I never paid a lot of attention to Ben Shapiro before, but what he says is so transparently asinine it boggles the senses. You really have to have a Fox-addled mind to believe that the search for the submersible was completely faked and that the powers-that-be knew the entire time that it had imploded. To believe that a vast conspiracy among hundreds, thousands (?) of people from several countries and spanning several days was orchestrated to lie to the public in order to…..uh, achieve what exactly? “Undermine institutional credibility”? What does that even mean?
This is “the moon landing was faked” levels of conspiracy theory.
Ol Ben sets himself up as an intellectual for the right. He got promoted up with his connections with PragerU. Talks like he is the smartest one in the room. Though his arguments are full of logical fallacies. He is up there with Joe Rogan and the ilk destroying rational though in America.
@xuu Oh wow I didn’t know he was associated with PragerU. I’ve listened to a few episodes of The Audit podcast, where they basically shred PragerU content, and it’s hilarious and terrifying.
@abucci@anthony.buc.ci watched some PragerU on YouTube once. the amazing thing about them is that they can actually draw you in by sounding reasonable at first and by the time it gets insidious you won’t even notice.
@shreyan@twtxt.net If that’s your reaction to PragerU, then do I have a podcast for you! https://www.stitcher.com/show/the-audit
