 Ben Shapiro uploaded a video to his YouTube channel where he went to a public library to teach Children the fundamentals of politics, which is hysterical to me now if you're wondering why he did this Well, it's because the nearly 12 minute long video is an ad It's a 12 minute long advertisement for a conservative book company marketed towards children called Conserva kids and in case you're wondering no, of course, this is an indoctrination It's not indoctrination when conservatives do this But if a liberal or a leftist were to try to teach children about politics then that would be indoctrination in case you Didn't get that by now But anyways the reason why I'm talking about this is because it went viral one particular moment went viral because Ben Shapiro said something so Stupid that one of the kids decided to challenge him a kid acknowledged that Ben Shapiro was out of line here And do you want to know what debate God Ben Shapiro did when he was challenged by a small child? He backed down like the beta male cut that he is because of course he did take a look here And then we'll talk about this a little bit more because this up this speaks to Something that is more interesting with respect to conservative politics and a trend that they're kind of headed in but let's watch Okay, so who has an idea about government go for it Government is what takes all of your money and gives you very little in return Okay, that's kind of true it depends on the kind of government Yeah, that is what taxes are for but taxes are thefts children The reality is that government is necessary so that people don't hurt each other so that people don't murder each other Right, so people don't eat people. That's right. You do need a government to prevent people from eating people Okay, who knows who the president is right now Yeah That's right I'm with you Unfortunately, Joe Biden, yeah Whoa So one of the questions that I frequently get asked is how do I talk to my own children about Conservative values and the things that matter and my answer is Conserva kids conserva kids brings you books like home of the brave for example in which they discuss things like American values and American history They're beautifully illustrated. They're really well-written and they have values that you can feel comfortable sharing with your children Which is the most important thing There's so many forces out there that are seeking to twist what kids think There's so many people out there who want your kids to believe things that they really shouldn't believe who want to take Control of your child's education away from you not so with conserva kids conserva kids is the way that you can teach your kids about stuff that matters That was great. So Ben Shapiro got challenged by a child and Then back down I mean if even a child acknowledges that your point is a little bit too reductionist and feels the need to scrutinize your position maybe you should rethink your worldview and what Ben Shapiro is trying to do here is Simplify political terms to make them more easily digestible to children But even when he does that he still manages to somehow contradict himself So he referenced the social contract when he said the government is necessary So people don't hurt each other, but he said that immediately after he said that taxes are theft That's the whole social contract isn't the point of us pulling resources to create a government to protect property the point of all of this I Mean he he doesn't understand his own worldview and it's because he's trying to sell people on a Philosophy a political philosophy and economic philosophy that is antithetical to them thriving the whole point of Conservatism and capitalism is to protect capital its profits over people and you can't really frame it as this rosy thing You have to try to sell it in this individualistic package We'll see it's not that we're leaving you abandoned and we're just trying to hoard wealth It's that you're an individualist you want to pull yourself up by your bootstraps and you want to take care of yourself You want to be responsible So he's trying to brainwash children into this conservative cult Knowing that probably most of them will grow out of this But hopefully if you brainwash enough maybe they'll just default to conservative and the vote Republican and that's a win-win win This is a trend with Republicans because we even see Prager you doing the same thing now Prager you kid you see Matt Walsh writing an anti-trans children's book I mean they're trying to indoctrinate children in the same way that they claim that leftists are trying to indoctrinate children If there's a rainbow flag or black lives matter flag in classrooms Indoctrination for me, but not for thee again We know exactly what they do if the shoe around the other foot They scream at the top of their lungs when fucking Kellogg's or whatever a cereal company Does an LGBTQ celebration they freak out because mr. Potato Head changed its branding so that way it's just potato head And it's not mr. So it's now gender-neutral So any little thing that they see with regard to you know marketing towards children They're hypersensitive and perhaps you should be hypersensitive because kids are very impressionable but they just straight up want to indoctrinate children with conservative dogma and They don't want you to do the same. So, you know, I don't really have much left to say I honestly just played this clip admittedly because I want to see a kid dunk on Ben Shapiro because who wouldn't want to see that But you know what they're doing is extremely slimy and nefarious You know kids don't need to know about your dumb fucking conservative ideology and how tax cuts for the wealthy is good because Taxation equals theft. No, they should be learning about actual things that matter like history real history But no because that's critical race theory and they should be learning about you know Caring and sharing. Oh wait, but that's communism and they should be you know learning about loving one another Oh wait, but that might be pro LGBTQ or something like that. See it's just they want Everything that they believe to be instilled at a very young age into children But just caring about the planet even is controversial to conservatives So, you know that this is the double standard what applies to you doesn't apply to them So, you know, the main takeaway here that I want to leave you with is that don't be afraid to push what is objectively true to push good things and Don't worry if a conservative is gonna accuse you of like indoctrinating children Because to the extent that you can indoctrinate children, they're gonna grow out of it But I think that instilling values in children is is okay, right? It's a good thing But they're gonna accuse you of indoctrinating children into hating white people if you teach them about the real history of This country and stuff like that. So my point is don't be afraid. Don't back down Just do what you know is right because they're making their case So we shouldn't silence ourselves and self-censor all because we don't want to be criticized by Republicans They're gonna criticize you no matter what they're gonna do what they believe is going to help them have an edge in the culture and Society more broadly speaking. So we should do the same. Yes We need to instill these values in the children teach them about the real history of the United States Teach them the actual good values to respect people and care for people and be open-minded and We shouldn't worry about that We shouldn't be afraid of what they're gonna think because it doesn't matter what they think because these are not serious people These are people who care about one thing and one thing only protecting capital and this is what they're doing here This is the whole point of their project. They're indoctrination project to be clear because this is indoctrination It's the same thing if they do it if they say that when we teach children about leftist values or whatever It's indoctrination. It's certainly the same thing with them But honestly who gives a shit what they think because they're fucking psychos
