    "Youngest general in American history at 41"
    Wow, that's not even close to true....one of America's very first generals, Nathanael Greene was all of 32 when made Brigadier General, while Benedict Arnold was 35
    Lafayette was made a Major General at 19
    Winfield Scott made the rank at 28
    George McClellan was 35
    Ulysses S Grant was 39
    I could keep naming dozens, if not a hundred or more, men who became generals before hitting 40 years old, but I don't think that's terribly necessary after naming merely half a dozen of the most famous in American history...

      All I can figure is that Ben means the very specific rank of "General", which is symbolized by four silver stars and is thus often called "4 star general".
      But having a 41 year old as a 4 star general because he's a killing machine is absolute nonsense. That's not how the Army promotes officers.

      The 8 year old part is disturbing on another level. As a reader, it’s information not available prior to the shooting, but the cop is still looking at an 8 year old. Ben wants his cake and to eat it to, having the cop be tragic while civil rights groups are monstrous hypocrites. All while ignoring that his own character is jumpy enough to shoot a child. Someone who would very clearly look like a child. In the moment we don’t know their age, but it’s left ambiguous enough that the reader doesn’t put down the book and call out how stupid it is. Ben tries to frame it in his own narrative that the cop had no way to tell if the person he was talking to was a child. In that case, is this the kind of person who should have been given a gun in the first place? Shapiro tried to make it a set up but he just make his own character (a pretty blatant stand in for all police shootings) an unobservant and jumpy idiot

      I've seen books that have basically no fans to speak of with the "ny times best seller", I go to conventions and there's a booth with an author I've never heard of releasing a new book and it's somehow got "new York times best seller" on it as well, it's plastered on so many books as a lable of quality when all it really seems to be saying is that you got 100 downloads on the kindle store in a day because it was in the discount section.
      Edit: did some research, that's almost exactly how it works, and can even just have hand picked books by a curator, Literally a few people choosing what to put on the list, or its just sell x amount of copies in a week and they can count whatever number they want as a "best seller"
      A quote from an article explains it well:
      "The most important bestseller list is The New York Times bestseller list, and they are the worst culprit at this curated elitism. They readily admit that their list is only reflective of books that are selling at a certain number of bookstores and online retailers around the country -- but not an actual bestseller list. You know why they have to admit this publicly? They were sued about it."
      Getting a NY times best seller means literal jack shit, it's kind of funny seeing Ben put it on his book as a badge of honor.

      @michaellovely6601 2 года назад +7

      I was a little bit uncomfortable by the homoerotic descriptions of Brett Hawthorne and I was understandably disgusted by "Run Hide Fight" as it seemed like Ben took bits and pieces of school shootings from the 1990's and blended them into a shitty film. I only said "school shootings from the 1990's" because a lot of school safety experts say that schools in the United States are safer now than they were in the 1990's; the decade most associated with high-profile violent school shootings. While I hope it never happens; it would be interesting if Ben Shapiro wrote a sequel to "True Allegiance" and set the sequel in Northern Ireland during The Troubles as we could finally get a glimpse of what are Ben's views on Northern Ireland. For those who are not familiar with The Troubles; they are defined as a thirty-year period of violence, terror and despair in the British Isles. The Troubles are generally considered to have started in 1968 with the Battle of the Bogside and ended with the signing of the Good Friday Agreement in 1998. The parties involved in The Troubles were the Catholic population of Northern Ireland as well as the Republic of Ireland, the Irish Republican Army, the Protestant communities in the British Isles, the police forces of Northern Ireland, and the British Army. Ben would probably depict the Catholic population of Northern Ireland as IRA sympathizers and violent murderous thugs who take pleasure in committing acts of violence on the Protestant communities in the British Isles by bombing, beating, stabbing or shooting Protestants as well as police officers in Northern Ireland and British soldiers coupled with burning or bombing Protestant homes and businesses. Ben would probably depict the Protestant communities of Northern Ireland as well as the police forces of Northern Ireland and the soldiers of the British Army as good hardworking people who were desperate to stop the violence in Northern Ireland by any means necessary.

    As someone who lives near Detroit and does a lot of volunteer work there, I find Ben's depiction of the city... annoying. Detroit has had a bad reputation ever since the riots of '67, but today its primary issue is underfunding. After those riots, everyone rich enough left. Those who left were nearly all white, of course. That left us with a poor, black population in a city that those outside of the city didn't really care to fund. Today, 80.95% of Detroit is black. It also has an amazingly unique culture, with great food, great music, and especially great museums. For those who are homeless, poor, or struggling in some of the not-so-nice-neighborhoods, the thriving charity organizations in the area (many of which are Christian, which Ben might like) are there to help where public funding doesn't. There are shelters for people to sleep in, soup kitchens to eat in (with very good food*), and youth centers where kids in the area could spend their free time in a safe environment. Generally, it's a beautiful city full of absolutely amazing people. Representations like Ben's not only shows it as crime-filled city full of crazy people, but also misrepresents the protests, many of which were peaceful aside from the demonstrations of the police. www.clickondetroit.com/news/michigan/2020/06/01/3-days-of-protests-in-michigan-heres-what-happened/

The real catalyst for the decline of Detroit can be traced to 1944 as that year the city's mayor Edward Jeffries lobbied Congress for Federal funding to build expressways leading out of Detroit to the suburbs.

      @FlashNeko417 5 лет назад +27

      *puts on brainy glasses*
      It's a double meaning. The first is it referencing a shortening of the phrase "hit me up", which is slang for "call me", with the "up" dropped for the sake of the song's candice.
      The second is a reference to the other slang usage of the phrase "hit me", which means "show me" or "impress me".
      So in the context of the song, the singer is inviting the subject of the lyrics to call them again so said subject can show them and impress them with how they intend to demonstrate a romantic relationship.

    • @pete2389
      @pete2389 5 лет назад +12

      @@FlashNeko417 The first part is right. The second meaning isn't. I have never heard anyone say "hit me" to mean "impress me". Hit me can mean call me/ speak to me, and hit me (with) something can mean show me something, but "hit me" by itself means "fuck me", ie., have sexual intercourse with me. Especially in the 90s. Hit me up/ sex me is how I always interpreted those lyrics.

      Like the way the police shooting was orchestrated to help left wing activists is so abhorrent. There's a much better example of a civil rights activist being duped into taking a case for someone who wasn't quite so innocent in the book Black Klansman.

Garner said, “I can’t breathe” about eleven times before losing consciousness. Approximately an hour later, he was pronounced dead at an area hospital.
