So he keeps a list of the "dumb stuff" he has said... and yet continues to make disingenuous and provocative statements to rile people up and then make a big show of people getting riled up. There are conservative commentators, writers, and philosophers who offer genuine dialogue and substance. Yet, Ben Shapiro is lauded by the right as a thought leader for inciting outrage, and profiting from outrage. It seems to me that the problem is that we hear mostly from vacuous outrage inciters. The irony of Ben Shapiro is that he deliberately provokes emotional reactions, and then with a straight face claims that he reveres facts above all else. Spare me the bullshit.
