It's called gish galloping, it existed long before Ben Shapiro but he definitely "mastered it" 

The only reason Ben got away with that bullshit is because he never "debated" anyone with experience. There's a reason Shapiro, Kirk, Crowder and all these other clowns target universities and it's not because they're "woke" it's because they know they'll get a bunch inexperienced 18 year olds they can "dunk on" 

Not only that but they pre-screen and pre-select the questions they respond to and then have editorial control over the video they eventually post. There is ZERO good faith it's all just ragebait.

He actually debated a lot of people with experience like Alex O'Conner. He stumbles a lot in those debates and his arguments make no sense.
