Thoughts on Ben Shapiro?

I first heard of him after listening to a Joe Rogan podcast, I throughly enjoyed it and whilst disagreed with some things he had to say I actually thought he was worth listening to. After following him twitter he seems to twist things to suit his own narrative regardless of whether it's accurate or not. I'm from the UK by the way, hence why I wasn't so familiar with him.

I like Ben. I think he's an interesting guy with interesting viewpoints. Definitely makes Conservatism more appealing for a younger demographic.

@5thApprentice he seems a decent guys and I get the feeling he truly believes in what he says. I don't agree with a lot of it mind.

However, I feel its wrong that he gets shut down at some schools just because of his political stance.

I think we should challenge ourselves with opposing views.

@SW-User
I couldn't agree more with people trying to block people from speaking at universities.

What I fear is people are just creating echo chambers for themselves and an intellectual prison from which they're their own warden.

If you're only response to something you don't like is to shut it down or silence it instead of addressing the idea...what kind of society will we live in? Scary.
