    I have such a deep personal disgust for Dave Rubin. I knew this man’s family, I’ve had dinner with him and his husband and had political conversations with him back when he was still pretending he was some kind of centrist. I’ve seen him repeatedly bring me up in online arguments in favor of trans rights and against transphobic discrimination.

    But he’s a fucking grifter, so that all went out the door I guess.

    Fuck you Dave Rubin, Uncle Röhm piece of shit.

    edit: also his Yoda impression fucking sucks there I said it.

      He really does seem like the type to believe in literally nothing other than making money and being the focus of attention

      You’re probably one of the few people on earth who knows exactly how the trans person who knew jd vance in law school feels. That sucks though, fuck Dave Rubin. May he be deeply unhappy surrounded by fascists that don’t think he’s human.

          As much as I hate the stochastic terrorism potential and that it’s just an antisemitic conspiracy theory recycled… the idea of losers lying awake tortured at the idea that the trans own the world? Kinda funny.

    Is this real? If it is, it’s spectacularly racist. Like more overtly so then I would expect from Rubin, who cosplays as a moderate.

    /edit holy shit it’s real. The Kamala character was a stereotype of an African tribal who could not talk and made only animal noises. He waved around a spear and casted hexes on his opponents. This tweet is like one degree of overt racism below just straight up calling Kamala Harris the n-word.

      FD signifier did a pretty good video essay on the history of black characters and performers in wrestling, particularly WWE. As you said, it was really bad, and still is kind of suspect sometimes. I recommend giving it a watch, even if you’re not into wrestling.

          I first saw his video on white anxiety when Bo Burnham’s Inside was all the rage, and it was refreshing to see somebody not completely dunk on it, but also putting it into the context of the breakdown of the liberal facade of welfare for white folx, making them suddenly realize what all marginalized peoples have known for ages. Been a fan ever since.

    Oh. I’ve taken psychic damage from this post. Thanks, I guess.

    Let me write out some of my thoughts on this.

    First, obviously Dave Rubin doesn’t believe this. This is hog slop. This is slop for hogs. This isn’t serious, by any definition of that word. No one truly thinks this. The “Ugandan Giant”? Kamala isn’t particularly large and she wouldn’t do well in pro wrestling. You can actually trace her career, because she’s been a politician for decades. But. Despite all the obvious reasons why these two people are obviously different people, there’s at least one fucking weirdo on the internet who is going to believe this stupid fucking theory and make it a cornerstone of their identity. Fuck.

    Ok Dave Rubin, I’ve thought about it, and I’ve come to the conclusion it’s nothing more than a mildly amusing coincidence. What of it?

    This isn’t surprising they’re doing this. There’s a significant number of chuds that think Michelle Obama is actually a man, and that’s why Obama pushed for gay marriage, or whatever.

    I love how this dumbass acts as if this coincidence could mean anything at all

    James Harris was actively wrestling for the WWE at the same time Kamala Harris was visibily starting her career as prosecutor

    James Harris died a month after Kamala Harris was nominated as VP

    Like these people know how time works right
