Then again, if Alex is just playing his audience then I suppose it would make sense to throw them some red meat

2018-07-03 13:58:31 UTC

Alex Jones and Ben Shapiro! ASS-TO-ASS MATCH!

2018-07-03 14:53:36 UTC

alex jones is gonna do a tag match with trump

2018-07-03 15:07:45 UTC

(((Ben Shapiro))) is at times more insane than Alex "Gay Frogs" Jones

2018-07-03 15:07:46 UTC

How

2018-07-03 15:08:28 UTC

I find him completely insufferable at times especially when he makes arguments based upon Judaism and applies that to literally everyone

2018-07-03 15:08:36 UTC

To sum it up: he's a bit of a cunt

2018-07-03 15:10:08 UTC

He makes very few arguments that are worth listening to, and his audience seems to be mostly people who want to watch him "pwn" people with even worse arguments than he himself brings to the table, namely SJW's and similar people.

2018-07-03 15:35:57 UTC

He's incredibly entertaining when he actually brings something of value to the table. He does so rarely.

2018-07-03 15:37:31 UTC

shapiro is the normiest of normie content

2018-07-03 15:37:47 UTC

the amount of shapiro owns sjw compilations I've been sent by politically illiterate normies is staggering

2018-07-03 15:40:32 UTC

The godly emperor ben shapiro totally destroys a sjw libtard in an EPIC, DESTRUCTIVE fashion ANNIHILATING him in seconds

2018-07-03 15:40:47 UTC

For once I agree with the socdem

2018-07-03 15:40:51 UTC

This cannot be

2018-07-03 15:41:21 UTC

But yeah, Shapiro is the most overrated political thing on YouTube

2018-07-03 16:12:53 UTC

Well

2018-07-03 16:12:58 UTC

Its microseconds

2018-07-03 16:13:11 UTC

You know how fast he talks, right?

2018-07-03 16:18:11 UTC

The party called โ€Vรคnsternโ€ (left side) had their partytalk dedicated to shittalk SD. Lmao.

2018-07-03 16:19:56 UTC

that's how you win votes!

2018-07-03 16:20:06 UTC

fling that dirt, so easy

2018-07-03 16:21:07 UTC

addressing relevant issues? Hah!

2018-07-03 16:21:46 UTC

The party members look exactly like how you would guess

2018-07-03 16:33:34 UTC

It's rare for Shapiro to bring up his jewness into an argument.

2018-07-03 16:59:09 UTC

I've seen him take on quite a few large leftist politicians before. He's definitely not bad. He's also incredibly smart. Cum Laude at Harvard and been on TV for his violin playing at like 12.

2018-07-03 16:59:44 UTC

Don't agree with him on everything, but yeah.

2018-07-03 16:59:54 UTC

Obviously he's going to have a bias to Israel.

2018-07-03 17:04:38 UTC

Ben also thinks like a trad theist, he's stated in the past that he thinks atheistic or agnostic people are more likely to be immoral simply because of their lack of faith<:thronk:441701565607444482>

2018-07-03 17:06:30 UTC

I mean, it's not entirely unfounded. It's easier to lie to yourself than it is to lie to someone else, more or less.

2018-07-03 17:08:00 UTC

When you feel like you can't steal because a god is always watching rather than if you steal and don't get caught, then you're without punishment.

2018-07-03 17:09:37 UTC

Whereas if you have those types of belief systems, if you steal, caught or not, you're always caught.

2018-07-03 17:10:46 UTC

So I can see the logic in that statement.

2018-07-03 17:15:16 UTC

yeah ben is a cuck.<:pepe_sad:378719408345841664>

2018-07-03 17:16:08 UTC

Remember, generalized statements like that based upon logic usually aren't attacks at you in particular.

2018-07-03 17:17:40 UTC

it's nice how he thinks that atheists and agnostics are more likely to be immoral, despite studies that show evidence to the contrary. I wonder if he justifies this by going the Peterson route by claiming those people aren't really atheists <:pepe_smug:378719408341909506>

2018-07-03 17:21:02 UTC

Agnostic folks generally aren't considered atheist. There is a reason these are two different terms.

2018-07-03 17:21:31 UTC

And to be fair, and not to sound rude: there are far more pressing things to worry about and people to bitch about than someone that agrees with you on the majority of things wrong in society today, but has a bit of a religious tint to his activism.

2018-07-03 17:21:58 UTC

Who said anything about them being the same, though?

2018-07-03 17:24:22 UTC

Well considering what you said, about a study regarding athiests AND agnostics, and then about Peterson saying something about people not being atheist, that's the only thing I could think of to bring up that would follow the logic I see outright.

2018-07-03 17:25:34 UTC

I do not recall off the top of my hat if people who said they believed in some kind of spirit or life force of the universe, were lumped in with atheists, in the studies that showed differences in moral behavior between them and religious people

2018-07-03 17:26:01 UTC

Agnostics basically are indecisive, atheists are confident.

2018-07-03 17:26:55 UTC

that's not the distinction I generally see

2018-07-03 17:26:59 UTC

I think it'd be easier to seperate into groups those who believe in objective morality/ethics, and those who don't.

2018-07-03 17:27:15 UTC

it's usually agnostic atheism vs gnostic atheism

2018-07-03 17:27:35 UTC

and the people who say they believe in some kind of life force or spirit, are really just some kind of new age spiritualist

2018-07-03 17:27:55 UTC

I also don't consider the majority of self-proclaimed Christians to be Christian. 70% of America identifies as Christian, and I can guarantee there aren't nearly enough Churches for that many actual Christians.

