I'm pretty sure Dave Rubin was on The Young Turks well before the rest of them made their appearance in media. So I don't really know how they helped Rubin out of obscurity.
I don't really watch him so he's doing a poor job of appealing. I've probably seen about as much of Rubin as I have Harris and Rogan.
Tim Pool doesn't appeal to me. You can check my posts in his thread if you don't believe me. I think the guy is as retarded as Rogan.
When he started up on Youtube, he was with ORA and he had the smallest handful of subscribers, sub-10k. The guy used to be a semi-frequent commentator on David Pakman, of all outlets, because he was building out his network. Sam Harris was one of his first and biggest guests, especially when he broke away from ORA, and his big-big break was almost certainly the Peterson tour, which fomented from the soup that was 2016.
There are a lot of people competing for the attention from your segment of the political sphere, so it's good that you don't waste it on Dave or Pool. But I really don't know who you're wasting it on if your concern is this:
So you're saying you want me to argue with examples from decades ago? Okay then. How about the Dems calling Tiger Woods, Clarence Thomas, Condoleezza Rice and Thomas Sowell oreos?
The same exact response comes up - yeah, there's plenty of yuppies that do that, and they catch flak from lefties who don't think communism is the coolest thing ever and have never read a "zine." Progressive in particular have a core of bourgeois racism which lashes out at "problem minorities," but discourse and critique about this behavior has ranged from the most blithe neoliberal centrist to the most obnoxious socialist. They're never going to get as much traffic online as the blasé shit, and no conservative outlet is ever going to highlight someone going into the paint against them.
Yeah, I totally believe this.

Come on down to Pennsylvania, be white, and don't look deterred when they slip in an edgy joke here or there - soon enough with a few drinks, it does not take long to make someone feel secure enough to express their disdain for welfare hogs, that they want anyone hopping the border to be shot, etc. etc. I can point you to a few skinhead joints where punk bands (and whatever weird amalgamations have replaced them) got into dick-measuring fights with the owners and where you'll get a nod for wearing the right nordic black metal patches to. You have to be sleeping or uninterested in finding this stuff to think it ain't out there.
But I, again, don't make the assumption that this somehow represents some "core" of the right, nor is it revelatory that the people going "the left are the real racists" have a curious ability to wholly gloss over expressions of racism on their aisle. It's just being awake on a day that ends in -y.
