...[Megyn] Kelly moved on to a another quote from the piece that posits a society where people were paid for doing only what they were passionate about, like painting murals. When Kelly asked who would pay the millennials for painting their murals, Shapiro turned the conversation to the inherently destructive philosophy of Keynes.The Mexicans clean toilets, millenials paint murals, and Shapiro yammers on Fox News. Maybe Shapiro will explain how he would redistribute these responsibilities in Part 2. I'm guessing Shapiro won't wind up wielding a brush of any kind.
Shapiro: This is the whole thing, passing the buck to the next generation that doesn’t exist yet. And John Maynard Keynes was fond of saying that in the long run we’re all dead. This is that philosophy taken to the extreme: In the short run we’re all dead, so we might as well all paint murals. Who’s going to clean the toilets? Who’s going to do the actual work that needs to be done in this country? Maybe this is why some of these folks want open borders.
Rule of three demands:
Vogue Mag Lowers StandardsNo clue whether, before he wrote this, the author saw the recent Acculturated essay called "Why Conservatives Should Cheer On HBO’s Girls" (short vs.: The characters are dissatisfied with their lives and since they're liberals the reason must be liberalism). Despite her untraditional body type, I would bet that since the 2012 election Dunham has gotten enough hate-wanks out of conservative men to float a National Review cruise out of drydock.
‘Girls’ star Lena Dunham to feature on cover despite untraditional body type
UPDATE. In comments, Big_Bad_Bald_Bastard:
Leaving aside the fact that one's body type is a matter of biology, not tradition, a perusal of the large "History of Art" textbook on the shelf reveals more depictions of women who are built like Lena Dunham than like Kate Moss. A quick stroll through the neighborhood finds me encountering more women who are built like Lena Dunham than like Stephanie Seymour. If I didn't know any better, I'd swear that Mr Shapiro has never seen a female body up close.
Such wunnerful commentz over at Truly Revolting too.
ReplyDeleteDunham seems to have hurt the menz in some special essential fluid way. I like how they get all pissy about not being allowed to say exactly what they are actually saying.
What kind of conservative wank isn't a hate-wank?
ReplyDeleteSo I poke on over to Truth Revolt (one word is true, at least as an adjective) and found their obligatory 'knockout game' post from a week ago. Actually, it's a piece about a Charlottesville paper having to close the comments on a story about a black-on-white assault "due to the hateful nature of the comments". Sun rises in east, dog bites man, etc.
ReplyDeleteThe Truth Revolt post has 3,546 comments. Probably more by now. Y'all can imagine what most of them are like.
Maybe Shapiro would feel better if we reminded him that he who fucks nuns will later join the church.
ReplyDeleteUntraditional body type? What, does she have three tits or something?
ReplyDeleteMy god, can you imagine these fuckers in 2017, after another Dem president takes office?
"I would bet that since the 2012 election Dunham has gotten enough hate-wanks out of conservative men to float a National Review cruise out of drydock."
ReplyDeleteSo that's an image that's gonna linger.
... or a lady president
ReplyDeleteWait, Shapiro has another site? Isn't this like his third or fourth? Why? To what end are they doing this? It's twenty-fucking-fourteen, are we really not past the age of "I'll start a blog and then you'll be sorry"? Yeah, I realize that these little web sinecures are dirt cheap, especially when you consider that the staff that does all the work is probably getting well under minimum wage, but I don't even see where the return lies. Another place where deluded right-wing shut-ins can vent their racism? Stellar, pencil it in at the bottom of page four.
ReplyDeleteWhat amazes me at this point isn't even the durability of wingnut welfare. Yes, Ben Shapiro has been supported his entire adult life by an anti-meritocratic system based on loyalty and background, but he's a Harvard grad - that was bound to happen anyway. What amazes me is the lack of creativity at play. You assholes can't think of anything better to do with the money than give a repeat loser his Nth shot at success? I know nil-budget indie film guys who could make about five movies on what these idiots are shoveling at Shapiro. I know artists who could fill several halls with those resources, and Ben Shapiro would no doubt complain about it and then get an astounding amount of money for it.
I'm sorry, I'm just very tired. Trying to put together a query letter which I haven't even attempted to do in years, while also begging every business in the area for the right to do their shittiest job and being continually rejected...Bringing up Shapiro's latest doomed-to-obscurity project wasn't going to fill my heart with light and love. I'll be back once my head's in one piece again.
