Never has someone misused a word as badly as Ben Shapiro misuses the word #intersectionality as he critiques it. He honesty thinks it means everyone in their identity silos, fighting over who's more oppressed, which is precisely the OPPOSITE of what it means.

here's his latest example of pedantry which passes for intellect on the right...maybe its the high pitched pre-teen squeal...it somehow short-circuits people's brains and makes them think this is intelligent

it's literally around 600 words of nonsense, which Newsweek felt compelled to print bc they don't want to seem liberal or something...this isn't remotely deep conservatism

believing that Trump's speech was more inspiring than Abrams's requires either a lot of drugs (which Ben doesn't do) or an even healthier dose of self-delusion (which he indulges like a fiend)

Ben thinks he's in a position to tell marginalized people (whose marginalization historically he acknowledges) when it's time 2 give up the fight & declare victory. Because that's not arrogant and racist at all. Oh, and I'm sure he'd like to be told the same about Jews right Ben?
