Ben Shapiro has recreated Judeo-Bolshevism from first principles, just replacing "Jew" with "Muslim."
Joel S.@joelhs.bsky.social · 5h agoBen Shapiro probably does not know enough history to even know this, but the way he is talking about Muslims as a nation within the nation who can never be integrated is almost verbatim what European nationalists said about Jews in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

They said, 'Well, a constitutional war has to have significant casualties' ... initiation or declaration of war is *before* the casualties."
I don’t even think lack of integrity shields you. He has no problem throwing anyone under the bus to save his skin.

As someone who is actually entitled to comment on the red scare — because my entire life was shaped by my family showing up on the McCarthy lists — we’re just replaying the same book over again.
