How to Debate Leftists and Destroy Them: 11 Rules for Winning the Argument

by Ben Shapiro

This is what makes leftists leftists: an unearned sense of moral superiority over you. And if they can instill that sense of moral superiority in others by making you the bad guy, they will.

People on the left are taught from childhood that they are better than conservatives – it makes them feel good to hate conservatives. And that hatred is justified because, after all, conservatives are bigots.

Calling you a racist and sexist, a bigot and a homophobe, gives them a sense of satisfaction with their status in the universe, even if they never help a single individual human being.

The truth is that your opponent, who labels you a racist without evidence, is the actual racist: it is he who waters down the term racism until it is meaningless by labeling any argument with which he disagrees racist.

Forcing the left to answer questions is often like trying to pin pudding to the wall – messy and near-impossible. But it’s uncomfortable for them to be on the defensive.

Hahaha! Ben Shapiro is a G!

Don’t follow people. Follow principle.

One of my new favorite quotes...

The moment you don’t give a damn what they say about you because you realize they’re lying is the moment you have the upper hand. It’s a thrill when you know how to respond to someone who calls you a racist without evidence. It’s a thrill to go on the offense. And it’s a double thrill to do so when you know the future of the country is at stake, and you’re taking a vital role in fighting back.
