This piece of shit isn't worth the air he breathes, what a waste of life

[–] Llituro@hexbear.net 2 points 5 days ago

like rasputin for gusanos the world over.

[–] Mangoholic@lemmy.ml 8 points 6 days ago (2 children)

Makes no sense, this guy flip flops his bad opinions just as much.

[–] Lowleekun@hexbear.net 9 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I believe that bens videos are too long for these mud brains to focus on. Assmongo has noticed that his people want short brainrot, not much longer than shorts. These videos are already pushing it and I foresee them getting shorter.

[–] Llituro@hexbear.net 2 points 5 days ago

in terms of the medium, ben and co are trapped in a more old media mindset. i think they're basically embarrassed to be youtube guys and not a cable channel. so they just can't find and execute the kind of slop that people are into right now. every daily wire "guy" is a failed artist of some kind: failed actors, writers, directors. asmongold is a guy that failed to beat dark souls. there is a gulf between the kinds of brains on these guys.

[–] Llituro@hexbear.net 3 points 5 days ago

well i think if anything they prefer asmongold because he still flip flops his bad opinions just as much to keep up with the current trump position but he doesn't do some nerd shit trying to make some tortured argument about why it's not a flip flop actually. the mold man just goes "yeah, based" and moves on. they have all the power, so there's no need to waste energy trying to make arguments or whatever. ben comes across to them as a liberal does to most of us.

its gotta be weird to try and aesthetically rebrand from 19 year old neocon political prodigy to 30 year old wisened neocon pundit.

it seems like the only move is to add tightly groomed stubble to polyurethane sealed 1950s disney haircut. i wonder if this was focus grouped to the evangelical, chik-fil-a franchise owner demographic to find the optimal boundaries and length of the faux beard to achieve maximum masculinity coding.

something that says, "i was a smart boy but i am a smart man now" to the 70+ year olds subscribed to this type of shit.

[–] axont@hexbear.net 20 points 6 days ago

I mean it's gotta be hard for someone like Shapiro, whose target audience was extremely elderly confused people who think college is gonna make their grandkids come home with a xenogender. And that was his target audience 15 years ago. Those types are either dead or they've moved on to actually explicit fascism, not the goofy respectable good-boy neocon fascism that Shapiro peddles.

The way he does his facial hair is weird, like he seems to make the effort to keep a consistent appearance but he does it in a way that looks more unkempt than people who are actually unkempt. He always looks like his doctor wife left him and he started drinking heavily about a week ago.

yeah, if i were him, i would have kept it clean shaven and rode the "frish's small boy wonder" identity as long as possible. his audience is fucking ancient and would eat up the consistency alongside the perceived connection to youth. the time for a turn to wise sage is when he might have frown lines and wrinkles and some salt + pepper.

whatever it is he's doing has this uncommitted vibe, like he's figuring himself out while sleeping on a couch for a few weeks. that's not a vibe that resonates with the core audience of relics. they like certainty, simplicity, and the impeccable grooming of someone selling door-to-door reverse mortgages.

[–] godlessworm@hexbear.net 35 points 6 days ago (2 children)

It's not that all his subscribers are fake or they stopped watching him cause his shit sucks. He's being silenced by big tech which is famously antisemitic and antagonistic toward right wingers. YouTube is communist. It's owned by "alphabet" aka literally LGBTQ. I don't use Google. I don't look anything up. If Ben Shapiro didn't tell me it, I don't need to know it.

[–] Thegods14@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 6 days ago

I actually got scared when I got to the end and realized this could also all be written unironically...

Yeah his numbers were always fluff but I think now either some revenue source dried up or maybe platforms figured out how to purge bots more efficiently. I also never believed he was actually one of the top podcasts for years somehow.

Furthermore the "wet ass p-word" thing made him into a joke among people who aren't politically interested. That's gonna be his actual legacy, saying wet ass p-word

[–] PKMKII@hexbear.net 21 points 6 days ago

Greatest self-own in history

[–] Le_Wokisme@hexbear.net 9 points 6 days ago

also he said his doctor wife doesn't get wet for him

[–] LeeeroooyJeeenkiiins@hexbear.net 20 points 6 days ago (3 children)

I feel like Ben Shapiro's Entire Thing was stolen by Charlie Kirk

[–] UmbraVivi@hexbear.net 22 points 6 days ago

Not really. The days of "facts & logic" and debate bros on the right are over, nowadays you just do the Hitler salute and scream slurs.

