 Dave Rubin is a very stupid person But I think he's at least smart enough to realize that his right-wing audience that used to enjoy basic conservative arguments They're shifting further and further to the right. I think that the right in America is Collectively shifting further and further to the right and if you're a political commentator on the right and you want to satiate their appetite for right-wing commentary You've got to get a little bit more extreme yourself You can't just use these old arguments about taxes and small government You actually have to get a little bit more racist be a little bit more explicit in the way you pander and appeal to Racists and white supremacists and this is what we're going to see Dave Rubin do for I think the first time So he's not going to use a new argument, right? He's gonna deny institution institutional racism in this clip that we're about to watch and he's done this before So it's not new but what we're going to see here is he's gonna tweak his argument tweak the rhetoric that he uses Change some words ever so slightly so you can barely notice but this shift is just enough To appeal more directly to a very specific group of people white nationalists and If you accept his argument if you buy what he's selling you then the implication is oh my god White people are under attack. I mean this is Tucker Carlson's grift lately, right? There's the great replacement and whites are being erased So if you listen to what Dave Rubin is saying and Tucker Carlson You start to really form this idea in your head that oh my god if white people are under attack. What do we do? It's almost like we need our own state maybe a white ethno state Unfortunately for Dave Rubin, I don't think that he himself wants this since gays are not welcome But I don't necessarily think that His rhetoric in his opinion is going to lead to his supporters his viewers wanting this Because I think that he believes there's a limit to the rights radicalization, right? You can only shift so far to the right and then you hit a wall Except as we've seen with Donald Trump over the last year there is no wall Trump threatened to use the insurrection act to violently crush protests and they wanted that to happen Republican legislatures across the country are cracking down on voting rights criminalizing protests and Republicans love that so You only become You know so extreme to where you just start outright advocating for authoritarianism and democracy is no longer compatible with your ideology and That's what we're seeing from right-wingers, and I don't think that Dave Rubin even realizes that he is contributing to this You know it might be subconscious But he knows that he's got a he's got to get a little bit more extreme to stay relevant and This is what we're gonna see in this clip. Take a look man Well first of I want to congratulate AOC because we played a video of her yesterday where she had complete word salad Nothing. She said made anything close to any sort of sensible sentence. So I'll give you credit where it's due lady but Meaning that she did string together a couple words that kind of made sense there But it was all dribble everything that she said there first off We do not have systemic and institutional racism. There are no laws in the United States That are racist against any one person by the way I do believe that the woke left that the progressives will instigate laws that will be racist against people They will start having anti-white laws. This is not a crazy conspiracy theory. They're for quotas already We know that they don't want a certain amount of Asian people because they're overrepresented at Harvard Well, these are the places where to all these bad ideas that leak out into science society They start at the university level. So if you're going to say we in the government We are gonna have diversity and inclusion departments where we are going to hire based on the color of skin Then you are going to Discriminate against a certain set of people which in most cases will be white people, right? It will mostly be white people. It will be Asian people as well Obviously now this clip was posted to Twitter by Jason Campbell and I don't know what AOC clip in particular Dave Rubin is referencing I think that if you say sometimes AOC is not clear and even uses word salad to describe things I think that that's fair, right? The Israel Palestine interview comes to mind I want her to do better I want her to do more research and become more well-versed to really speak intelligently about these very important issues Related to foreign policy Israel Palestine Having said all of that though if I'm Dave Rubin and I spew nonsense and vomit out the dumbest most banal bullshit On a daily basis am I ever going to point out somebody else's word salad and stupidity? I'm keeping my mouth shut about that Because Dave Rubin How many times have we clowned on him for not just making incoherent arguments, but just saying things that are downright fucking stupid I mean, this is the man who coined the term high-level ideas He literally said my brain is going into recovery mode from taking in so many important high-level ideas who says things like that That's stupid. That's weird ideas So he should never ever criticize anyone else for having word salad until he stops vomiting out word salad himself But moving on to the substance of his argument here You have to be a simpleton to accept his argument so he denies the existence of institutional and systemic racism and The basis for that the grounds to deny the existence of institutional racism is because there's no law on the books in America that explicitly is Racist there's no law that says black people can make six dollars an hour Whereas white people can make seven twenty five an hour because white people are superior. There's no law of that nature except The world is not black and white and this analysis to even say that it's elementary Would be a little bit of an insult to elementary school children because I think even they have more rational and critical thinking skills than that So today Ruben he can see our entire drug war our racist criminal justice system He can see that even though whites and blacks use drugs at comparable rates blacks are statistically much much more likely To get jailed for doing drugs than their white peers But you see that's not actually evidence of institutional racism Because the drug laws in America don't specifically say that police officers have to lock up blacks more so than than white people Until it says that then sorry You've got no evidence of institutional racism wash your hands case closed There's no other macro or micro factors. You have to look into we don't have to look at social economic conditions whether or not police Officers patrol black and brown communities at higher rates than white communities and wealthier communities All of that is is moot because the law doesn't say anything that leads us to believe it's explicitly racist And even if the outcome itself is racist The law doesn't say That it's racist so case closed checkmate Who thinks like this this is Idiotic logic. It's the lack of