Conservative Rubin guest really needs to shut up about fascism

[Mac1958]

This is hilarious.

Loyal & obedient MAGA mouthpiece Dave Rubin had conservative James Lindsay (look it up) on his podcast, and the first 45 seconds are awesome.

Lindsay is talking about the danger of MAGA going too far, and HE brings up fascism TWICE in the first 39 SECONDS.

Finally Rubin figures he has to jump in to push him off track and says "it's just Trumpism" (which ain't exactly a great thing to say right after the word "fascism" has been tossed out there). Suddenly Lindsay backs off.

It is what it is. Just be honest.

How honest is Mac?
I'm thinking not very.
Especially with this disingenuous thread.

Just be honest.

Irony so thick a continental engineer can't cut it.

They don't appear to like that video so far.

Never heard of James Lindsay.

Dave Ruben is a homosexual. He isn’t “conservative”. He even admits he is a liberal at 1:50 and that he is not a traditional conservative.

Democrats desperately hunt for chips like this they think furthers their fascist narrative.

If fascism and racism were as rampant as Democrats believe, examples like the OP would be irrelevant. There would be much worse to choose from.

Mac1958 still thinks Adam Kinzinger and Liz Cheney are conservatives.

James Lindsay has forgotten more about Marxism than most people ever bother to learn.

He is NOT Conservative and has admitted to that hundreds of times.

Dave Rubin converted to Conservatism after learning just how fucking pathetic the left really is. Much like the broad from the Young Turks converted as well.

Just another worthless POS link full of dribble not even worth clicking on?

Fascism should be capitalized.

People should look it up. As Inigo Montoya famously said in the Princess Bride, "I don't think that word means what you think it means."

Regardless of the source, "Fascism" intrinsically includes an element of RACISM. Trump's "racism" is purely imaginary. Indeed most Leftists are left with mouth agape when asked to name a single racist thing that Donald Trump has ever done. NOTE: Valid criticism of a POC is not proof of racism.

So his "authoritarianism"..

Honest?!? Gaslighting has become mainstream in our political environment. Mac, the honesty ship sailed long, long ago.

We'll see what happens. They've become more and more bold about what they really are since 2016, and now there are no constraints.

I don't expect them to admit to fascism (they clearly don't even know what it is), and they certainly won't admit to being "useful idiots", but they're become more honest about wanting no restrictions on their Jesus 2.0™.

They want to be ruled and cared for by a King and his oligarchs, and we're just about there.

Magaturds wish to reimagine society in the US as their boring, saccharine, uncurious, white, X-tian influenced idea of culture. A sphere of nostalgia for a time that never existed. They co-opted 'Woke' to protest against anything and anybody not falling in line. Woke becomes everything not resembling this idea, and it becomes "okay" to inflict tyranny upon it.

But the other political tribe are the True Fascists ™ here.

I've tried to listen to James Lindsay's podcast, and while he may be anti-woke and anti-marxist... his beliefs certainly don't align with mine. There are things he is right about, but I would say his work is on a level that neither makes him fish or fowl...

You can hear his podcast here and decide for yourself...

James Lindsay

An American-born author, mathematician, and professional troublemaker, Dr. James Lindsay has written six books spanning a range of subjects including religion, the philosophy of science and postmodern theory. He is a leading expert on Critical Race Theory, which leads him to reject it...

Well, that's a big part of the problem. Nothing is thought through. Ask for anything deeper than half an inch and we're into Flat Earth/Qanon/Alex Jones/Internet Mal-information territory. I've heard enough.

His name is Rubin, and he is conservative, but on the libertarian side of conservatism. Its natural for libertarians to be concerned with the fascist tendencies of maga.

What I gathered from that first minute or so was how this was yet another example of how the NEW RIGHT (!!!!!) has far much more nuanced and intellectual conversations - with the allowance of divergence of thought - than anything you can compare it to on the Left hand side of contemporary politics.

That's what happens when you're a TDS addled MSM zombie - any deviation from a somehow perceived "norm" MUST BE A GOTCHA MOMENT!

 

[RhodyPatriot]

His name is Rubin, and he is conservative, but on the libertarian side of conservatism.

He actually used to be a Democrat.

Like me.

Then he went MAGA.

There's a lot of us out there.

We figured out that, in some ways, we were more conservative than we realized.

And in others, MAGA is just an eminently superior movement than the old stale Bush GOP.

Oh...

And the Left went full on fucking nuts.
