Ben Shapiro is autistic right ?

I don't think he's autistic, but he does remind me of a roommate I had once who was so tightly wound he always seemed on the verge of some kind of violent explosion. Same weird, shouty, rapid-fire speech style, so no one could get a thought or a word in edgewise etc. Roomie was also *very* wedded to his manufactured persona as Great Logical Thinker.

Nah, he's just retarded

Same thing r2. Ben has no empathy . It’s all about him being right always .

Ben Shapiro is simply one of many right wing influencers whose career is the result of a wealthy patron who said "Go out into the world and spread my message among the masses." In his case the patron thought he was hot looking and intense. I just see someone with no talent or charisma.

Go back to Kiwi farms.

His voice sounds robotic, like some out of a science fiction movie.

R1 Highly intelligent people are uncomfortable in this world, rightly. Say what you like about Ben but there is no denying he is intelligent and remains committed to that, despite the optics.

He is interesting to watch doing a Q&A with a college audience. He can be funny and usually kind when he could eviscerate people who say incredibly stupid things. He is also very intelligent and rational which gets on the nerves of a lot of people.

If he's so intelligent then why is he on the side of the fascists? Anyone with half a brain can see that these people want to ruin country and lower the standard of living as much as possible. They also refuse to do anything to limit climate change. Sounds like a stupid little bitch to me.

If he's so intelligent, why is he spending his life serving a political program based on rabid anti-semitism? Does he think the Right won't get to the Jews? That they'll just clear the country of the libs and the homos and immigrants and then they'll be satisfied and stop fulminating over imagined enemies?

Oh r9. You’re an idiot. You want to talk about fascism? Look at the current trans movement. You can’t even challenge those people and their hair-brained allies. Appeals to basic logic are lost on the psychotic transhumanists.

Wokeism = fascism. Only idiots can not see that both sides are driving us to an unpleasant future.

Just because you’re autistic, OP, doesn’t mean everyone is. He displays a lot of empathy all the time and is good at socializing/being respectful. You probably don’t watch a lot of videos of him to really make a judgement.

A lot of autistic incels on this thread .

Yeah talking about racism is the same as trying to overturn an election, r12. Why don't you go fart in a bathtub while the adults are talking.

Definitely an Aspie. Socially retarded.

He seems like somebody who excelled at high school debate and whose sensibility and personality never evolved beyond that. He's stuck at this adolescent motormouth stage where every conversation is something he has to "win." It's incredibly grating and obnoxious but his similarly arrested fans lap it up.

There are Democrats calling for Rittenhouse to be charged for federal crimes, blatantly illegal and something out of a Kafka novel.

Wouldn't have surprised me.

R8 This thread wreaks of fucking Trumpers. Like fish, you fucks don't belong on DL.

Labeling concerned parents as domestic threats, the DOJ and FBI gravely abusing their power against private citizens, changing pronouns, all of which are literally the definition of fascism.

For every manufactured or real mouth breather he owns, Ben has to kiss some grizzled ass as designated Precocious Jester.

He's aging into Mr. Bean.

R15 Who even used the word racism? The words you choose to use tell me you do not speak to many adults.

Ben is a midget too

Shapiro has the most punchable face.

Right, because someone who is on the right side of the culture wars uses the word "fish" to refer to women.

He’s annoying as shit

I don’t know about autistic, but he’s hot, and he’s becoming even more attractive to me lately.

@r7, "Highly intelligent people are uncomfortable in this world, rightly. Say what you like about Ben but there is no denying he is intelligent and remains committed to that, despite the optics. "

Oh, sure, a fucking genius this one...

Sexy stud Ben Shapiro can't get his wife "wet" and thinks that's a good thing...

He's 5'9" hardly a midget. He graduated UCLA magnum cum laude and Harvard Law School cum laude, hardly a mental midget.

R33 The lil homunculus gets the Trumper at R33 wetter than wet.

He sure seems shorter than 5'9". Maybe because he sounds like his balls never dropped.

R35 According to lore, the ball hair never came in either. He's a Gish-Galloping helium-huffing little objoxious prat.

With his ramblings about gay people, gay marriage, Non-Orthodox Jews, multiculturalism, etc. He's apparently QUITE tortured, as he suffers so many different phobias at once: Islamaphobe, Homophobe, Transphobe, and he's made despicable attacks on fellow Jews.

We don't need Orthodox zealots like him calling the rest of us "Jews in name only". Shapenis is just as meshuggah as Fundamental Christians. I get the sneaking suspicion he may be a closet case himself. "So deep in the closet, he's finding Hanukkah presents".

"He's 5'9" hardly a midget."

