He also declared Barbie would fail. Go woke or go broke. Right, Ben?
I don’t think about him at all.
Look at Disney
Are you unironically saying Disney went broke? The company that probably owns most of the entertain properties that you consume.
It’s producing nothing but shit lately tho. Marvel movies suck, with the exception of Spiderman which is handled by Sony, Pixar movies suck, their own Disney animation movies suck, Star Wars was a disaster. Sure they may make money but the quality is really, really low.
“I don’t like disney’s new stuff so nobody likes it!!!”
“And they’re going broke, despite making tons of money! Yeah!”
Yo, but the facts don’t care about your feelings. Lol
Disney is printing money whether you like the content or not.
Producing content you don’t like has exactly zero bearing on this conversation.
Sure they may make money but the quality is really, really low.
By this I assuming you mean rake in a metric fuck ton of cash every day of the year.
Sure they may make money but the quality is really, really low.
Do you understand what ‘going broke’ means?
Hint: Making money is the exact opposite of that.
Maybe you don’t enjoy children oriented entertainment as much as you used to?
Look at what? Isn’t their revenue in the last quarterly report up?
The biggest entertainment conglomerate in the world?
Ok.

21.92% decline in 2020. Why did they decide to become so incredibly woke for that year alone?!??
Did something happen that year that could have affected thir income?
I don’t think so. Perhaps there was a global woke mind virus. Looking at the finances of many companies, it seems they all went broke and thus woke during that specific year.

You mean the wealthiest media company? Yup, totally going broke /s
Okay I’m looking at Disney, now what?
Hold on. Is this the shrink-face-guy or the guy who can’t get his wife wet?
Don’t wanna sound racist, but they all look the same to me.
Shrink face guy isn’t Jewish. This is Ben “wet vaginas are a sign of disease” Shapiro
I’m not sure it matters if you want to or not
Good point.
Hang on, Ben Shapiro has a wife?? I have so many questions.
A wife that he admitted doesn’t get aroused with him. Says that wet pussies as a medical condition. Poor lady
But hey, I hear she’s a doctor!
Wait, is that two different people?
if you’re genuinely asking, this is Ben “Doctor Wife Thinks Wet Ass Pussy Is Bad” Shaprio, not Charlie “Tiny Face” Kirk.
I was being genuine, thought the tiny face thing was something involving Sharpie.
Google Charlie Kirk and then wonder why he chose to be a right wing grifter rather than sell his shrink ray.
I’ve seen practically nothing but photoshopped Charlie Kirk pictures for so long that I can’t tell if a genuine photo is real or not.
Yes
Shrink faced guy is an Evangelical Christian so no yarmulke for him.

