What did you think of the article?


Cherry-picked a handful of times Shapiro was hyperbolic or incorrect and ignored the 95% of the time his arguments were spot on. You can do this type of piece with literally anyone who has thousands of hours of content to dissect.


That wasn't really the main point of his article
His article wasn't about combatting Shapiro arguments. It was about showing that claims saying Shapiro is some intellectual that's different than others is not true. He's not as rational and fact driven as he claims and specifically talks about the tactics.


You mean in the handful of points mentioned out of the literal tens of thousands that Shapiro has made.

The article doesn't even pretend it's being an objective criticism; it's an emotional hit piece written by a guy who's just as smug as Shapiro. This is literally the first line:

Its easy to laugh, as some of us do, at the phrase conservative intellectual.