logic. It's the absence of logic It's so irrational and stupid to think this way that There's no way he actually believes this like this is a man that used to be a liberal So I think that he knows at least Some of the details some of the arguments some of the rationalizations that prove That institutional racism is a thing because it is but I don't know maybe he's playing more of a character Maybe he's playing up his ignorance. I'm not sure but either way It's fucking dumb now. He says by the way, I do believe the woke left the progressives will instigate laws that will be racist against people They will start having anti white laws. Now. I need you to understand that saying anti white That is a change right it might be subtle and a lot of folks might not notice it But he's not saying maybe we'll start seeing reverse racism He's invoking the white identity very specifically and yes, he does claim to be against identity politics frequently But he's using the word white and that's intentional That's very very intentional because he's speaking to white people. Hey, you're under attack and the evidence Well, he doesn't have much evidence, but the one example he cites is affirmative action and It's convenient that he denies the existence of institutional racism because contrary to popular belief affirmative action is about addressing institutional racism It's not about Advantageing or privileging black and brown and minority communities against white Americans what affirmative action aims to do is Make education and jobs more equitable Make it so that way historically disadvantaged communities who didn't have access to capital Didn't have access to opportunities to actually find well-paying jobs and get a college education Make sure they actually have a fighting chance And so it doesn't mean that if you apply to a college and if you are African-American You're gonna get admitted over a white person. I mean there were cases Litigated to the Supreme Court that absolutely dispelled this dumb fuckery What it means is that if you are from a marginalized community then your identity can be part of the cluster of qualifications when used to determine your Admittance into an institution or whether or not you're gonna be hired as part of a job. So it's not just oh, hey, you're black Welcome, you're hired. That's not the way that affirmative action actually works in practice It's okay. This person studied really hard. They did a lot of extracurricular activity They volunteered it seems like they're really their attendance was phenomenal in high school And also they happen to be from a historically disadvantaged group whose family didn't have many opportunities That's another consideration. That's great. That's another benefit to Accepting this individual that's the way that it works in practice, but simple things like Dave Rubin take it as This is reverse racism. This is anti-white. It's a caveman argument and it's fucking dumb It's as dumb as it sounds Dave Rubin is a if anything Related to politics goes a little bit deeper than the surface level He checks out you can't go deeper than the surface level just analyze everything at face value Take away what you think is the most obvious even though it's the dumbest conclusion and That's it. You you rest your case. That's that's his level of political analysis It's a Marjorie Taylor Greene level of political analysis And I love how he he very frequently on his program. He attacks the so-called woke left Hey, Dave, who was it again that fought for you to get the right to marry a man? Was it your buddy Glenn Beck? Was it any of your right-wing pals Candace Owens Ben Shapiro? They absolutely did not and they still don't support your right to marry So you should thank the woke left for making sure that you're a little bit more equal and the tacit reverse Racism argument that you're using Dave to pander to white nationalists This is what your right-wing buddies still use against the LGBTQ plus community your own community dummy Do you know why my cockabee is against the equality act? It's because he says that it will grant gays special rights and with these special rights They're gonna be on a higher footing than their heterosexual and cisgender counterparts So because business is in America if the equality act were to pass could no longer discriminate on the basis of Gender identity or sexual orientation. That's actually special rights and because The LGBTQ plus community is getting these special rights We're actually the ones who are getting oppressed businesses are being discriminated against if they can't discriminate on the basis of Gender identity and sexual orientation and if that sounds familiar It's because this is the same argument that Dave Rubin repeatedly uses against affirmative action It's the same logic behind him denying institutional racism now Dave Rubin conveniently enough He probably wouldn't support the equality act because he said before that if there was some business owner That was Christian and didn't want to bake him and his husband a cake for whatever that he just go to another Cake or a baker or whatever cake decorator Except you live in California. You live in Southern, California, don't you in a very rich area I don't think you're gonna run into issues So it's really easy for you to talk the talk when you haven't walked the walk You haven't lived as a gay man who's out and proud in Mississippi or Alabama That's who laws like the equality act would actually affect but getting back to his point and getting back to this discussion about quote anti-white policies and reverse racism what this really is about is if we end institutional racism and If we make it so that way black Americans are on more equal footing with whites not given special rights Just equality then that's bad for white people like Dave Rubin who want to sit at the tippy top of the social hierarchy I mean not having more privilege than black Americans in every single conceivable way to them That's oppression to them that makes them the victim to them They cry and they claim it's reverse racism Affirmative action is reverse racism because I no longer imprivileged over people who are historically denied To what I haven't had as much as of an issue accessing so Dave Rubin is a fucking clown Who doesn't realize what he's doing here? You might want to pander to white nationalists to make a few bucks But if right wingers got what they wanted if your ideology was imposed on society your ideology would exclude you dipshit It would exclude your husband So I just I don't understand how Given his position as a gay man He could be so Obtuse about this, but I don't necessarily think He is unaware of it I think he's being purposefully obtuse because right now at least it's really convenient because you could chill for the ride and You could buy a mansion you can have probably some really fancy luxury cars. You live the life of celebrities But in the end what he's doing is damage and even though he's a dumbass he's at least aware that he is hurting himself and he has to live with that every single day and I don't think any amount of money can erase that from somebody's conscious
