Caller Stumps Dave Rubin At Live Show

[@vVvExodusvVv]

John from Nebraska is about 50 years younger than I thought he was.

[@borzoiboskovic529]

The more I've listened to Dave Rubin the more I've come to understand his dialectic. First he counts on your stupidity. Then he counts on his own stupidity. Then he quotes platitudes. And after being struck with a blow like this to our amazement Dave Rubin will act the next day like nothing had happened except that he won the argument, rattling off the same nonsense as before. He really leaves me thunderstruck I don't know whether to be amazed at his fast talk or his talent for lying Gradually I've begun to hate Dave Rubin

[@duduoson1306]

[@TheKingOfJordan1]

Insults run off him like water off a raincoat

[@ot23234]

I've heard he debates you as he cries out in ignorance.

[@ot23234]

At first I could not help but be amazed at how short a time it took this great evil power within Dave's show to create a certain opinion even where it meant totally falsifying profound desires and views which surely existed among the public. In a few days a ridiculous episode had become a significant state action, while conversely, at the same time, vital problems fell prey to public oblivion, or rather were simply filched from the memory and consciousness of the masses. Thus, in the course of a few weeks it was possible to conjure up names out of the void to be a guest on the show, to associate them with incredible hopes on the part of the broad public, even to give them popularity which the really great man often does not obtain his whole life long; names which a month before no one had even seen or heard of, while at the same time old and proved figures of political or other public life, though in the best of health, simply died as far as their fellow men were concerned, or were heaped with such vile insults that their names soon threatened to become the symbol of some definite act of infamy or villainy. We must study this vile technique of Rubin's of emptying garbage pails full of the vilest slanders and defamations from hundreds and hundreds of sources at once, suddenly and as if by magic, on the clean garments of honorable men, if we are fully to appreciate the entire menace represented by these scoundrels of the media.

breakPRISM atShell nah I don’t think so tbh. He does mention that he hopes its true so he’s not taking the guy completely at his word. Did they ever fully verify this story btw??

[@brandon8045]

breakPRISM atShell wow I looked through the comments, it was Ghoul?? I’m sure I’ve heard of that guy before, what a massive scumbag. Still though, I think the call backfired because in the scope of things it doesn’t really prove anything other than allow the fash to pat themselves on the back for getting such a totally pathetic and counterproductive troll on a guy who was on a whole other level from them. Plus Michael’s reaction is still incredible real or not!

[@lollard]

I really like that question: How can you tell the difference between a government that legalizes drugs because it cares about individual liberty and a government that legalizes drugs because they believe it'll make the populace more docile and susceptible to government control? FASCINATING question to ask a libertarian. Never thought of that myself, so kudos to the caller for thinking of it.

[@andreww9511]

So true. Such a shame that most of us seem blinded by this, considering Aldous Huxley warned us of a similar scenario 90 years ago.

[@seanwhitaker484]

I agree, this is how it should've been framed. The examples he used are not needed and aren't analogous situations though. If Rubin had a brain he would've caught it.

Did anyone ever go into it further at all? That’d be an interesting discussion as someone who is pro drug legalisation.

[@milkmyduds]

No, it's a fucking idiotic question being asked by a Neo-Nazi. In each scenario the government forced those things onto people. What sensible people want to do (not just libertarians) is to not cage people for doing them. The solution is simple, you don't have the government genocide it's own people using drugs, alcohol, and porn to pacify people. Fyi, the caller's name is Cooper Ward AKA Ghoul, a member of the Alt-Right.

[@fatidicusaeternus6498]

@@milkmyduds HAHAHAHAH

[@averagejoe455]

The only reason I think it's a good question is because the government abuses everything that it touches. If we do remove their grip of power on personal freedoms, who's to say that they won't just find a way to use it like a tool for control? They already do with everything else.

[@idontcare8405]

NodNerb Nope those are third positionist talking points he’s making. Fascist are left wing on economics and right wing on social issues. He’s pointing out the inherently flaws of libertarianism where it allows capitalists to promote destructive social liberalism to the population to uphold capitalism. The inverse of Horkheimer’s thesis is true. Capitalism promotes social liberalism to control the population. This is true empirically just look at Netflix promoting cuties despite it being incredibly unpopular or amazon funding drag queen story hour. Capitalism thrives on individualism and hedonism by hypersexualizing the populous and stripping them of religion and ethnic identity all the workers have left is eat work buy consume till you die. There’s a reason why every major victory in the realm of workers rights occurred prior to the 1960’s.
