The most recent PragerU video by conservative commentator Ben Shapiro struck me as irrefutably true. While he inserted his opinions into the interpretation of the facts, there were no real stretches that needed to be made. One could be on the political left and still come away feeling they learned something profound about western society, the importance of Athens and Jerusalem as the epicenters of reason and Biblical teachings, and how history points to a supremacy of western civilization that has evolved into the paramount of proper human thought, governance, and moral values today.
But that’s not what happened. With just over 200,000 views as I write this article, the video above has garnered over a thousand thumbs down. Compare that to the previous two similar videos that have over a million views and less than a thousand thumbs down. Even Dennis Prager’s recent video which, like Shapiro’s videos, get extra thumbs down regardless of the content, it still has less than three thousand thumbs down with over two million views.
What is it about Shapiro’s videos that earn the the ire of the left on YouTube? Perhaps it isn’t the content of the videos but the person himself who draws so much negative attention. I don’t agree with everything Shapiro believes just as I don’t agree with everything anyone else in the world believes. We’re don’t have to be automatons to still be considered like-minded and I find I agree with Shapiro’s perspectives much more than I disagree. But one thing that can be said about Shapiro is that his arguments for his perspectives are challenging to counter. This, perhaps more than anything else, is why he is so widely panned by the left. They can’t beat him. They won’t join him. Therefore, their only recourse is to suppress him. They do this with their thumbs down.
Why is western society so successful? For the short answer to that, watch this PragerU video by Ben Shapiro. It’s elegant and frankly difficult to argue against, but that won’t stop the left from trying.
