Dave Rubin: "Identity Politics Is Tearing Our Society Apart."

Dave Rubin and Peter Boghossian sit down at Dave's studio in Miami, FL to discuss the Trump-Biden runoff, Critical Social Justice Ideology, and the current state of the country. Dave shares his thoughts on the Trump-Biden runoff, why homelessness is not prevalent in Florida, and the breakdown of law and order in Democrat-run cities. He also discuss the Republican Party's shortcomings on messaging around abortion and elections.

At the Dissident Dialogues event this past weekend in Brooklyn, Michael Shellenberger did a presentation in which he cited the super high student truancy rate that has existed since Covid began and ended as one of the biggest challenges facing America. It was really eye-opening for me. Haven't heard anyone else talking about it, but it is so foundational. If parents and school administrators can't keep kids in school, the country is screwed, and schools are now encouraging walkouts for students who want to cheer on Hamas.

So, this is why...this is why we have such a divided country right now, it's shysters like Dave here. Miami, of course, does not have 480 homeless people. Any city could have impressive stats like that if they simply changed the way that homeless people are counted, as Mayor Suarez has. That 480 figure was a current count of people that were literally on the streets. A few thousand more were actually homeless in Miami at that time, but in shelters. Every city's homeless count would likewise be radically reduced if they simply changed the way that homeless folks are counted. Now, perhaps Dave simply isn't aware of this sleight of hand, but he should be if he's going to repeat these claims to his very large audience. The truth is that Florida has the 3rd highest population of the 50 states, & it also has the 3rd highest homeless population. But those are just objective facts, so let's toss those aside & reframe it as to paint the picture we want painted....it is 2024, after all, a post-truth America.

Legal pot here in Canada is not an issue. It didn't create new users, it just made current users not have to buy shit weed from shady dealers. The streets don't smell like pot, and there weren't any appreciable increases in crime. The detractors kept saying that people were going to start driving high (start? newsflash they already were) and there weren't any appreciable increases in pot-related traffic fatalities. Overall, life went on and was pretty much the same, except for potheads getting good shit and pot sellers getting paid legally, and the provinces gained a new revenue stream so that other taxes could be lowered or at least not raised. If the streets in the US smell like pot all the time, maybe that's a cultural issue and not a legality/policy one, because I've never noticed that problem here, nor did I notice it other places in the world where pot is regularly consumed. I don't even smoke pot, but I'm glad it's easily available for those who do. If the smell of weed smoke is your biggest problem with pot, then perhaps pot isn't that big of an issue.

[@jessi4894]

It is a cultural issue. People in Portland and Seattle are dirty and the streets and apartment hallways absolutely reek of it. I know because I fled from there to Texas. Not because of the pot, that was fine aside from the smell. But because of the cost of living, filth, homelessness, drugs, antifa, riots, employment opportunities, wages and liberal madness.

[@joeketa6352]

There aren't any big issues with legalized pot in the US, either. In Oregon, the biggest issue is that there's too much supply and people can't make enough money growing and selling it. Problems with marijuana use is just a conservative talking point. Dave Rubin has all of those talking points memorized and recites them at any available moment. He went from being a liberal shill to a conservative shill because he's a shill of a human being. 😁

[@dudeorduuude5211]

The streets smell like pot more frequently here aince it was legalized, what are you talking about, pothead?

[@PWMoze]

It's fascinating how Dave says people don't want to vote for Biden but can't bring themselves to endorse Trump. Here in the UK we have the same problem but politically the other way round: no one wants to vote conservative but can't bring themselves to endorse Starmer. It seems the voters in middle ground have become 'homeless' in both countries. The political elites in both countries do not represent the views, values or aspirations of the ordinary, non progressive, culturally conservative majority. We don't need different candidates, we need a different system.

Interesting take on the marijuana situation. I was a marijuana grower for many years under prohibition, and you know how it worked then? Pretty much like an an underground farmers market. It was chill, decentralized, and existed outside the control of the government, and largely flourished without the sensationalize negative consequences portrayed by the media. For every violent drug dealer, there were dozens upon dozens of people who lead quiet lives just growing a plant they loved and distributing it with honor. It was largely self-regulating.
