One could almost feel bad for Shapiro, if he wasn’t such a slimy little irredeemable asshole.

I’m sure the “facts don’t care about your feelings” snowflake will retreat to the safe space of his podcast to whine about the lack of civility like the entitled, petulant child he is.

As the proud dad of a trans man I couldn’t love this more! Shapiro got his ass handed to him and this made me stand up and cheer.

The look of immediate shock on his face was delicious.

It would seem that someone DESTROYED!!!* kapo Ben in a debate.
[* His YouTube fans love to use that term to describe the pipsqueak’s Gish galloping “victories”.]

Here’s the entire event. The exchange starts at 35:08.
I don’t like the framing of him being some kind of genius chess grandmaster who can play against a bunch of people in one session, but I did like the outcome.

Ooh, this means I get to post this again:
(I know I’m just repeatedly regurgitating a canned response to this, but:
a-It’s funny
b- he doesn’t deserve any more thought dedicated to his weaselly little antics.
c- this is exactly what he does, so it’s metahumour of something.)

I love that he gish-galloped all over him, then confronted him with the fact that this is exactly what he does every day.
“I come not to debate Shapiro, but to bury him.”

It’s not a Gish Gallop if the person presenting the arguments is taking care to be accurate and factual, as the man arguing against Shapiro did. The Gallop isn’t just presenting a lot of arguments rapidly, but making them generally inaccurate or weak.

That was extremely powerful from the trans guy. He spoke with eloquent passion and never ran out of words.

Yet I’m still reminding my trans college student to complete their passport renewal NOW!! I don’t want to live in this time any longer. I’m scared for my child.