And John Maynard Keynes was fond of saying that in the long run we’re all dead.
ReplyDeleteRight Ben. He was so fond of it that he wrote it ONCE, and you have not a clue what he meant by it.
I think by 'untraditional body type' Shapiro means 'has a vagina.'
ReplyDelete"Now, our fact-based, hard-hitting news site will run a gushing puff piece on what the site owner said on TV. Yes, we still think the president has a cult of personality. Why do you ask?"
ReplyDeleteWho’s going to clean the toilets? Who’s going to do the actual work that needs to be done in this country?
ReplyDeleteAnswer: not me, suckers!
Jon Stewart returns to mock nuns
ReplyDeleteI'm picturing Ben Shapiro watching the Castle Anthrax scene in Holy Grail and just storming out in a fit of rage.
Who’s going to clean the toilets? Who’s going to do the actual work that needs to be done in this country?
ReplyDeleteUh, I'm guessing it would be the same people who do all the work now - you know, the folks you refer to as "looters" and "moochers" as you pen your 3,573rd essay about how all the people who aren't being paid enough to buy groceries should be kicked off food stamps.
Yeah, it's not just that certain wingnut wunderkinds have access to seemingly infinite get-out-of-fuckup-free cards, it's that the guys who have those cards are so singularly uninspiring, even by wingnut standards. I don't think they really believe that, say, Ben Shapiro, Jeff Goldstein, Michelle Malkin, and Megan McArdle are going to be their four horsemen* who crush the liberals? I mean, really? It's more an attempt to prove that talent and craft are for liberals, and all you really should need to succeed and remake the world is the proper amount of true conservative mojo. Given how wrapped up their identities are in having a 'conservative version' of everything, I predict they'll bang their heads against this particular wall for all eternity.
ReplyDelete*-Personally, I'd assign them (in order) famine, pestilence, war, and death (of the soul) but reasonable people can disagree.
I can't imagine that these people have actually watched Girls at all. It's not exactly a feminist tract, unless you define "feminism" down to "women have interests and value beyond providing warm cavities and servitude to men".
ReplyDeletePROBLEM: Nobody wants to scrub toilets.
ReplyDeleteSOLUTION: Fight to keep toilet-scrubbing jobs at poverty-level wages with no health benefits.
Shapiro Logic!
You have to be trying to be ignorant enough to think that Keynes' whole plan was "spend a shitton of money, because eh fuck it, I won't be around to see the bill." If anything, that seems to be a succinct description of Reaganomics.
ReplyDeleteThe downside is that they had to cut the Two Minutes Hate down to Fifteen to Thirty Seconds Hate.
ReplyDeleteIf we're looking at metaphor I think McCardle could be famine because she's always cooking but never sated.
ReplyDeleteAnd more to the point there's a brain-sucker on her head and it's starving.
I'd be interested to see the conservative version of Girls, if only because I want to find out if they can manage to make it even more whitewashed.
ReplyDeleteDunham has gotten enough hate-wanks out of conservative men to float a National Review cruise out of drydock.
ReplyDeleteCome for the snark. Stay for the truly disgustingly vivid imagery.
I believe it's called "Fox and Friends".
ReplyDeleteNRO cruisers won't want to go to bed early Thursday night as we make for Cozumel! Victor Davis Hanson will be sculpting a realistic image of Lena Dunham from a seven foot block of ice with his replacement chainsaw..
ReplyDeleteCan he get 'er done before we make landfall?
Grab your pina coladas and find out! 10:30 PM, the Priapus Lounge.
Normally I don't get out of the boat, but I had to find out what it was that Jon Stewart said that was so mocking of nuns. It was worse than you might have feared:
ReplyDeleteJust because someone works for you doesn't mean you get to control their personal lives.
The temerity! The Jew dares to imply that employers != owners.
Who’s going to clean the toilets? Who’s going to do the actual work that needs to be done in this country?
ReplyDeleteI would go for "people who are paid a decent wage", but this may be one of those rhetorical question things where Shapiro does not actually want an snswer.
Jon Stewart returns to mock nuns
ReplyDeleteThe implication here is that he has tried mock nuns, and then tried the real ones, only to decide that he preferred the imitators. Very Baudrillardian of him but I don't see the problem.
Once you go wimple
It's always so simple.
Wait, Shapiro has another site? Isn't this like his third or fourth?
ReplyDeleteSome people write for blogs, sustained by the blissful illusion that their words will linger on for eternity.
