Yea it sucks the energy is only renewable until the sun explodes. Oh well, back to coal.

Not enough mass to go supernova; the sun is expected to become a red dwarf.

What's always astounding is how much a person has to actually know to be as stupid as Ben Shapiro (and Matt Walsh, and others). They have to study and learn in order to misuse the things that they've learned. It's impossible to be this wrong on accident.

Ben Shapiro isn't stupid. He is talking to stupid people, because stupid people give him power by following him.

Ben Shapiro is a conservative, which is to say he is a narcissist. He will say anything that benefits himself, and it is justified because he is Ben Shapiro, and Ben Shapiro believes Ben Shapiro is good. Therefore, if Ben Shapiro needs to lie, or obfuscate the truth, or speak to the emotions of his followers, he is righteous because it helps him win.

He is not concerned with reality unless reality helps him win. Ben Shapiro sees himself as a Nascar driver, and the truth is a frog hopping across the track. He's in a mindset that does not even register dishonesty as it's farting out of the large hole in his face.

He's talking to the people who will never see the replies calling him stupid. He's talking to the people who, like him, believe that they are the inherently righteous. They may or may not be stupid, but that doesn't matter to them at all. Ignorance isn't possible when you are good, because being good means you know and understand everything that a good person needs to know and understand. Anything more is elitist snobbery and deliberately confusing.

His asshole must be jealous of the shit coming out of his mouth though.

He's a professional who has spent his whole life aspiring to be the next Tucker Carlson (who aspired to be the next William F. Buckley).

His entire career has been predicated on far-right ideologues promoting his identity as a brand. Dude is entirely a product of celebrity and he spends every waking hour working on the next self-promotion. If his mouth is dropping turds, that is only because shitting out your gullet is what publishers and media magnets want to see in their spokesmodels.

If only Ben had been a staked 10/10 hottie or a roided up macho man, he'd be running for governor by now.

Ben Shapiro is an intellectual steamboat. A lot of hot air. Way to much effort. Stuck somewhere in the past.

"Whats next, libtards? Wireless phones? How can you charge a phone without a wire?"

The "Some more news" videos about him are a good watch.

also that time he called a conservative UK tv host a lib because he didn't like being called out on air by him

Doctor Mister Cody Johnston? The roasts they do on Behind the Bastards are great too. Especially reading Ben's books.

And guess what I found when I opened my phone up? That's right, wires. The thing is filled with wires.
