MODERATORS
Is he ever happy with anything? Like, I'm not even here to debate his views. He just seems so miserable all the time, as if he can't find any joy in life.
Itβs hos job to be upset. He is happy with the money that he makes from the attention.
βattention hoβ sums him up pretty well
Yeah happiness is a free time endeavour. Every time you see any picture of Ben Shapiro, he's working.
You are describing every modern conservative ever
I'm describing Ben Shapiro, the man in the picture.
...as well as every other modern conservative.
It takes no effort to steer a conversation about a prominent right-wing social media figure who harps on prominent right-wing culture war issues towards conservatives.
Those things are literally the same topic.
I do agree that it's low effort.
That's true for the entire conservative culture wars.
Yβall went off the rails right about here when this got personal. You can try again, or better yet just disengage since this seems like a fairly low stakes disagreement.
You see this on both sides lol
Nowhere did I say it was exclusively modern cons, but they sure are the majority
Worked with him recently on a project ( I was an extra, I do not support their trash) and he was a tool. All the higher ups at DW were smarmy or openly rude and bitchy to the cast and crew. Especially Candace Owens. They were all so far up their own asses it was ridiculous.
He's happy with his sister's cup size.
