The most childish thing about Ben is that when Hollywood people ( grown ass adults) rejected the scripts he wrote (as a child) he decided to grow into an evil adult as a form of revenge.
Idk if he grew into it. If youve read any of his fiction books, then you know he was probably trying to write weird conservative propaganda movies in the same vein as Ayn Rand.
Its actually on the border of “so bad its good” man. One of the bad guys is a black guy who owns a barber shop that he sells crack out of that makes a deal with a democratic president to become a politician and through DEI and drug legalization and other liberal ideas becomes the dictator of New York. The catalyst of which is a police officer shooting a black child, which Ben bends over backwards to make this dude seem like the victim in the situation. He fails massively, because hes such a bad writer that this golden cop who’s a child killer that HE MADE UP AND PUT IN HIS PERFECT IMAGINARY SITUATION still is indefensible and inexcusable.
Also theres a bunch of motorcycle chapters and Shapiro ONLY refers to them as “hogs.” Like even in the narration. It’s cringey as all fuck man.
Not literal child cause his family is likely not as rabidly fascistic as him. They are all involved for generations in the arts. Likely liberal chuds with light progressive tendencies.
I thought he’d been in the fascist grifter industrial complex since he was a literal child?
Yeah since he was 17. So I guess he failed the movie thing while doing that.

I couldn’t have brought myself to read it so thanks for sharing that with me
