        The problem, as Ben Shapiro puts it in this must-read, is that “because conservatives don’t think about how to win that they constantly lose” in confrontations with leftists. The solution is to stop taking the bullying and learning to argue for victory. Among Shapiro’s rules for beating the left in confrontations are:

        Be willing to take a punch. (conservatives tend to shy away from confrontations because the left is rhetorically violent; but it is important “to walk toward the fire.” ) Hit hard, hit first. (leftists stage muggings; instead of fighting by Marquis of Queensberry rules, conservatives need to accept the strategy Mike Tyson: “Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the mouth.”)

        Immediately frame the debate. (“When you’re discussing global warming , for example, the proper question is not whether man is causing global warming but whether man can fix global warming—a question to which the universally acknowledged answer is no unless we are willing to revert to the pre industrial age.”) There are eight more rules that will allow a conservative to debate a leftist and destroy him. How to Debate Leftists and Destroy Them is not just a “how to” book. It is a survival manual.

        Holy shit lol

            That's been his thing for a while, just don't do anything about climate change, accept that sea levels will rise, and people living near the waterline will sell their houses to Aquaman and move, this will cause zero social disruption because my brain is big.

              Just got back from the Shapiro rally, it was great. Thousands of people holding hands chanting "Let's say, hypothetically, better things aren't possible"

          me: lets just develop autarky, use trains everywhere for everything, and stop using bunker fuel tankers, that will solve a lot of our problems

        21 whole pages!? Conservatives don't have the attention span to finish that. Give 'em a 30 second sound bite.

        Being called Enoch Wurmple or Rosanne Boyband or w/e inevitably leads to a life of constant embarassment, which most people end up overcompensating for, so it's actually the name that turns them into chuds.

    I don't know that Ben Shapiro introduced destroy, slam, etc. into the headlines that everyone uses for videos/articles alike, but I'm assuming it was him and that's what I find most despicable about him.

    Unironically though the book response to this, "give them an argument, logic for the left" is pretty good and a quick read.