Others contribute only upon the assurance that the words they string together today will be erased from the Bloggosphere when the the site is closed of in six months time, and will not linger around to haunt their careers.
Good news, citizens! The duration of the Two-Minute Hate has been increased to 25 minutes per session!
ReplyDeleteWords like "Seelentod" are why I like German.
ReplyDeleteI'm guessing Shapiro won't wind up wielding a brush of any kind.
ReplyDelete1. Whitewashing.
2. Distemper.
Trying to put together a query letter which I haven't even attempted to do in years . . .
ReplyDeleteGood luck, Johnston! It's hard out here for us writers. Sadly, there are thousands upon thousands of people willing to write for exposure, which makes what we pros do worth a lot less.
I thought cleaning toilets, like teaching, or any unionized job wasnt really valuable work at sll as far as these guys were concerned.
ReplyDeleteReaganonlics, like conservative/Republican economic policy in general, isn't really economic policy at all. It is simply unbridled greed and distain for the working class masquerading as policy.
ReplyDeleteThat's why the answer is always tax cuts for the rich, and also why skyrocketing deficits don't matter unless there's a Democrat in the White House.
I once dated a nun, but I had to break it off when she started getting serious. She could never be more than a sister to me.
ReplyDeleteTry the veal! And tip your waitress.
Yes, Girls must be some sort of anti-liberalism show because the characters are unsatisfied with their lives. Just as the Cascade dish-soap commercial is also anti-liberalism because the housewife depicted is at once dissatisfied with her current dishwashing detergent AND she's happy being relegated to the role of housewife. (Now, marvel as I read entire novels into her background, origins, motivations, and secret pleasures all based on a 30-second spot.)
ReplyDeleteWell, if they get too successful they're either assassinated like Breitbart or made to pay Obamacare penalties like Matt Drudge. Being reliably superfluous is Shapiro's desperate bid for survival.
ReplyDeleteA lady president whose lady parts have known the Clenis.
ReplyDeleteIf it last longer than 4 hours, call the doctor.
ReplyDeleteYes, I've noticed one right-wing racist troll in particular playing dumb on DNAInfo and then expressing his real feelings over there.
ReplyDeleteBen Shapiro looks a lot like Pajama Boy if Pajama Boy's mother's made him wear a tie. I must ponder this unexpected universality of visual persona, probably by starting a well-subsidized blog.
ReplyDeleteNow, now, let's be fair... my sources tell me that the one shining spot (or "blot") on Shapiro's law school transcript was Construction Of Strawman Arguments, 101. As in:
ReplyDelete"Translation: Churches must do everything the government dictates, even if that means violating their religious beliefs."
This Frontline episode last night about Lil' Stevie Cohen, like the articles daily in the Business Section of any genuine newspaper, make the moral case for capitalism every single fucking day, Ben. And it don't look too good, legally speaking, which even law-degreed twerps like you should know.
ReplyDeleteShapiro's rants are always simple-minded dreck, but for obvious reasons this bit has my favorite sentence: This is a group of people who graduated with degrees in Lesbian Dance Theory and then were surprised they didn’t get six-figure paycheck out of college... Unfortunately they were getting a paycheck consummate with their education level.
From "the moral case for capitalism": This is a group of people who graduated with degrees in Lesbian Dance Theory and then were surprised they didn't get six-figure paycheck out of college.
ReplyDeleteAugh, fucking no, you spoonfed beaver-looking jerkoff. Nobody with an obscure liberal arts degree goes into it thinking they're going to get rich from it. I know people with classics degrees, history degrees, MFAs, philosophy degrees, all the usual "HEH UNDERWATER BASKETWEAVING (snort, shirt tuck)" boogiemen, and not a one of them is demanding a $100,000 sinecure just for showing up. Then again, maybe they don't have this massive sense of entitlement you assume they have because unlike you, they weren't groomed from their teens to think they're hot shit on a shingle because they can whine about unfair professors and gross sexy ladies.
Shapiro wants to be the next Andrew Breitbart, presiding over his own lucrative Empire of Bullshit. (Look Mom, I'm being interviewed by Megyn Kelly!) Unfortunately, he's only got the whine and the ambition, without any of the Barnum-like showmanship. And if he doesn't watch himself, one day he's gonna get caught shilling Trevino-style for some proxy group for the Ukrainian government. Oh wait, that kind of already happened.
