This is a huge wall of text when all you need to say is that Ben Shapiro is a right wing grifter and nothing he says should be taken seriously.
It's never for Ben himself, even if he did happen to somehow find this thread. He's either a complete grifter that knows better or high on his own supply and has deluded himself about these things. Or both. Who it is for is the people that may see this as a "common sense" nugget of wisdom that may never examine it critically or those who are fed up with these over simplified "solutions" to their problems and just need to see that others aren't taking this reversal of blame from systems and authority onto the individuals stuck under them without push back.
It doesn't feel wrong to come to the conclusion that "if things are too hard to get by here and they are easier over there, then you should go over there." That sounds entirely reasonable, because if the problem were that simple, it would be. But the problem just isn't that simple and pretending it is is the grift. That's why folksy wisdom like this is so rarely related to reality. Life is layered and messy and complicated and FUCKING EXPENSIVE. No solution in the real world is simple, and even less so when you are broke.
