You'd need to shake off your anxieties of the outside world first champ.

Don't see why... I own a computer and have internet access. I could make ten videos of that quality in a few hours.

CNN should be hiring atm, racist Anthony Bourdain has vacated a slot recently

Ruben on Rogan today

just a heads up

This isn't rare for Croydon mate lol

I don't know much about Rubin... he was a liberal, but now he's a classical liberal(or libertarian)?

I just watched the JRE clip of him on identity politics... he just sounds like a typical right-wing libertarian. I feel like he's been portrayed as a liberal who wants to have a conversation with the other side. Outside of social/cultural issues he seems to agree with most of the people he talks to.

Maybe I'll listen to the full podcast later... he doesn't strike me as interesting.

well it's always tough with labels and hopefully I get his backstory right from memory

he was liberal and worked with tyt

found out he's not that sort of liberal because tyt pretty much acts like foreign anti-trumpers that post here all the time

so then he started this classic liberal libertarian thing and built his business on pretty much interviewing the alt right or controversial figures and some typical well known conservatives to have "discussions"

the only problem i found is that he has almost zero pushback while interacting with these folks which just ends up with content that is the right walking over the pushover on his own platform

what I think he does represent well are the people like him and I and perhaps you? that get and feel pretty pushed out of all sides because of a more reasonable way of looking at things, ideas and issues over tribes, discussions without the over the top stuff

since political cannibalizing and gatekeeping are so popular now I feel if he does any good it's just existing as a moderate and sensible human being with an audience

define a typical right-wing libertarian and how does it differ from a typical left-wing libertarian

Gotcha. Yeah, he doesn't push back much, from the few interviews I've seen with right-wingers.

I don't feel I have to be represented from one side. I agree with Republicans on social issues, but those issues have been irrelevant practically from the federal level for the last couple decades. I think Democrats have a superior comprehensive platform, so ideally a Democrat president would have to deal with a Democrat House with a Republican senate who were willing to work with him.



How about you tell me your feelings on that and we can go from there.
