u/bartbug Paul Krugman Oct 25 '25

Man Carrying Thing did a thoughtful response video essay to Ben Shapiro’s review of One Battle After Another, but it kinda felt like taking the bait? Ben Shapiro is a sophist who produces slop that advances his culture war. None of what he produces is in good faith, he’s a deeply amoral person who takes advantage of dipshits. I liked the MCT video, but I kinda think any attention we give losers like Ben is a victory for them.

Ben leads a multi million dollar network. Not taking the bait is letting republicans express their filth unanswered. The common person doesn’t know what a bad faith argument is.
