Big talk from Ben "my wife is dry" Shapiro

And he shamelessly admits that the end goal is state managed slave labour...

[–] Bleys@lemmy.world 129 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Threatening a foreign citizen (and former PM no less) with

  1. Invasion of his home country
  2. Expelling him from that country
  3. Forcing him into manual labor in another country (which also is currently independent)

That is insane, even as a joke.

[–] garbagebagel@lemmy.world 46 points 3 months ago (1 children)

As someone else pointed out, Trudeau was the PM at the time of the post so I'd say even more insane.

I didn't expect that from Shapiro. I have plenty of criticisms of Shapiro but I did not expect him to threaten the former head of a foreign, Democratic Government, a long time ally. Is this real?

[–] cheerytext1981@lemmy.ca 107 points 3 months ago

At the time, that was the current head of a foreign, Democratic government!

[–] ninthant@lemmy.ca 86 points 3 months ago

Reset your expectations.

Not only is this real, he also went on to say that the threat was only valid if PP didn’t win. This is public record and you can verify with a web search on multiple media outlets.

This is who Danielle Smith pals around with at taxpayer expense.

[–] jaemo@sh.itjust.works 30 points 3 months ago

Sorry but isn't this the inevitable result of the words and ideals he and other conservative flatulence mouthpieces keep off-gassing? Don't words mean things, and don't those things imply concrete action or intent? Maybe we should have been hearing the intent.

Personally, I am Jack's complete lack of surprise.

The guy whose video 'the myth of the moderate muslim' resulted in the largest terrorist attack in Canadian history?

Civil world war!!!! People with souls vs everyone else.

[–] forrgott@lemm.ee 38 points 3 months ago (4 children)

Ever read anything by Terry Brooks? He had a series of modern fantasy books where the world is basically ending, demons walk amongst us, that kinda thing. Anyway, servants of the void who "sold their soul" were known as Once-Men. As in they were human once, but not anymore. I always found that rather fitting...

I don't know how to not say this offensively but he's a jew and would be one of the first to be expelled under fascism lol

[–] FourWaveforms@lemm.ee 19 points 3 months ago (1 children)

The Jews aren't the Boogeyman of the current palingenetic fantasy, so they'll be largely left alone (unless they protest Israel.)

I wonder what the US will do with their Russian shills after this trump nonsense is over. I mean, at some point you gotta recognize traitors that are trying to destroy your country by lying to everyone, or in the case of this turd, yell over everyone with their lies

He's wild for that. Never thought I'd see Ben Shapiro go that far. What a nut.

There are genuinely intellectual conservatives but the oligarchic media intentionally prop up pseudointellectuals to further dumb down the population. And I guess it is working.

[–] ameancow@lemmy.world 16 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (2 children)

Let us all remember that when the Soviet Union fell, they did not end the Cold War, they just changed tactics.

It's well known that their most effective tactic for destabilizing a nation is to pour resources into boosting both sides of every debate or social issue, this poisons the well so nobody knows what's real and just defaults to whatever the controlling party says is real. It's an astoundingly effective tactic for killing the spread of news and information that people could use to organize, and sowing infighting and distrust between potential oppositional groups.

They are doing a very similar tactic right now, by boosting absurdism like the whole narrative of an "armed takeover of Canada" as if that's even possibly a thing. Casual browsers know somewhere in the back of their mind that it's absurdism, but they hang on every word because it's sensational.

This is WWE theater. Like the whole administration since the beginning, it's designed to spin stories to keep dumb fucks engaged and wondering what's going to happen next, simultaneously believing in the stories but also knowing logically it's not true. Literally the same cognitive dissonance that made us have to argue with our friends back in the 90's that no, the World Wrestling Federation is NOT employing actual necromancers, that no, it's not a real sport, no the performers would not be allowed to bring swords and weapons into the ring if it was real.

USA has no actual intention of taking over countries like Canada and Panama, they just want to make some huge distraction and sensational story, so that when they change interest rates or deregulate some banking laws, nobody will notice. We'll all be here arguing with each other if it's even possible for the USA to "take over" a neighboring nation, with the same earnestness that we used to explain that using a steel chair in a sporting event could be considered disqualifying in normal circumstances.

This isn't to say the rhetoric isn't dangerous, but what they're doing financially is going to be far more damaging to our actual future in America.

It's very clear that the only thing Ben knows about Panama is that it has a canal.
