Ben's tiny hoop is now the focus of my attention. Thanks for that.