ReplyDelete‘Girls’ star Lena Dunham to feature on cover despite untraditional body type
ReplyDeleteLeaving aside the fact that one's body type is a matter of biology, not tradition, a perusal of the large "History of Art" textbook on the shelf reveals more depictions of women who are built like Lena Dunham than like Kate Moss. A quick stroll through the neighborhood finds me encountering more women who are built like Lena Dunham than like Stephanie Seymour. If I didn't know any better, I'd swear that Mr Shapiro has never seen a female body up close.
As an aside, I'll note that most of Vogue's purchasers are women, Lena Dunham is popular with women, and people tend to buy magazines with familiar individuals on the cover. Why does Ben hate the Free Market?
Nobody with an obscure liberal arts degree goes into it thinking they're going to get rich from it.
ReplyDeleteI'd beg to differ- at the university I attended, Women's Studies 303 was a seminar titled Get Rich or Die Trying.
Followed at midnight by Jonah Goldberg performing an interpretive dance of Amal and the Night Visitors while clad only in breech-cloth and Cheeto dust.

ReplyDelete"untraditional body type"="doesn't look like mom"
ReplyDeleteAfter writing that--and reading Roy's hate-fap line--I had to poke my mind's eye out.
ReplyDeleteBen doesn't hate the free market; he's just wearing ideological blinders that keep him from seeing it. Remember ol' Adam Smith's invisible hand? What he wrote was that the 'invisible hand' of the market provides information on what products are worth, as determined by what people will pay for them. For example, we can look at last weekend's box office and determine that people like animated snowmen, ghosts, dwarves & dragons, Leonardo DiCaprio, a 70's caper flick, and that Anchorman movie. That's everything that took in more than ten million.
ReplyDeleteThe invisible hand won't tell us if any of those movies were any good. My personal opinion is that at least two of them are unwatchable. Mr. Shapiro wants the moral-free invisible hand to confirm his conservative biases--no, really: go check out some of his writing about how Hollywierd won't give any conservative scripts a fair shake. It wouldn't have anything to do with the fact that any conservative-sanctioned story is leaden, dull, and telegraphs the ending (evil vanquished, good triumphant, chaste kiss delivered, gender norms confirmed) from the goddamned poster, would it?
THE FUTURE OF COMEDY IS DERELICT. I LAUGHED, I CRIED, I KISSED A TWO-DRINK MINIMUM GOODBYE
ReplyDelete--god
Just because someone works for you doesn't mean you get to control their personal lives.
ReplyDeleteAs busybody Republicans' (like Shapiro) heads start to explode.
Now, I'm thinking the pina colada is actually the worst drink to bring to this sort of event, given its color, opacity, and texture. No, this calls for gin, straight up: it's clear, so you can tell if something lands in it, and eighty proof alcohol ensures it's sterile.
ReplyDeleteOn second thought, waiter, just leave the whole bottle. I'll just keep my thumb over the top. It'll be empty soon anyway.
Post hate wank, omnie wingnut tristes est
ReplyDeleteI think I actually read that as a fake victorian porn novelette.
ReplyDeleteAnd I think Breitbart was actually "successful," at least financially, before he became a byword. I always thought he was living proof that to make a million dollars you had to first take two million... He started out having connections and money, not as a third string content provider who could easily be replaced by another hormonal, argumentative, right wing teen prodigy.
ReplyDeleteThe virgin ben? He has never wielded his brush at all, if you know what I mean.
ReplyDeleteDiCaprio as you never thought you'd see him, in There's Nothing Wrong with Roger Ailes a Hundred Dollars a Week Won't Fix.
ReplyDeleteYou know whats not on that list? Women. Even if they made a combo version of that movie it still wouldn't have enough women.
ReplyDeleteI am under no illusions. Words written on the internet have all the permanence of initials whizzed into a snowbank ...of which the NSA takes lovingly detailed photographs.
ReplyDeleteIs the animated snowmen movie "Frozen"? I see about one movie every 5 years and I actually saw that one. It makes the point that sisterhood is powerful, so I thought it was pretty good (for a Disney movie about princesses, anyway).
ReplyDeleteAlso: before, and during.
ReplyDeleteYes, if the animated movie is Frozen I take back what I said. As I understand it its pretty good on the female front and I'd been intending to see it with my daughters. I was just kidding, though, in general. After all, maybe some of the dwarves are secretely female.
ReplyDelete"Girl's' star Lena Dunham to feature on cover despite untraditional body type"
ReplyDeleteIt's pretty clear that Ben would like all women to look like the warrior girl in the "Wartune" ads.
