Rubin (Part 1)

[sqweezel]

People actually used to listen to this nut job? He needed a padded room.

[andrelebaron]

the bottom line is this generation created a giant mountain of debt and still wants to pretend otherwise and will do anything to shift the responsibility for paying it back.

[yukonnoka]

It's true that many people from that time turned out to be fakes just looking to get high, but that wasn't true about Abbie. Read his biography. He got arrested and spent time in jail for his convictions about American justice. And he genuinely tried to get the other sell outs from his time to radicalize and become outlaws. Have you ever read STEAL THIS BOOK? I mean it's way more radical than any of this modern hipster liberal bull shite. Also check out Abbie's pal Phil Ochs. Now HE was 4 real

[leucotomy101]

bertrand russell was a eugenicist 

[boxeo911]

I find it hard to believe the Jerry Rubin of the Yippie movement wouldn't refer to 1980s business entrepreneur Jerry as a sellout. However, I don't hold it against him, or disregard his earlier sentiments simply because he was changed by the coarse his life took. Yippie Rubin was fond of saying you should never trust anyone over 30.

[Traductus5972]

@boxeo911 he didn't sellout he was just using the system to against itself to improve others

[WeNeedA3rdParty]

My peers today don't question authority or structures the way kids did in the 60s. It's really sad. We were raised to be compliant resume builders. We sit by as America is absolutely fucking pillaged without even so much as a peep. I may move to Canada, fuck this shit.

[jarred160788]

@WeNeedA3rdParty It's exactly the fucking same in Australia. Jerry would be fucking outraged if he saw how fucking co-operative and complacent most of Gen Y are. Take a fucking stand, cunts!

[Resenbrink]

Rubin was a publicity seeking loudmouth who promoted drugs. 

[spacepatrolman]

@Resenbrink When I heard him he was promoting psychology and that political candidates disclose what drugs they are takeing

[Sydwayman]

@Resenbrink You believe your thoughts are intelligent enough to type and post. You are a loudmouth who promotes ignorance.

[KelSnoopy]

Look at this cat, he looks like Rich Rubkin! :D

/watch?v=uv5KyzXJGXI&feature=r­elated

[Traductus5972]

everyone says Jerry was a sellout but honesty he wasn't he was an entreprenuer of small businesses. plus he fought for putting wealth in depressed areas in the country.

[brandonallman111]

thank you DOC, footage like this is not neing put out to this generation of youth and becuase of you maybe some smart individuals will stop and watch this and relize how fucked up the constraints of goveremnt and tradition over human life really is. thank you

[ujayboydog]

rubin's meandering rambling doesn't have a message. he was a fairly smart fella but he doesn't seem to have convers with smart people except when he is mocking. the cat was an asshole.

[RastafariPoet]

He was a 1776 American. The TRUE America. The reason you dont see much of this kind. Is because 1776 was a long while ago lol

[PrinceBen]

This is awesome.

[TheWho1231]

We need more Jerry s and Abbie s in todays society.

[bwanna23]

Jerry, Abbie and the Yippies were great fun in their time. As narcissistic and obnoxious as they may seem, what they were doing in the context of this time period, was shaking the foundation of a socio-political mind-set that valued brutality and barbarism over peaceful co-existence and cooperation. If they seemed a little anxious to get their point across, it's because they were.

[SHMUJEW]

now were peaceful with barbarians who murder their own populaces?

[bwanna23]

be more specific.

[chinchonchinchon]

Yes, today those vo8ices are being silenced. These fellows were really nasty, yet as you say they communicated a needed message fot those days and today it's imperative to stop this foolish Iraq war.

[KevinSean116]

Typical sociopath; thinks he is all too important. Truth is it was all about him...

[glennjridge]

ugh, these type of people were all complaining no answers. its difficult watching men act like girls. is it any wonder ALL of these types boringly fizzled out without a bang?

[DropThought]

Yippie movement coming back. Who's down? DT from NorCal

[RastafariPoet]

[tobeedetermined]

[NewMorningWorld]

New Morning

[nickvanzetti]

a part of the illuminati!

[FredFredBurger53]

Rubin Wasnt a part of the illuminati it is bush nixon etc who are a part of the illuminati

[LiquidNihilism1]

he's got some good words, even if later on he changed courses, he still had alot to say during the part of his life where he was doing this speech.

[kaylagayyla]

sell out!!!

he had such good ideals.

but sold out.

it makes me sad

[katyscreations]

Don't forget this guy grew up and became a capitalist.

[unconventionalmeans]

That's true! He did just that! How ironic, huh? lol But what's even more ironic is that he was killed thumbing his nose at society...he got run over by a car while jaywalking! lol Unreal!

BTW...doesn't Jerry Rubin look like Chuck Manson in this video? lol

[hellpartyboy2008]

Gotta dig both those guys..Charlie and Jerry...and Abbie..haha

[unconventionalmeans]

Yeah, well....I don't know if I'd say I "dig" Charles Manson.

[robnum1]

Youth, please note, if you want to grow up rich and capitalist, be a hippie first!

[Glyvxx]

Thats why neo hippies are so scary. Because you know, in a few years their going to be the yuppy elite.

Basically their motto is "fight the establishment now, become it later"

[mancheromanchero]

did ever occur to you that rubin acted alone in his somewhat unbeleivable changing process from a yippie to a sell out? Did it ever ponder on "why" he became what he became?.......Rubin, in my view, tried to infitrate the interior of the system in order to destroy it. and to infiltrate the interior of the sys. you must become just like your enemy.

[catsboyscandy]

Turning his back on everything he believed and stood for, was probably more revolutionary than holding on to hippie values, whatever that is supposed to mean. It's great to be part of movements, but it's even better to be an individual. Yes, I am against capitalism and I don't think that every hippie grows away from their ideals. Rubin at least threw them away, instead of lying about how they were "continuing to resist oppression" as most did, which is what you are insinuating, or should be.

[btlzfan]

oh my god, i could marry this man

[dwendt66]

No, you can't. He has been taking a dirt nap since 1994.

[pupunegro]

si donde lo conseguistes???

[dwendt66]

Anybody of you interested in videos of Jerry Rubin as a guest on Phil Donahue's show in 1970?

[pupunegro]

bueno si...

[stargate121]

What film is this from?
