The one thing people in the US need more than anything is to _see_ one another. To see that neither side of the polarized division aisle is trying to be evil, malicious, or abusive. Not on the voter side, anyway. Most regular people just want a decent job, a fair wage, and a chance at happiness. A chance to live life on their terms. If we have that, why get angry that someone else might have blue hair, use unfamiliar pronouns and/or be a feminist, or that they drink moonshine out of a funny hat while riding a tractor into a ditch full of alligators?
@CandieP funnily enough, free market economic policies, including less taxes and not federally funded healthcare, result in more access to healthcare for everyone
@MargaretBurmingham-qm5dx unless you have federally funded health care for everyone. We could afford this if we wanted to tax wealth on the top 1 percent. Many countries in Europe have this system, and it works quite well. (Besides for health care CEOs that wouldn't exist)
@its.that-time Wdym we do tax the rich. The US has one of the *most progressive* tax systems in the world. The country with the best healthcare system in the world is Singapore, and guess what? It has lower tax rates than the US.
actually resisting the oligarchy, like the left has been preaching for decades and the right has been blindly following albeit very unknowingly thinking they're the ones actually against the establishment.
Understanding was never a priority for conservatives. To them, the important thing is to stubbornly hold to whatever values they've decided count as "traditional", to aggressively attack anything that doesn't agree with those values, and to insistently narrate a reality that proves not to exist when one actually examines the relevant data, articles, etc.
...Ben Shapiro clearly has not realised the game he's been playing and the kind of people he's attracted to his fanbase. He should be a lot more careful.
They love him they ain't going to do nothing to that man. He going to be looking just like Nicky F he's going to attack some woman and say it's because he scared.
Louis realised that the voice has been making too much sense lately and had to reset it back 😂 Also, isn't it interesting how Ben and the MSM are trying their best to either divide the people/give sympathy to the CEO. The American people seem united for once and these guys are trying to divide. Interesting observation.
I don't understand this attitude because there clearly is bipartisan support *against it*. Both right wing parties are against it, want you to think the dead CEO is a big tragedy and want you to Love Your Insurance and keep paying for it. That's capitalism.
Healthcare for working poor. I don't want to spend more in tax dollars to pay for a millionaire's health insurance. Funny how people in this situation go from "yeah ceos" to "yeah pay for ceo healthcare"
@Blundabus1337 i think this was more from the expectation (or rather the hope given the low chance of this happening in the current political climate) that the rich would be taxed their fair share to pay for healthcare. And/or that the rich would be made to utilize the same healthcare as everyone else so as to force the standard of healthcare up (because lord knows if they had to bum it with the rest of us they'd move heaven and earth to be able to get actual quality treatment passed as the legal standard) rather than being able to ignore the problem by hiring personal healthcare professionals.
@Blundabus1337 for all. Everybody. It's not about healthcare for CEOs. It's about destroying the predatory American healthcare system. If there is no private healthcare system, the costs for healthcare will go down because we will no longer have to pay the benefits and fund expensive holidays for all of these CEOs and shareholder billionaires. The price of insulin and basic necessities will finally be comparable to the price in other countries. If you continue to expand healthcare while restricting it to a few the private healthcare system will still make things too expensive for the government to be able to afford to give the working poor good care. If there is only a single payer though ( ie the government) then they will have the power to negotiate down healthcare costs making the cost of healthcare to be in line with the prices present in other developed countries
No, no, it's "facts don't care about YOUR feelings". As in, "they only care about MY feelings". Ben Shapiro, professional double standards man and olympic level Gish Galloper.
Ayo, remember the old story about some millionaire 'supermodel' that didn't know if $10 was enough to buy bananas? This keeps up and it's gonna be for real.
If only people had this realization months ago before the murder and they elected a billionaire, then there may have been some hope for a better future.
Not a side thing at all. Ben is outta pocket on this 100! The problem of mixing a business that is directly linked to people living or dying. They could do better and live with less millions of dollars. Yet it is capitalism and freedom we value. So they are free to do business like this. If a better person/people would step up and make a more humanity version would their business do well against those that worry about profit first?
As good as it is that his fans are now disagreeing with him on this, they're going to forget about it in a couple of days. Right wingers have 5 minute memory.
How the hell did Ben look an event so dramatic it causes CEOs to go into panic mode and thought "Hmmm, it's all the left's fault! I should blame it on them and tell everyone about it." as if it isn't even more tone deaf than his usual shite? He should really watch his step now that he stepped on this ant hill of an issue.
The answer is simple. He is in the pocket of the CEO class, so he is trying to distract his followers since now their anger is finally being aimed at the real cause of their problems.
Dude that last part “how dare you not be divided” is so true. I’ve literally had both left and right wackos online tell me that being a centrist is worse because I’m “fence sitting” instead of taking a side. Yeah because I don’t always align 100% with one side man.
Unfortunately America is right wing beyond all reason so to be centrist in this political context is just to be a right winger. The democratic party are like if the republican party who don’t hate gay people and don’t want to give as much tax breaks to the rich. Both parties want endless war and support the g-side of gaza. They also keep moving to the right because going to the left means they have to care about healthcare and money in politics. Bernie Sanders is an actual centrist if we look at politics outside of American context. That being said you are right on one very important thing: We are divided when we shouldn’t be. This CEOs death proved we are being radicalized by old and new media to fight each other when we agree on what we actually want. Hating the LGBT or flyover state white people are distracting us from our enemies: the rich and powerful.
@Nastara I've been saying for the past year that a centrist is just a conservative in search of good optics. Not hating gays or openly hating nonwhite immigrants just isn't enough anymore for Dems (especially when trans people are the newest scapegoat likely to be thrown under the bus by the mainstream left party).
Pod Save America is also getting attacked by their own fans for pretty much the same reason. Sadly, there are pundits on our side making pretty much the same mistake.
@@Blundabus1337 No they aren't the death penalty is when you kill someone after they're no longer a threat. Some see this as the only option for stopping the rich from railing us constantly. You can disagree with the sentiment, but it makes complete sense.

