“When someone calls you a racist, sexist, bigot, homophobe because you happen to disagree with them about tax policy or same-sex marriage or abortion, that’s bullying. When someone slanders you because you happen to disagree with them about global warming or the government shutdown, that’s bullying. When someone labels you a bad human being because they disagree with you, they are bullying you. They are attacking your character without justification. That’s nasty. In fact, it makes them nasty.” 
― Ben Shapiro

“Nihilism, narcissism, and hedonism are natural results of the chaotic existential subjectivism popularized by the Left. If the hallmark of the baby boomers was rebellion, the hallmark of my generation is jadedness. Nothing really matters—we’re cosmically alone.” 
― Ben Shapiro

Leftist bully

These  attitudes have become so normalized that people are not even aware of their roots.

We live in a nasty time. People are ruled by their passions. They have forgotten God. They have no real physician. No real cure. Nothing.


If society doesn't change direction, and soon, it is going to destroy itself. I would like to think we are not yet past the point of no return.

I do have a passion for God and do go to church. I believe in my religion and what to do. I am just stating that what Ben Shapiro says is what I am in agreement with.

Leftist are Bullies

Not to mention Ben Shapiro is a devout believer in Judaism, so he still has his principals

They can be bullies, sure. It is any easy thing to even unintentionally become a bully when you are ruled by your passions. It doesn't help that socialism is in essence a revolutionary political ideology. That sort of thing tends to get people emotionally charged.

BEN SHAPIRO: This is one of the reasons why I am very meticulous in my terminology about people who are on the other side of the aisle. I actually separate the liberals and the leftists. 

People who try to ban speech -- I call them leftists. And if they are not interested in banning speech, I call them liberals. They want bigger government, they disagree with me about politics, they are willing to have a conversation in a public forum. 

People who are on the hard left think it is actually an insult to their identity if you disagree with them. And this is what I experience sometimes on campuses. At Cal State LA, where there was a near-riot when I spoke, University of Wisconsin where people stormed the stage... Penn State where we had another near violent incident... or DePaul [University] where they actually banned me outright. 

They conflate their viewpoint with their identity, and then if you have a differing viewpoint than you are 'denying them their humanity.' No, I'm not denying you your humanity, I just think what you said is dumb.

If Mad Dog Mattis ran for president, the sign would say Mad Dog 2020


It was a joke, because Mad Dog 2020 is like glow in the dark radioactive looking "wine" that is probably not very good for you.

the irony is I would probably be considered "liberal" in the old sense of the word, but since that no longer exists I'm conservative.  Though it does depend on the subject.
I do like Ben Sharpio and Dinesh D'Souza, oh and Jordan Peterson :)
