Britain's conservatives are more left leaning than America's conservatives.

Not really competent. When the only thing you have is to bring up old tweets instead of discussing current viewpoints, you have a malicious agenda.

@docrakidocraki8067 Then let's hold accountable everyone for saying evil shit 7 years ago. Am sure they don't evolve, and should be arrested for some statements.

Well Ben is correct so deal with it

@ian12346 I bet you can't clarify how he got destroyed and are just jumping on the leftist bandwagon. The journalist brought up old tweets, and said his views are archaic while pretending to be neutral.

Ben actually DESTROYED the journalist by calling out his "I'm neutral" hypocrisy. "I'm gonna call your abortion views archaic, but don't worry, I'm a neutral journalist." Ben: "Uh, dude you're not neutral." Journalist: "Uhm...whatever. Let's move from that and talk about this seven year-old tweet. By the way, this old tweet conflicts with your religious codes. Ha! Got him!"

@IsthisMike The contradictions are stupid considering he's trying so hard digging up ancient seven year-old tweets. The idiot journalist is just playing the "you're not perfect" game.

@irtazaazam2573 He apologized for some of the tweets. The journo could have asked him his current views, but he automatically assumed Ben's old tweet is still held today.
2
@irtazaazam2573 So the whole interview was just an apology tour and not an interview about present matters? The journo angered Ben by using his old tweets and say, "This old tweet violates your religious codes." I mean, is the interviewer looking for perfectionism. That to me shows how ridiculous his questionings are.
2
So bringing up old shits just to say they're imperfect is heavyweight journalism? Discrediting Ben's views as taking us to the stone ages while proclaiming to be neutral is heavyweight journalism?
2
@ian12346 Then let's hold all people accountable for shit they said seven years ago. Accountability shouldn't be just for people you hate.
2
@IsthisMike I did. The old tweets were irrelevant and nitpicky. The old fool didn't read the book (only the title). What I got from the interview was that you're suppose to be perfect to criticize today's political climate.

@johnpliskin8759 i didn't say that

When the only thing haters do is bring up your old tweets, it's a sign they're weak and desperate.

@lordoftheflies7024 Rights aren't things that are created just because the public wants something badly. You're not entitled to one's services just because you sat there and viewed it as a right. Nothing common sense about a comical political doctrine whose clapping seals are trained to embrace government babysitting.

If I asked you about the evil shit you did 10 years ago, and use that to smear your image, what can you say? Am sure you'd conclude it's a waste of time and walk off.

@hattix7233 Except it's a rather desperate attempt of highlighting hypocrisy. The journo has not read the book, but act like he did. He only read the title and used that to play his "gotcha" game. Ben said that if the journo has found something in the book, he'd be happy to answer, but found none cuz the journo hasn't read it. If Ben wrote on his book, "Today's political climate is toxic. I'm glad I never had any toxicity in my past," then it makes a lot of sense for the journo to bring up his past. But the journo going back seven or more years to dig up a tweet (and assuming Ben still holds those beliefs) just to tarnish the book's title shows how desperate the journo is. What I got from the interview is that "since you (Ben) aren't perfect, and said some questionable things in the past, you can't criticize today's political climate."
1
@irtazaazam2573 Well he did a couple times said, "I'll answer your question if you answer mine." Ben called out the "neutral" journo for mocking Ben's views as archaic, but the journo switched topic when he knew he couldn't argue he's neutral while calling Ben's views archaic. Then after that, it's just the journo putting Ben in a defensive mode by bringing up old tweet after old tweet. These short interview formats are terrible for both sides.
1
@hattix7233 "So I actually think it's pretty hypocritical of Shapiro to write that kinda book with no self-examination or awareness, kinda leaving yourself open to criticism." Is he out there saying he's perfect? What self-examination must he do, and what is the hypocrisy? Is Ben responsible for how random people title their videos with his name?
1
@gleekthemonkey4570 "Basic ass questions." You're oversimplifying the matter. The dude was digging up old tweets just to claim that Ben is not perfect enough to complain about today's political climate. And tries to frame Ben as the cause of today's political toxicity. What angered Ben was when the old idiot saying how the very old tweets contradicts his religious codes, which is a stupid thing to say.
1
@hattix7233 What is that standard, and what current practice of his violates that standard?
1
@hattix7233 It was about toxicity and violence in politics. And I fail to see how Ben's current state of mind is hypocritical. Just because Ben fucked up, it doesn't mean the biased journo is without faults. When fools had to dig up old shits, it shows their desperation.
1
@irtazaazam2573 If one is angered by another's politics and seek to cause harm instead of a discussion, then people like that person are the problem. Ben has a valid point that mostly the left (with the mainstream news mostly majority left and leftist corporations censoring the right) are causing havoc. Acting like an animal because you're upset at one's politics is inexcusable.
1
@gleekthemonkey4570 He hates guns.
1
@gleekthemonkey4570 No one said they were. Just these clowns who say he's conservative. He hates guns and pro choice, so he's a moderate. British right are more centrist than American right.
1
@gleekthemonkey4570 Ben seeked to cause harm? Really?
1
@gleekthemonkey4570 Okay, fine. I expected more from Ben, but he was disappointing. Let's hope he's at his best next time. But the journo, I hate his dirty ass. Sometimes your response doesn't show up on my notification. Someone mentioned me, so I came here and just noticed your response.
1
@ian12346 He did not at all. Ben gave clarifications to his tweets, and apologized for some of them. He can't clarify fully in that short time frame. The journalist was moving the goal post further by bringing up more and more older tweets. Then he moved on and try to discredit Ben's new book title by bringing up some more old tweets. The Journalist knows he'd get his ass kicked on current topics, so he played dirty.