Or maybe they don’t agree with you? Just because Ben Shapiro is ridiculous doesn’t mean that Millenials plus Gen Z and A aren’t struggling with food and housing under current administration, a lot of people that might otherwise agree with you simply don’t think Kamala is going to help fix our dangerous unwalkable cities that are falling apart etc.
@@Bobby_T_ Trump told everyone to prepare for hardship. I don’t know how to justify supporting that. Especially when he won’t suffer because he’s rich. Anyone struggling now should not agree that making it worse will help in the long run.
@@Bobby_T_That’s an untenable position when you consider that the left has pushed for a more state run healthcare system, and trump has actively denounced the affordable care act.

"This isn't a left vs, right issue, it's a working class vs. rich" is EXACTLY what all of our divisions are truly about because it's EXACTLY what the greedy, obscenely wealthy work so hard to keep us all from realizing.
Except when you are politically educated you know right wing ideology is for the rich and greedy and left wing ideology is for the working class. The dichotomy of "working class vs rich" literally is just "Left vs Right"
@@julieteveee I suppose I would agree with that except I don't consider liberals/democrats to be progressive or on the left at all. We need more people on the left in general.
The fact is that Humans will do crazy things so their loved ones are safe, healthy, warm fed. No matter how civilized people think they are, the children come first. When you push too far and take too much this is what happens. People will give up every luxery, but they will not give up the safety of their loved ones.
I relate to this guy in this video so much Explaining why common decency is good and having mindless internet trolls and keyboard warriors scream non sense at you. “It not about left vs right it’s about what right and what’s not”
I’ve been in the US for 3 months and so far I have actively avoided engaging with american healthcare or insurance. In its current state if I do end up getting severely ill I would rather buy the $1000-2000 plane ticket back to my home country because that would most definitely be cheaper. The life expectancy is slightly lower but drowning in debt is arguably worse.

