I think it’s REALLY important to listen to both sides.
Sticking to your own ideological bubble is DANGEROUS. For one… how do you know what you believe is RIGHT unless you know what the other side has to say? Secondly… The ONLY way to stand up for what you believe in is to know the other side’s argument… and be able to defend your views against it.
Echo chambers are dangerous… which is why I listen to Bill Maher, the View, Rachel Maddow and a handful of other liberal sh*t shows on the regular. I know what we’re up against.
I suggest you do the same.
Anyway… liberal actor Mark Duplass suggested his “fellow liberals” look up Ben Shapiro as a good source of Conservative thought, which I’d tend to agree with. He makes A LOT of really excellent, well thought-out points. (I differ with him on his opinion of Trump… but seriously. The man’s really, REALLY good.)

So… how did that go over?
Juuuuust guess:
“His intentions are good…” (for whom?) https://t.co/dlMOQ5CkAI

Joyce Carol Oates was once one of my favorite writers…
Then she freaked out about people hunting dinosaurs. So yeah. She’s fried.
Mark you are a good person so I really don’t think you mean that! He is anti-feminist, dishonest, racist and many other things that I think you will discover if you take time to read this thread.

He is *insert all words liberals lob around about any and all conservatives* !!!
A guy with Neo Nazi rattoos once offered to help change my tire. I said no thanks and called AAA. Just because he helped you, doesn’t mean he’s a good person.

Cool story.
Fascists who dislike Trump are still fascists.
Fascists who do a nice thing for you personally are still fascists.
Fascists who treat other people *they see as people* with genuine decency and empathy aren’t remarkable or paradoxical or not fascists.

Ben is an ARDENT supporter of the First Amendment.
This guy silences anyone he doesn’t agree with as a “Fascist.”
Should we look that big word up for him?
@benshapiro is a Very Fine Nazi and he helped me once so let’s help him grow his audience and listen to his Nazi ideas because we will surely convince them to meet us somewhere in the middle between Nazi and not Nazi.
Or not. @MarkDuplass you’re being played. https://t.co/ndlOM2jCjG

Ben Shapiro is an Orthodox Jew.
lol ben shapiro the racist and “genuine person” do not belong in the same sentence
what the fuck is this tweet lol— cassidy🌵💐 (@yearofmondays) July 18, 2018
…how and why? Explain yourself.
Makes me say.. what the fuck is wrong with Mark? This blatant racism n he still gives the guy a pass? just because he was nice to you? Thinking like this is dangerous as hell for POC…

Yup, mark is just showing off how good it is to be a white guy

The hate goes on and on and on and on. Not ONE of these people was able to provide any proof of his “OBVIOUS” racism.
So in true lib-wuss fashion, Mark not only apologized… he managed to call the guy he had JUST said was a good person with clean intentions a “homophobe, racist, xenophobe, etc. etc. etc.”
— Mark Duplass (@MarkDuplass) July 19, 2018
Well… that was pathetic.
And Ben has issued a response:
So in 24 hours I apparently went from being a person with good intentions to a racist sexist bigot. Twitter toxifies any attempt to cross the aisle. There’s no conservative Mark could have recommended who wouldn’t receive the same blowback. https://t.co/JEizw69eFH
— Ben Shapiro (@benshapiro) July 19, 2018
Not a one.
But the libs continued their little buzz-mob:
Very sensitive for someone who says facts don’t care about your feelings.
— Molly Jong-Fast (@MollyJongFast) July 19, 2018
Apparently calling out liberals for the HYPOCRITICAL PSYCHOPATHS they are is “very sensitive.”
These people are legitimately demented.
