    “Comedian” Dave Rubin, most spineless, shameless dipshit on planet earth. The impressive thing is how he is completely unfazed by being completely humiliated by his interlocutors.

    That guy he’s arguing against, Parker, basically debates against random MAGA people for a living. I think I saw a comment from someone on one of these videos that he debates people for hours a day.

    The thing that I think he’s exceptionally good at is rattling off a bunch of surprisingly relevant facts like he did in this video. I’ve seen many other people try to quickly rattle off facts in a debate like that, and they almost always either stray off topic or end up exaggerating so much that it’s become a lie. But somehow Parker manages to avoid those things.

    Anyways, my point is that you’d have to be crazy to try to debate against Parker without knowing at least a few facts to support your point.

      Even before Steve Jobs created and popularized(poisoned?) the IPO gold rush technique all VC money now attempts to redo with every startup, and before Jack Welch turned every American company into entities that primary gain value through stock value manipulation not actually doing a business, and before Reagan had thoroughly rat fucked the American financial system to be a pure engine of capitalistic wealth and power consolidation it is today, it was still at best a scoreboard

      It’s an economic gauge for the small segment of society that gets more income from investments than they do from wages.

    It’s kind of funny watching these conservative “pundits” think they are there to “own” all the normal Americans (non-conservatives) and they either believe their bullshit so hard or they want to believe it. And then faceplant.

    For example, Scott Jennings. It’s funny to see cons trying to spin clips of him “owning” others on that panel or whatever.

      They’ve been watching decades of Faux News and other conservative programming, along with people like Charlie Kirk, that steamroll their opponents with bullshit, loaded questions, and Gish Gallop so heavily that there’s no possible way to disprove them in the time given - and that’s if they don’t just shout them down or outright ignore their rebuttal.

      So these wannabe “kirks” just try to mash the easy button without realizing how controlled the environments are in which the conservative pundits operate to prevent actual opposition.