The old anti-Soviet joke was that, after a footrace in which the American won and the Soviet runner lost, the Pravda headline is "Soviet Runner Comes in Second! American Comes in Next-to-Last." Ben is the kind of lad who would write that headline and then sit back with a pleased little smirk and think, "Nailed it."
ReplyDeleteHell, replace scrubbing toilets with teaching, and you've got the template for most public education "reform" plans.
ReplyDeleteIt also reads like an especially tricky cryptic crossword clue. The answer has got to like somewhere in "hate-wanks," but where? Where?
ReplyDeleteUpvoted for truth...and the inspired choice of "whizzed."
ReplyDeleteOK, you've narrowed the pool down to 100,000 women or so. Care to be more specific?
ReplyDeleteLink fix: http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/to-catch-a-trader/
ReplyDeleteWell, by Hollywood standards, she's astonishingly (and refreshingly) lacking in waist indention. Read "traditional body shape" as "hourglass figure" and it makes perfect sense.
ReplyDeleteAs someone who is not particularly chubby and still waist-indention-challenged, go her!
I think that's why they put Evangeline Lily (swoon) as Tauriel in the new Hobbit movie. Someone looked around and said, "Um, something's missing..."
ReplyDeleteIf I didn't know any better, I'd swear that Mr Shapiro has never seen a female body up close.
ReplyDeleteOrdinarily, I'd suggest someone explaining to Ben that the bit about the sheet with the hole in it is supposed to be a myth. But that would probably be unfair to Mrs. Shapiro.
"Ben Shapiro looks a lot like Pajama Boy if Pajama Boy's mother's made him wear a tie."
ReplyDeleteTHIS--the publication of this sentence--is why the Internet was invented.
There is an enormous amount of free floating hate that attaches to women in the public sphere who are labled as not thin and beautiful enough. Its not enough to be thin--since lots of thin women can be accused of being ugly--but being thin and looking like a model seems to be something that a lot of people think ought to be required of women before they enter the public sphere or impinge on the view of the casual passerby. The things that are said, on public comment boards, by random men (and women) criticizing fat, poor, or slovenly looking women or women who don't seem to care enough about the stranger's gaze are just kind of jaw dropping. What is surprising and shocks the conscience is the sense of weird entitlement that quite ordinary or even ugly looking men have to an unending stream of beautiful women in their viewing space. And the internet has opened up the idea of public space so that "ugly" women or women who don't seem to opt into the fantasy that life should be a visual smorgasboard for men are seen as actively invading or occupying spaces that should be left only for the beautiful women.
ReplyDeleteI'd like to add that I think there is a way in which allowing themselves to be used as fantasy objects is one service that models and beautiful actresses are thought to "pay" for their use of public space and for their fame and fortune. Lena Dunham is not paying random men enough attention and visual subservience since she dares to occupy public space/vision without pleasing them sexually or alluding to their desires.

ReplyDeleteMy two liberal arts degrees have been making me money for years. Given that I'd be more or less useless in the traditional type STEM jobs, that's probably a good thing.
ReplyDelete(I used to work as a courseware writer for an engineering firm, where I used my liberal arts training in formal logic to dismantle one theory of accident causation, shocking even people with doctorates in the safety field -- oops! -- and now I'm a technical writer for a really big IT company which has a small sideline in the components of pay-tv systems. My degrees are in English literature and what amounts to applied rhetoric. Funny old world, innit?)
"consummate"? Oh dear. He means "commensurate." Well, you know what they say--"A man who writes his own blog has a fool for an editor."

Those commenters fear that they're losing another bastion of male privilege - the right to proclaim who's hot and who's not. They remind me of that blogger who had a meltdown over Jennifer Lawrence's haircut, wanting to make sure that all those women out there who think JLaw is just the bestest most perfect ladystar ever were disabused of that notion, now that guys -- the only ones who opinion counts when it comes to hotness -- don't want to bonk JLaw anymore. Because if women get the final word on other women's appeal, it's all over.
ReplyDeleteRepublican employment axioms:
ReplyDelete1) Scrubbing toilets is a job that deserves no dignity, because it's a job for bad people who need to be punished for failing.
2) If we make scrubbing toilets too attractive of a job, surgeons and corporate lawyers and CEOs will abandon their careers en masse to become janitors.
3) Therefore, we must make scrubbing toilets as punitive as possible.
