    Shouldn't the thread be renamed "Things that the right think triggers the left"?

    Things that trigger the left: Racism, homophobia, misogyny, etc.

    No need to... but let's face it, Shapiro is good for showing just how rare it is to find someone who advocates leftist principles, who is also capable/willing to debate properly. Most of those he encounters throw out garbage and are unable to back up their statements.

    It is good to see that some on the left (or those in the middle but are pushed into the left) are evolving towards engaging in a discussion/debate rather than calling names, or making emotional outbursts.

    He "debates" with a bunch of amateur, ill prepared, college students most of the time. My point is he has proven that he's even worse than the libtards when faced with anybody with any sort of debating prowess. Look at the titles of the videos with him and Peterson etc.... "woke SJW gets OWNED BY SHAPIRO!!!,". Imagine the circle jerk that would ensue if some lesbian feminist stormed out of an interview after saying "nobody's ever even heard of you"

    To be fair, Youtube is full of clickbait titles, and Americans love the extreme drama of such crap.

    But I agree that he debates or rather tears down, ill prepared college students with extremely naive ideas. It highlights though the level of what people consider to be acceptable behavior for those on the left, feminists, or SJW. Making a fool of these idiots is a good thing in my mind, because it encourages those who get into such arguments to be better prepared. Regardless of what side they're on.

    I don't watch him at all anymore. I watched him a bit about two years ago. Nor do I watch Peterson. Similar time-frame for watching his vids. I've become far less concerned with American society and politics over the last decade as they rush headlong into extreme extremist thought/behavior. I found Shapiro a wee bit interesting the first few times I watched him, but I wouldn't consider either him or Peterson to be good debaters. Nor would I hold with many of their ideas either.

    The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few, or the one.

    Easy to say when you'll be back resurrected in the 3rd film after "dying" in the 2nd.

    relying on facts rather than accepting that their emotions are just as important...

    everything "seems" to mean... something other than what was said.

    I'm pretty far to the left & this doesn't make me "triggered", there's obviously only two genders, the famous feminist Germain Greer stated this.

    Pointing out examples of leftist extremism every bit as bad as right.

    Uncle Joe Stalin outlawed abortions in the Soviet Union in the mid 1930's. Was Stalin a man of the right?

    Yeah, but I'm sure he had other reasons for doing so. Just as the Chinese had their own reasons for aborting so many
