    Shapiro says Disney movies are Marxist so yeah I'm sure he cares about accurate descriptions

    wow I wonder what fascists among the Republicans are referring to when they talk about a vague and nebulous conspiracy of "elites" being behind cultural marxism and white genocide

      I think Yang is just really, really dumb, in that way techbros who have never set foot in an liberal arts classroom are dumb.

    Ben Shapiro truly takes on a whole new level of being a supporter for the party/people that will inevitably abduct him in the dead of night and buried in a random hole never to be found again

      Shapiro is a California native ensconced in one of the most conservative LA neighborhoods money can buy. He is totally insulated from the consequences of his actions and (shy of :xi-plz:) always will be.

      If the winds were to ever truly turn against American Jews - and not simply The Left With Jewish Characteristics - he would just join hands with the Lincoln Republican caucus and become a new convert to the Manchin Wing of the Democratic Party. But I don't really see that happening any time soon. Not in a GOP where guys like Ben Carson, Candice Owens, and Dinesh D'souza grift with impunity. There will always be a place for the Good Jew in the Republican pundit landscape.

        His wealth alone would likely allow him to exit this country in such an event as well. Nah it's not so much he will ever see a consequence for his actions, it's just always interesting to see how many people will submit themselves for financial gain to groups that despise them for merely existing.

          With a sizable haircut, maybe. And then where would he even run? Even the Brits aren't having any of his shit. His career would be irreparably damaged.

          it’s just always interesting to see how many people will submit themselves for financial gain to groups that despise them for merely existing.

          Ben Shapiro has more than enough groupies and sycophants to stroke his ego. Its barely even a trade off.

    We didn’t chant “Jews will not replace us,” but instead “You will not replace us.” FACTS DONT CARE ABOUT YOUR FEELINGS GET YOUR FACTS RIGHT!

    Obviously the point isnt to convince anyone that isnt already ok with it, but you'd really have to have a babys brain to think that theres a meaningful difference between saying the whole theory and saying that every single event and effect posited by the theory is in fact occuring as the theory states, but you dont provide a cause for it.

    Some of the replies are way worse with someone saying the manifesto is fake because nobody's truly that stupid, and someone else agreeing and "scared" for how easily people believe it to be real.

      In fairness to normal people we hang out in a pretty bizarre part of the cultural and ideological spectrum. I can see why people who grew up in a nice middle class suburb would think that something as violent and ideologically driven as the Buffalo shooter's manifesto would be fake.

      I'm not sure how to feel about GOP representatives suddenly realizing that they're the part of ethnic cleansing and deciding they don't want to be.

    That just means it's completely normalized within American political discourse. It's also an implicit theory around democrats since it's more about how the government can regulate it rather than relying on white settler violence.

    "I didn't say YOU were a reverse-racist! I just smugly and passive-aggressively IMPLIED you were a reverse-racist hellbent on getting revenge against us!

    No need to get so defensive!"
