Reading those comments, it's startling how people basically argue "but I like Ben Shapiro and so do others so he must be good right?".

No, everything the man says is biased and purposefully leaves details out in order to skew conclusions. Those unaware of the data left, out cannot possibly know that it was left out. Yet people will desire a conclusion, at the moment of listening. Desperation through poverty will do that to people. Not limited to finances.

I speak in an absolute, because why the fuck not.

This is what Plato meant when asking "do we have free will?".

How can one's will be free, if you make decisions based on incomplete facts? Not only that, but incomplete by design, the designer have done so with premeditated intent, for the express purpose of steering the reaction of those listening.

And once you've become convinced, you're unwilling to go back. It made sense once... and that feeling sticks.