Hahahahahaha!

Jordan Peterson is 6' 1", you be the judge...

For those brave enough to argue how smart he is, he believes in and endorses Repairative Therapy. That's neither smart, nor scientific. No one on a gay forum should be endorsing or supporting Ben Shapiro.

He has some kind of brain damage. Whenever he speaks he has uncontrolled brain farts. You can see it on his fucking face. Harvard means absolutely nothing.

That photo with Jordan Peterson has to be 'shopped because that little Canuck seems petite himself in the bast majority of the photos I've ever seen of him.

So this is just another "he disagrees with me so he's stupid" vs "the certainty of his tone convinces me of the certainty of his opinions" thread but regarding this dude's intelligence I've heard him say more than once that he's a logical thinker, that he doesn't believe anything illogical etc. But he's religious! And not just slightly religious for the church friends but hardcore Orthodox religious.

This isn't a cheap shot at religious people, either. I personally know people who are religious AND intelligent.

But logic as the explanation for faith? No. You can be religious or you can claim to only believe things based on logic. You can't do both. Assuming, as a matter of course, that one's own belief in a thing automatically makes belief in that thing logical is actually a dumbass tell.

Shapenis has proven himself good with book learning, not so brilliant when it comes to critical thinking: he views the world only as Black or White. He's been brainwashed at his Orthodox Day School, and his Yeshiva High School. He's disagreeable and distespectful to many who dare debate him.

He doesn't even interpret the Torah properly or adequately according to even some Orthodox Rabbis. He's good at repeating things, shutting down debate, and being very angry with those who may disagree with his "One Truth" mindset. He calls those eho disagree stubborn, stupid, or misinformed.

As a Jew, the entire experience of Jews being excluded by many societies historically is completely lost on him when he fear mongers about immigrants, Feminists, Progressives, Atheists, Muslims, Gays, and Trans people. His picture ought to be featured under the definition of schmuck in every dictionary.

R7, R8, R11, R12 = One of Ben's paid for bitch boys is having a hissy.

He’s probably 5’4-5’5.

It's tiresome how he must remind everyone that his wife is a Doctor. He especially likes to throw this in when anything medical or health related comes up...as if his wife's credentials automatically extend to him through marriage.

^ Being a Orthodox Jew it kind of does, women are pretty subservient to their husbands

His personality is loathsome and grating, but I find him hot for reasons I cannot explain.

Not that facts matter to many of you on this thread, but he's 5'9". Many of you face the facts mentioned on this thread with adolescent name calling which suggests your IQ is low. No wonder Ben annoys you.

Where did he come from?

R47 I suppose I see your point. He probably feels he owns his wife, so he owns her medical degree sort of like a free gift with purchase.

R49 A big Oy Vey! to you pal. I'm certain he calls us names. If you're gay, he wouldn't approve of you regardless of your defending him here. He can't even allow himself to be a guest in a gay man's home... just ask Dave Rubin.

There are lots of media people who are an old person's idea of what a young person should be like. Ben is one. Milky Loads *was another. Bari Weiss, too.

They get exalted platforms while being paper-thin thinkers because it excites rich old Republicans to have their own ideas parroted back to them by young people.

I saw him in person in Westwood, he’s shorter than short

R52, Ben gets auditoriums filled with college students wherever he is allowed to speak. So, I don't know what you're talking about when you refer to old republicans. I think people listen to him and Bari, not necessarily agree with them, because they are the opposite of paper-thin thinkers.

I don't care, I think he's hawt. I like short mouthy Jews.

R51, I work in a Jewish institution and work with many Orthodox Jews who know I'm gay. I've always been treated with respect and fairly. I know I will never be invited to their house nor will they come to mine. I used to work with Jehovah Witnesses. They would never invite to me to lunch because I wasn't a JH.

I don't need people's approval. They can have their beliefs and I can have mine. They can have their world and I can have mine. I saw that interview with Dave Rubin, btw. They are still friends and respect each other. They've done a few more interviews since.

- R49

Rubin has no self respect

Dave Rubin definitely comes across as self-loathing. Much like Andy Cohen. Just not happy being gay. Not thrilled about it.

Anderson Cooper too ^.

R58, Dave is proudly out, married, and has quite a full, successful life. Where's the self-loathing?

Just because one is out doesn’t mean they’re happy about being gay. Like Andy Cohen and Anderson Cooper. None of them are thrilled with being gay.

R61, the new DL arbiter of Thrilled Gayness.

Huh.

He’s certainly repetitive enough to be autistic

He’s squirrely

Would an autistic man have a wife that never has a WAP? I think not!