But if the argument you're making is "removing a person like that is inherently bad", you're wrong on every moral level that matters, and maybe want to step away from the keyboard a bit and stop pretending you're one of the big kids.
he'll just continue saying it's the left and call it a day. doesn't matter what "the left" means in his context, it'll work fine.
@@TuhljinTampergauge do you have a concept of class warfare? Do you also have the concept that it is the upper and rich echelons of the society that want to keep the lower-middle and lower class scraping by and paying (as a % of their total income) large amounts of money so they can skip the line whenever they want to? The guy that got merc'd is the embodiment of that oppression... an no, the lower-middle and lower class ARE the majority of the country...
There is a big difference between celebrating and not mourning.
Personally I plan on studying both of those ways of thinking.
Yeah, mourning requires a deductible, while celebrating would be considered either liability or aggregate.

The one thing people in the US need more than anything is to _see_ one another. To see that neither side of the polarized division aisle is trying to be evil, malicious, or abusive. Not on the voter side, anyway. Most regular people just want a decent job, a fair wage, and a chance at happiness. A chance to live life on their terms. If we have that, why get angry that someone else might have blue hair, use unfamiliar pronouns and/or be a feminist, or that they drink moonshine out of a funny hat while riding a tractor into a ditch full of alligators?
Countless Americans just decided to deny his sympathy claim. His lead poisoning has been deemed a preexisting condition.
Ben Shapiro LITERALLY said Healthcare should NOT, I repeat, Not be a human right.
Yeah they are disconnected from reality. These are the same people who hat Obama care but are on the affordable care act
The whole republican party. We also happen to spend twice as much on health care as countries that have it as a human right.
@CandieP funnily enough, free market economic policies, including less taxes and not federally funded healthcare, result in more access to healthcare for everyone
@MargaretBurmingham-qm5dx unless you have federally funded health care for everyone. We could afford this if we wanted to tax wealth on the top 1 percent. Many countries in Europe have this system, and it works quite well. (Besides for health care CEOs that wouldn't exist)
@its.that-time Wdym we do tax the rich. The US has one of the *most progressive* tax systems in the world. The country with the best healthcare system in the world is Singapore, and guess what? It has lower tax rates than the US.
I give the voices too much credit for the last few days. Also yeah it's one of the few things that most Americans agree on including me.

They were so busy fighting a phony culture war, they lost the class war without a fight.
Ben Shapiro is too rich and privilege to understand; he never had understanding
Understanding was never a priority for conservatives. To them, the important thing is to stubbornly hold to whatever values they've decided count as "traditional", to aggressively attack anything that doesn't agree with those values, and to insistently narrate a reality that proves not to exist when one actually examines the relevant data, articles, etc.
...Ben Shapiro clearly has not realised the game he's been playing and the kind of people he's attracted to his fanbase. He should be a lot more careful.
Shapiro is a walking example of the Dunning-Kueuger effect
who would have thought that the guy paid by the rich to distract people from their exploitation would try to distract their fanbase.
They love him they ain't going to do nothing to that man. He going to be looking just like Nicky F he's going to attack some woman and say it's because he scared.
Ben is taking a well-defined moral position. Your parents failed you if you didn't reach the same conclusion.

