Despite it being propaganda and making him money , still an inceedibly sad way for an adult to spend his time.

    Serious, masculine men spend their time wearing suits, drinking whiskey, smoking cigars, and talking about barbie for the better part of an hour.

      if he was a real, masculine sigma male, the video would be in the 4 - 7 hours ballpark. distinguished gentlemen just need that much time to vent about how the barbie movie isn't on brand enough.

      Chuds get told, "There's potential here, give it a little more work and you might have yourself a film"

          What, you didn't like his story where a "race hustler" orchestrates an elaborate plan to have a cop shoot a black kid causing riots all over the country?

            So let me get this straight: They assume black people to be dumb but assume they are intelligent enough to plot riots across an entire continent all for the simple motive of "because I feel like it lol"?

              The kid pointed a toy gun or some shit at the cop and the cop was absolutely not going to die in some poor part of town so he shot a 5 year old.

              Get ready for a wild ride.

              CW: this gets racist quickly

              The secondary antagonist - Levon Williams, wants to kick start a race war so he convinced a child to point a toy gun at the cop because he knows that the police officer would have no choice but to murder a (I think 10 year old, might be younger) kid.

              At the same time he spreads word around the black community of Detroit so that they pour out of the woodwork immediately after the cop kills the kid so they can all be witnesses, while at the same time destroying all but one CCTV camera because if the murder is caught on any other camera people would see that the cop was in the right.

              He then uses his newfound influence as the figurehead of the protests to get his crack dealing, civil rights mentor assassinated so that he can leverage his death into becoming mayor of Detroit on account of being the only one able to control the violent mob of BLM thugs.

              This gives Levon the political power to lower minimum IQ on police requirements so black people can join the Detroit police, so that he can use them to cut power to the suburbs and lynch white people.

                you know I didn't expect it to get more racist at the end. I was expecting the level of racism up until the end when wow

                  There's a scene after Levon has his mentor killed but before he becomes mayor where the protesters are stopping the cop that killed the kid from being released from prison by surrounding it.

                  All hope is lost until a mob of bikers led by an anti-enviromentalist terrorist ride in wearing shirts emblazoned with a racist slogan (something along the lines of "kill all thugs") the bikers fire on the protesters, starting a riot.

                  This is all, of course, played as the bikers being heroes rescuing an innocent man from a lynch mob

                I love how it's just implicit that a cop killing a child with a toy gun is morally correct.

            How bad is it?

            The Turner Diaries might as well be renamed Little Timmy's First Fanfic. The protagonist is an overpowered Mary Sue that decides to kill everyone for not being as cool as he is. The end.

        The tweet is about a month old, so it's possible that he was still seething about it when he made the Barbie video.

      Can you imagine this thumbnail posted in something like 2010?

      I would think either some kid ripping apart Barbie dolls like Sid for 45 minutes... or porn.

        Two of my coworkers regularly listen to Ben Shapiro at work. They simply refer to him as "the news."

          My favorite was my ex-friend roommate who had him on and when I pressed him on the fact that we have a trans friend he was like "well I disagree with him on trans people".

            Oh I had a friend who was exactly the same, I'd remind him I'm non-binary. My friend would say "Oh, well he (Shapiro) is deeply religious, so he can't agree with transgender stuff."

            My friend assured me he was cool with trans people except now 6 years later he's a Catholic fundamentalist lol

    I just can't take the idea of Ben Shapiro with facial hair seriously. He looks like a child whose siblings glued dog fur onto his face while he was sleeping as a prank. Like a suit kid who wears flannel and sharpies on a beard every morning because he wants to be a lumberjack when he grows up.

      The problem is that his facial hair is a different color than his scalp hair or eyebrows. His lower face and upper face look like different people.