2018-07-03 17:28:28 UTC

so you decide who is christian and who isn't? I generally tend to take people's word for it, if they say they're christian

2018-07-03 17:28:43 UTC

is a christian someone who goes to church every week?

2018-07-03 17:28:55 UTC

If you're going to be part of any religion, you don't pick and choose what to follow.

2018-07-03 17:29:06 UTC

but that's what most people do

2018-07-03 17:29:12 UTC

Isn't that the definition of a denomination?

2018-07-03 17:29:29 UTC

Denominations come from different interpretations.

2018-07-03 17:29:41 UTC

only fundamentalists who follow the word of the bible to the letter are "true" christians then?

2018-07-03 17:30:08 UTC

Well if you're also not practicing your religion, it's hard to consider you part of it.

2018-07-03 17:30:31 UTC

What about cultural christians?

2018-07-03 17:30:45 UTC

"Cultural Christians"?

2018-07-03 17:31:01 UTC

just put restrictions and regulations on all religions.

2018-07-03 17:31:26 UTC

the people who believe western values are formed from a christian ideological basis

2018-07-03 17:31:38 UTC

well they are.

2018-07-03 17:31:39 UTC

Arguably they are.

2018-07-03 17:31:55 UTC

not really, but that tends to be a longer discussion than I care for

2018-07-03 17:32:07 UTC

"In God we Trust." "God-given right."

2018-07-03 17:32:20 UTC

@Mal really then why aren't they.<:pepe_smug:378719408341909506>

2018-07-03 17:32:32 UTC

Look at your damn money.

2018-07-03 17:32:59 UTC

if you cared, you'd look it up yourself, instead of having me trying to explain it to you in a way that can only end up coming across as incredibly condescending <:pepe_smug:378719408341909506>

2018-07-03 17:33:18 UTC

Obviously our western values are derived from chsritianity, or else the Muslims wouldn't be so fucked

2018-07-03 17:33:20 UTC

is that a centrist typing?<:think_woke:378717098681171988>

2018-07-03 17:33:29 UTC

At the time Europe was still quite Christian.

2018-07-03 17:34:02 UTC

So it's not difficult to say that it was founded on the moral basis of Christianity.

2018-07-03 17:34:04 UTC

yeah religion needs to be controlled and regulated.

2018-07-03 17:34:25 UTC

Because what is moral to society, is what society primarily sees as moral.

2018-07-03 17:34:34 UTC

I do not think some words that were added to your paper bills in the 50's make it entirely obvious that what you're saying is somehow true <:pepe_smug:378719408341909506>

2018-07-03 17:34:42 UTC

And when society is primarily Christian, then it's logical to say it was.

2018-07-03 17:34:46 UTC

He's right you know

2018-07-03 17:34:51 UTC

@Mal you mean the 17th century?

2018-07-03 17:35:05 UTC

except the moral values you call christian did not suddenly pop into existence with the advent of christianity <:pepe_smug:378719408341909506>

2018-07-03 17:35:07 UTC

"in God we trust" was added in the 1950s

2018-07-03 17:35:14 UTC

16th century, I believe.

2018-07-03 17:35:22 UTC

the pennies were earlier

2018-07-03 17:35:24 UTC

by the english?

2018-07-03 17:35:24 UTC

or cents

2018-07-03 17:35:27 UTC

@Mal No, it came from the Jews

2018-07-03 17:35:29 UTC

But you can feel free to argue with my point.

2018-07-03 17:35:36 UTC

It should be fun to hear that response.

2018-07-03 17:35:43 UTC

so it suddenly popped into existence with the Jews, I see

2018-07-03 17:35:56 UTC

Well, the Jews and the Greeks, but yes

2018-07-03 17:36:46 UTC

They both kind of invented distributed rule/democracy

2018-07-03 17:36:54 UTC

and before that, there was only anarchy, people killed eachother, and did everything that the jewish god magically prevented when people started worshipping him alone, instead of the others that were worshipped alongside him?

2018-07-03 17:37:07 UTC

I'd like to hear the counter to my argument.

2018-07-03 17:37:08 UTC

no societies that saw the benefit of not murdering eachother

2018-07-03 17:37:10 UTC

Before you move on.

2018-07-03 17:37:13 UTC

No, it was mostly tyrants and warlords/ central kings

2018-07-03 17:37:41 UTC

At the time Europe was still quite (hugely) Christian. So it's not difficult to say that it was founded on the moral basis of Christianity. Because what is moral to society, is what society primarily sees as moral.

2018-07-03 17:37:45 UTC

To repost.

2018-07-03 17:37:49 UTC

Ah yes, and none of them instituted laws and regulations against murdering people indiscriminately, for example?

2018-07-03 17:38:04 UTC

why would they do such a thing, if there was no god to tell them it was the right thing to do?

2018-07-03 17:38:17 UTC

@Mal Are you going to keep being a snarky bitch, or do you actually want to have a discussion?

2018-07-03 17:38:49 UTC

I told you it would come off as condescending before we began <:pepe_smug:378719408341909506>

2018-07-03 17:39:01 UTC

I also told you I didn't have time for it, and to look it up for yourself if you cared
