Ben Shapiro's Real Friends Would Tell Him to Shut Up

Years from now, Ben Shapiro of townhall-dot-something will look back on his writings and cringe. “Good God!” he will cry, “Was I really ever such an idiot? Why didn’t anyone stop me from being such a horse’s ass?”

I am grateful that nobody ever gave me a column when I was a silly young man so bereft of experience of the world and so full of my own significance. I wasn’t as stupid as Ben Shapiro by a long shot, but I bet I would be embarrassed by some of the opinions I held then.

Doesn’t he have friends who can take him aside and tell him what a fool he is making of himself? The image is from Calvin College's collection of Nazi propaganda. The caption says "Silence is Your Duty". Ben Shapiro agrees with this poster.
