Conservative commentator Ben Shapiro told “Life, Liberty & Levin” in an interview airing Sunday that the ongoing unrest in the United States resembles “the French Revolution in real time without the actual physical guillotines.”
“The fact is that what we have seen over the last several weeks is the full flowering of an ideology of disintegrationism that has been running roughshod over our universities, through our media, through our major cultural institutions for years,” said Shapiro, editor emeritus of The Daily Wire and author of the forthcoming book “How to Destroy America in Three Easy Steps.”
‘”The idea [of disintegrationism is] that America has never had any ties that bind us and that American history is a story of one group clubbing another group over the head, [and that] America’s philosophy is really just sort of a pasteboard mask … covering up for hierarchies of brutal power dynamics, and that our culture of rights is really a lie,” Shapiro told host Mark Levin.
Shapiro added that belief also implies that our rights “ought to be thrown out in favor of an orthodoxy that rules from above and tells you how you ought to think.”