[–] CthulhusIntern@hexbear.net 22 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Damn, I wonder how Charlie Kirk is doing now?

[–] Jabril@hexbear.net 16 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Charlie Kirk's doing great

[–] Llituro@hexbear.net 18 points 6 days ago (1 children)

he hasn't been racist for such a long streak now

[–] Johnny_Arson@hexbear.net 12 points 6 days ago

Hasn't said anything racist*

[–] Leon_Grotsky@hexbear.net 10 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Aside from them competing for the young fascist userbase, their "things" are completely different.

Kirked-up-white-boy and TPUSA are doing fascist civil society stuff and political organizing, whereas Shabibo and Daily Wire are doing fascist propaganda production. (production in the "film producer" sense)

[–] SkingradGuard@hexbear.net 3 points 6 days ago

Yeah, the whole point was to create a generation and a half of fascist scumbags who think they're not fascists because the "left are the real fascists "

[–] Damarcusart@hexbear.net 14 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Do you think he's secretly kind of mad that someone went after Kirk and not him? I feel like he has a lot of feelings of inadequacy from that.

[–] fannin@hexbear.net 11 points 6 days ago

Kirk was a much bigger deal. The debatebro shit went out years ago, open nazism like Kirk advocated for is in.

[–] EveningCicada@hexbear.net 19 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (5 children)

seriously though did he always have those eyebrows as in the profile pic?

[–] corgiwithalaptop@hexbear.net 15 points 6 days ago (1 children)

kubrick-stare

He done did something to his brows

I was trying to scientifically determine if I could make his eyebrows larger here but went too big and made him a badass anime villain.

[–] NephewAlphaBravo@hexbear.net 15 points 6 days ago

Ben Shapiroth

[–] moss_icon@hexbear.net 7 points 6 days ago

Did he put minoxidil on his eyebrows?

I have seen this before and it still creeps me out. The top image in particular looks like someone took a clown face and copied it with skin tone and hair colored paints.

[–] CocteauChameleons@hexbear.net 5 points 6 days ago

There's medications that can cause body hair growth

[–] DasRav@hexbear.net 12 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

These numbers are still too high. I don't know how anyone stomachs watching this insufferable twerp.

[–] Johnny_Arson@hexbear.net 17 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Forgot this bozo even existed lmao

[–] mfed1122@discuss.tchncs.de 16 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (1 children)

Ngl I get him and Charlie Kirk mixed up a lot. Like I'll see Shapiro and be like "dang its crazy he's dead now. Oh wait"

[–] BarrelsBallot@lemmygrad.ml 16 points 6 days ago (1 children)

second video is proof that he never managed to innovate and grow out of "libs owned" compilation type videos

[–] jackmaoist@hexbear.net 14 points 6 days ago

Bro peaked in 2017 and stayed that way. Like his chudness is still a decade behind.

[–] DogThatWentGorp@hexbear.net 16 points 6 days ago

He looks absolutely washed just from the face too good lord LMAO

[–] Ananasova@hexbear.net 7 points 6 days ago

i keep forgetting that Shapiro and Kirk are two different guys and the former is still alive

[–] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 11 points 6 days ago
[–] Carl@hexbear.net 10 points 6 days ago

I wonder if he's got his retirement bag secured or if he's gonna be destitute once the daily wire money finally dries up

[–] Dr_Pepper@hexbear.net 9 points 6 days ago (1 children)
[–] ElChapoDeChapo@hexbear.net 10 points 6 days ago

Yet he's also past the age for twerp death

soviet-hmm

[–] microfiche@hexbear.net 8 points 6 days ago (1 children)

How long has been growing stubble? I wonder if there's a correlation.

[–] john_brown@hexbear.net 13 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I don't pay attention to him but I think it started around the time he went to Home Depot to buy two feet of pine board which he carried out in a plastic shopping bag, I guess he figured stubble would help him not look so much like an angry boy playing dress-up

[–] Leon_Grotsky@hexbear.net 18 points 6 days ago (1 children)

shapiro-poplar

Excuse you, it was a fine piece of poplar!

[–] microfiche@hexbear.net 5 points 6 days ago