I don't understand this attitude because there clearly is bipartisan support *against it*. Both right wing parties are against it, want you to think the dead CEO is a big tragedy and want you to Love Your Insurance and keep paying for it. That's capitalism.
Healthcare for working poor.
I don't want to spend more in tax dollars to pay for a millionaire's health insurance.
Funny how people in this situation go from "yeah ceos" to "yeah pay for ceo healthcare"
@Blundabus1337 i think this was more from the expectation (or rather the hope given the low chance of this happening in the current political climate) that the rich would be taxed their fair share to pay for healthcare. And/or that the rich would be made to utilize the same healthcare as everyone else so as to force the standard of healthcare up (because lord knows if they had to bum it with the rest of us they'd move heaven and earth to be able to get actual quality treatment passed as the legal standard) rather than being able to ignore the problem by hiring personal healthcare professionals.
@Blundabus1337 for all. Everybody. It's not about healthcare for CEOs. It's about destroying the predatory American healthcare system. If there is no private healthcare system, the costs for healthcare will go down because we will no longer have to pay the benefits and fund expensive holidays for all of these CEOs and shareholder billionaires. The price of insulin and basic necessities will finally be comparable to the price in other countries. If you continue to expand healthcare while restricting it to a few the private healthcare system will still make things too expensive for the government to be able to afford to give the working poor good care. If there is only a single payer though ( ie the government) then they will have the power to negotiate down healthcare costs making the cost of healthcare to be in line with the prices present in other developed countries
@Blunda, the fuck are you talking about? That is not what cheaper healthcare abroad is like.
There he is. For a while I was worried that the strawman was relatively consistently having good points
“This isn’t about Left vs Right”Yeaahhh……It never was….and that’s what weve been trying to tell you guys😀
In fact, it is exactly right and left and Shapiro is showing why
^ THIS 💯💯
Right wing ideology is fundamentally what sustains the nature of the medical industry, and left wing ideology fundamentally opposes it
It absolutely IS a left vs right issue.

The first time I ever heard Ben Shapiro was in the Adam carolla show. Coincidentally that was the last time I listened to the Adam carolla show.
It's a shame what happened to Adam Carolla, The Man Show was a great show, back in the day. We'll always have Jimmy Kimell, though.

Not a side thing at all. Ben is outta pocket on this 100!
The problem of mixing a business that is directly linked to people living or dying. They could do better and live with less millions of dollars. Yet it is capitalism and freedom we value. So they are free to do business like this. If a better person/people would step up and make a more humanity version would their business do well against those that worry about profit first?
Awww, and you two were getting along so well 😔
I've never seen your videos before. This was highly entertaining
As good as it is that his fans are now disagreeing with him on this, they're going to forget about it in a couple of days. Right wingers have 5 minute memory.
I'm sure they'll find a way to blame Biden in no time.
How the hell did Ben look an event so dramatic it causes CEOs to go into panic mode and thought "Hmmm, it's all the left's fault! I should blame it on them and tell everyone about it." as if it isn't even more tone deaf than his usual shite? He should really watch his step now that he stepped on this ant hill of an issue.
The answer is simple. He is in the pocket of the CEO class, so he is trying to distract his followers since now their anger is finally being aimed at the real cause of their problems.
Honestly yes a successful business is evil when it's model promotes the people who do the least vs those who do everything.
US: *CEO of medical insurance company gets merc'd*

Dude that last part “how dare you not be divided” is so true. I’ve literally had both left and right wackos online tell me that being a centrist is worse because I’m “fence sitting” instead of taking a side. Yeah because I don’t always align 100% with one side man.
Unfortunately America is right wing beyond all reason so to be centrist in this political context is just to be a right winger.
The democratic party are like if the republican party who don’t hate gay people and don’t want to give as much tax breaks to the rich. Both parties want endless war and support the g-side of gaza. They also keep moving to the right because going to the left means they have to care about healthcare and money in politics.
Bernie Sanders is an actual centrist if we look at politics outside of American context.
That being said you are right on one very important thing: We are divided when we shouldn’t be. This CEOs death proved we are being radicalized by old and new media to fight each other when we agree on what we actually want. Hating the LGBT or flyover state white people are distracting us from our enemies: the rich and powerful.
@Nastara
I've been saying for the past year that a centrist is just a conservative in search of good optics. Not hating gays or openly hating nonwhite immigrants just isn't enough anymore for Dems (especially when trans people are the newest scapegoat likely to be thrown under the bus by the mainstream left party).
Being a centrist is just having incoherent politics, taking things from both sides literally is fence sitting.
