Russell Brand, Ana Kasparian & Getting Liberalism Wrong | Carl Benjamin

Dave Rubin of “The Rubin Report” talks to Carl Benjamin (also known as Sargon of Akkad) about his political awakening and the flaws built into liberalism; why he started making YouTube videos in response to feminist critiques of the video game industry; why liberalism, while valuable in recognizing state oppression, lacks a normative doctrine for daily life; the challenge of ideological awakening and changing one's beliefs; TYT’s Ana Kasparian’s recent waking up to the flaws in leftist ideology; why it’s so hard for people deeply embedded in left-wing ideology to break free from it; the escalating challenges to free expression online; his experience of being removed from Patreon; the government's involvement in pressuring tech companies to attack Russell Brand; how a global network of power with left-wing ideologies is attempting to control various aspects of society; if platforms like Rumble can succeed in preserving free expression on the internet; and much more.Show more