You know, up until today, I’d never heard Bench Appearo’s voice. It’s fitting.
Ben Shapiro’s Jewish…association and his Kippah are two of the least offensive things about the man, the first of which is he commonly argues against people because of how icky they make him feel.
I have few issues against Jews. I have plenty of issues against transnational white-power affiliates and bigoted assholes. And Shapiro is demonstrably both.
Is it really a ‘god’ if it can’t see through fabric?
If you could see what’s going on in everyone’s heads all the time, you’d also come up with a way to avoid looking at some.
I’d like to think, as an all knowing omniscient being, that I’d come up with something a little better than hat-that-doesnt-entirely-cover-your-head
It’s a sacred hat, we mere mortals can’t see the glow it emits covering the whole wearer in an “ignore this” field. 😇
‘Hacker Hoodie’ Blinds Surveillance Cameras with Infrared Light
Well if you’re seeing through everything all the time then you aren’t seeing anything. You’ve gotta pick what you’re going to see and that precludes seeing what’s behind it. Unless we’re talking about some omniscience sense. But then that’s not seeing.
A Jewish friend once explained the yarmulke as just being polite to god. “He doesn’t want to look down and see that.” I had never thought of the crown of the head as an offensive area. 🤷♂️
But "god is everywhere all the time’ so ‘he’ won’t necessarily be looking down. he may be looking at you, or from below, behind, etc.
This ‘god’ is touted as having unlimited power; able to do anything. he would be able to not see what he wants, when he wants.
Religious ‘rules’ and stories make no sense. This ‘god’ flooded Earth but had noah build an ark with animals. Then he drowned everything on Earth. Mass genocide. Why drowned all the living? Are you not a ‘god’? Why not just make people disappear? Did he not have an ‘un-create’ button on his laptop?I wonder how ordinary people thought about this kind of thing 2000 years ago. Did they even have this notion of “god is everywhere?” They had no idea what the sky or stars were, so maybe they just thought god was literally up there. And did they have these elaborate mind teasers about omnipotence or did they just think god was vastly more powerful than us?
Fear is the beginning of all religions. They were afraid of the things they didn’t understand, thunder, lightning, perpetual rain, drought. So these things were ‘reasoned’ away by assigning all the gods, zeus, poseidon, etc to be the overseer of those events. Eventually people thought worshiping and sacrifices ‘fed’ or calmed the gods. It is common in all religions and superstitions remain about many aspects of all religions.
Humanity is able to explain so much now. We no longer spend our time believing all the stories from the clergy, shamans, village leaders, we actually can verify facts.
We carry computers in our pockets, we are the gods now.
well that just misses the whole point lol
not that I agree with religion, but your argument is a strawman built on ignorance
All Abrahamic ‘gods’ are touted as ‘all knowing, all seeing’. They, allegedly, have unlimited powers. It’s not a strawman to point out inconsistencies in a touted ‘perfect’ religion.
Mythologies are based on whatever-you-want-to-believe-at-the-moment, not facts.
This is the dumbest response to any sort of argument and meant intentionally to make an argument rather than a discussion. Facts don’t care about feelings, but people do. And if you don’t care about the person you are talking to you are just a hack looking to exploit.
Granted I’m human and have made this mistake when people forget about facts and try to bring them the side I see and have faultered. But I’m not trying to exploit it into a brand of morality and claim I am better than anyone else either.

Goddamn, you really got yourself worked up there, and a shit take to boot. Most of the time that someone uses the phrase “facts don’t care about your feelings” those people are arguing in bad faith, cherry picking data and purposefully excluding context to cater to their desired conclusion. My go to example is the statistics of violent crime convictions by race. There are so many extraneous details to that statistic that you could never truly conclude anything based on that statistic alone. It fails to take into account the environmental conditions, social factors, economic factors, and biases in the justice system when you present that statistic at face value.

Are you responding to the correct comment? I literally never said anything defensive… basically nothing you said applies to me or my comment, so it’s pretty clear you are engaging in some egregious projection there. Hopefully you figure your problems out.
I mean, where did I specify right-wingers in my comment? I intentionally left it open because of course people of different opinions are capable of bad faith argument. Once again, you are projecting, and it’s making you look silly.
😭
I can see that reading isn’t your thing. In a podcast, yes it’s a hacky gimmick that right wing dumbasses repeat because critical thinking isn’t about as abundant as teeth or girls that they share amongst themselves.
But when you are actually talking to someone, feelings do matter. Or you are just blurting out stuff for your own ego. Your facts don’t mean shit to the person listening unless you care about how they are receiving the information.
No one, and I mean this stronger than I do to anyone I have ever said anything to (including my son or mother), no one, is so important that their information is above this social norms.
There is no saving humanity conversation like in the movies. Or some dumb hero’s quest with your knowledge. You are just like the rest of us. Your facts are easily found. The relationships you have with people are not.
Feelings do matter in the real world. It’s a snake oil salesman pitch to sell a “real man’s” cosplay that people buy because they can’t look internally to actually fix themselves.

“Muahaha, you activated my trap card! Wait, you want to know what my trap card was? It’s… uh… that I win because I said so! Neener neener!”
That’s you. That’s how you sound.
I responded how you talked to me. I thought was how you choose to communicate. Funny how that works.

Holy fuck
Oh look what you’ve done. You’ve driven me to point at Sartre’s antisemite quote:
Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.
— Jean Paul Sartre

Checkmate liberals
Facts AND feelings should both be validated. Can’t people think dialetically?
To be fair, any head covering is fine, jews have just all decided that the kippah is some timeless shit.
