The topic being discussed is a book he wrote...you're saying he's not knowledgeable about the subject of the book he wrote?

Correct. I havent read his book, but his thesis is basically morality is fading in America because people no longer use religion as their moral compass. Its a ridiculous claim and he would have had to skew facts to make them convenient for them to support his argument.

Also the guy that wrote the VOX article actually has a PhD in philosophy and political science, so I think that helped.

Ben Shapiro: Fascism is essentially an outgrowth of a European Enlightenment that decided to sever the bonds between certain Judeo-Christian principles and reason and then reason went off into a murderous direction.

shut the fuck up ben shapiro.

I'm always thrown for a loop by "Judeo-Christian". As if Jews were allowed to participate in European society on an equal basis and not viciously persecuted and often straight-up exiled or murdered by the Christian kingdoms. But, of course, I know why people like Shapiro have invented the term.

Yeah wtf is up with that. Jews didn't share the same values as Christians at all, there's a reason why antisemitism existed in Europe.

Yeah, that's 100% the point: the actual term would be "Abrahamic", but that's a bit too inclusive for him. And, of course, the only medieval societies that were even remotely pluralistic were the Islamic ones(not to say they were great, but they were better).

Notice he used Judeo-Christian instead of Abrahamic, because that would also include Islam and Ben doesn't want them in part of his argument.
