Has Lil' Ben actually ever made any coherent arguments for whatever passes for "conservative values" or rebuttals of anything to the left of him? All I know about him is he's the Daily Wire that wrote a terrible Tom Clancy knockoff novel rife with latent homoeroticism and racism that got a Chapo reading series, and he's got one of the most annoying voices I've ever heard and thinks "more gish gallop=more smarter." Everything I've seen of him has been reactionary culture war teeth gnashing hysterics since he knows what gets hogs to click his videos. If he's the smartest online reactionary slop-peddler, that's a scathing indictment of the rest of them. Then again, if your peers are Dave Rubin, Steven Crowder, Tim Pool, etc I guess he might be like a pro level benchwarmer playing in the minors making the rest of them look worse by comparison.
Depends on your definition of "coherent". He has to leave stuff out, misrepresent and straight up lie because he's arguing for things that are morally, factually and philosophically wrong, but he's good at being a debate bro and he's capable of logical thought more so than morons like Tim Pool, Steven Crowder or Matt Walsh. Especially if you compare him to Michael Knowles, one of the other Daily Wire bozos, Shapiro comes off as way more intelligent.
