Although this thread does not function under the same strict guidelines as the USPMT, it is still a general practice on TL to provide a source with an explanation on why it is relevant and what purpose it adds to the discussion. Failure to do so will result in a mod action.

wait, you don't like the Rubin report? he's had tons of awesome guests on there and they get a good amount of time to talk about what they are about. Dave can sometimes be a bit cringey but What's your issue with it exactly?

Anyway's that I enjoy that interview because i hadnt seen much on Bernier not totally sold on the guy but it was at least interesting.

Rubin will have white nationalist ethnostate types like Stefan Molyneux on his show without even a hint of challenge to their awful racist bullshit and then try and present it as centrism.
He is a nazi sympathizer in the truest meaning of the word.

I'm not sure those two things are exclusive. I bet centrists agree with him more than they'd like to admit, at least judging by who I see retweet him when he's not talking to nazi's. Many centrists argue Nazi's should be defeated on the battlefield of ideas over here, not sure how that works over there besides Germany where they make them use Confederate flags or something instead?

It was big when Alex Jones got booted of a bunch of platforms

Wow "nazi sympathizer" is not a term id use to discuss Dave Rubin the gay jewish man but maybe i'm out of touch. You know hes done a lot more interviews then just the Stefan Molyneux one right, The larry elder ones are great, the larry king episode also solid a more recent one is the Imam Tawhidi I found very interesting. Again To each there own but I think you may be drinking the wrong coolaid if you think Dave Rubin is a "nazi sympathizer".

Rubin is a garbage human. He is actively making the world a worse place and he does so solely to turn a profit for himself, and there is zero chance he is unaware that this is what he's doing. Started as a progressive on TYT, demanded 100k for a 30min segment per week (that was nowhere near what other people were making on TYT at the time for a lot more work than that), then jumped on the "I left the left" classical liberal "centrist" train when he thought that would be more profitable than TYT, and now that he's funded by the Koch brothers suddenly he likes nothing but the libertarians and the fascists. Hope the money is worth it.

Isn't TYT funded by some massive billionaire backer? I dunno anyways I don't agree with you at all about him making the world worse but as I said , to each his own. You shouldn't write off every guest he has just because you don't like the host, that seems petty and you might miss out on someone who really speaks to your ideals.

TYT is mostly funded by members but they do have some backers, you're right. If you can show that their views have been influenced by that reality, have at it. I have not seen that but I also don't watch them a lot anymore, they're not as leftwing as I'd like. That should tell you enough about whether Rubin's guests speak to my ideals.

Either way the case is extremely easy to make for Rubin, he has zero consistency to his views and his changes of opinion just happen to coincide with his changes of moneymaking schemes. He is unarguably a sellout, and he sells out for the worst. Including Bolsonaro. Imagine going to Brazil as a gay man and saying that Bolsonaro is a cool dude and he only looks bad because the media is doing some leftist conspiracy against him. God I hope the money's worth it.

If there is one thing I have learned in the last few years is that there is a nearly unlimited supply of people for me to listen to on a given subject. So when a show/person hosts known racists/white nationalist ethnostate without even trying to challenge their views, it is pretty easy to get information from literally any place else.

"I have not seen that but I also don't watch them a lot anymore, they're not as leftwing as I'd like. That should tell you enough about whether Rubin's guests speak to my ideals." thats a fair point ,if TYT isnt left enough for you I'd have to agree with you that it's gonna be hard to find a a guest you would match up with.

Kinda off topic but on topic, I feel like we need to have some sort of western cultural / media thread or something to discuss these things rather then any of the political forums getting into these type of things which does happen fairly often.


EDIT:
It's been a while since I watched the Stefan episode It was posted on nov 9th 2017 but If I remember right he did comment to SM that his views on IQ and such were controversial. Maybe that's not enough push back for you guys but as it goes by listening to someone speak your able to decide for your self if their idea's are bad or not.

The entire concept of Western cultural media is fraught with complications on its own. We have had the discussion of what “western culture” in the US pol thread and how that term has been promoted by some of the worst actors in the political sphere.

Edit: Calling Stefan's views of IQ controversial is some weak ass shit. His views on IQ are straight up out of racism 101.

The act of providing a speaker with a platform is itself a kind of speech that inherently privies those chosen, particularly those who would otherwise have a hard time finding public media access. There is a reason why many “reputable” interviewers do not give shitbags like Molyneux a platform, and the fact that Rubin not only gave him a platform, but allowed him to spit bile without challenge says a lot about Rubin’s own views, views that Nebuchad summarized well above.

As I just mentioned above, the parties official message was much better than the tweets.


Twitter is a bad forum for politics. Who knew?

Pretty good one to get the opinions of the MPs but ill remember your opinions when you comment on trumps twitter. Also notice how I follow up with corrections comparer to you who just keeps spouting ill informed opinions as facts and bad one liners.

Much like the world didnt name Juan president. He named himself acting president as leader of the national assembly until fair elections can be held. And the (free) world supported that. You still cant get even the order right. Even after corrected multiple times. I mean it shows your level of knowledge when you made that 8 day comment which was clearly an opinion based on reading the title of an article and not the whole thing because I'm sure even you have the reading comprehension to have figured out what they meant if you actually read it.


Do you want to take something to calm down and then try reposting that to make some sort of coherent sense? And fear not, you'll find me quite coherent on Trump's twitter.

It's also quite amusing to see you having a go at my reading comprehension when I've explained to you my stance on multiple things in clear, simple language and you still don't get it. Something something stones something something glass houses. Your own reading comprehension seems to be at such a remedial level that despite multiple posters in multiple threads all expressing doubts at differing levels of complexity you still can't get your head around a multiplicity of viewpoints on your current obsession.

But by all means continue. Your foaming at the mouth is amusing. I'm so, so sorry that I committed the cardinal sin of not agreeing with you on the issue of Venezuala.

Also, are you actually arguing that twitter is a good forum for politics? Is that your view?


Yes it is my view that Politicians personal view on issues is indicated by tweets from their personal accounts.

It doesn't frustrate me that you disagree with me. It is frustrating that you know almost nothing on the subject and make sweeping statements of fact based on only your biases and assumptions. And your ignorance goes as far as you basing your opinion you treat as fact on the titles of articles you don't even bother to read.

It also shows a little bit about your character when you search my name to come attack me in here when you have never posted here before.


What? I didn't search your name! I wasn't even attacking you. I was making a pithy one-liner about twitter being a shit forum for politics! You were the one who took that neutral one-liner and actually did attack me.

NEWSFLASH: The world does not revolve around you, and I don't spare you the slightest thought.

The only people I've ever searched on TL were GH and XDaunt, in both cases because I was looking for some old posts they'd made and couldn't remember what threads they made them in.

Why shouldn’t they? Is the interviewer not capable of thought or drawing conclusions? If someone shows up on that stage and starts spouts white nationalist propaganda, should in the interviewer not point that out?

White Nationalist are not there for the debate. They are not there to have a discussion or have their ideas challenged. They are there to promote their view of the world and get more people to agree with them, while also making efforts to discredit anyone who opposes them. Any host that willfully unaware of this dynamic is either naïve, staggeringly stupid or willing to make money off White Nationalism.

I don't know. Haven't heard any retractions but I wouldn't have heard them. Did a quick Twitter search and found nothing so my guess is he lets that linger, that's his style.

I'll never tire of posting some Innuendo Studios I think. Here is the relevant one in this case!

You could start with the people who are blatantly lying on your show. Some interviewers would take issue with that, they would feel that it devalues their program.
