The Necons and ADL would call George Washington an antisemite today just based on his foreign policy. Read his Farewell Address. It's incredibly isolationist.

That is the truth. Anyone, to include Smith, that repeats the lie of “open air” prison is a mentally weak individual.

I agree. Murray is very bright, I don't understand why he took that stance during their discussion. Just had a bad day I suppose. He's usually much better.

He’s another Israel shill for the most part. The government even gave him an award for his reporting. I’m fine with him being a shill, but he needs to stop pretending he’s an objective party and stop saying that you can’t have an opinion on something unless you’ve been full immersed in the subject for some long period of time.

Like I said, I think he conducted himself like a douchebag. But Murray has spoken and written extensively on a wide variety of social/cultural/political/demographic issues for 2+ decades and has often been well ahead of the curve/mainstream on those. He's smart and it strikes me as silly to believe otherwise.

I've never heard Dave Smith say anything particularly insightful or novel, even if I agree with him on plenty of stuff. Sometimes there are people who largely regurgitate other ideas but do it in a more approachable/compelling/etc. way, and frankly, I don't see that from Smith either.

No he didn’t. Praeger used the same argument that has been used a thousand times and everyone has heard it.

Dave has his faults but his complete dismantling of Chris Cuomo on PBD was a thing of beauty. Cuomo still hasn’t recovered.

While I agree his ideas aren’t typically novel ones, he’s probably currently one of the best and most effective vehicles of said ideas.

In a sense, but at what cost?

To me that's like saying MAGA influencer accounts are effective vehicles of the ideas underlying the new right.

I agree they get some of the concepts out there, but if they're contorted and meekly evidenced but said in a way that resonates with a particular audience, is that a win?

Electorally, maybe (see the influencers for Trump). But in terms of ideological roots to pay long term dividends - I'm much less certain. We're almost creating competing, dumber shadows of good ideas that seem inevitable to war with one another.

Debate bros like Smith aren’t looking for any truth or enlightenment. They’ve found a vehicle to gain clicks a popularity and they use tactics like deflections, reframing, trick boxes that the click bait shows they go on love because idiots flock to stuff like that. He never wins an argument or debate and anyone with any knowledge embarrasses him. A lot of us predicted that the “podcast election” would have consequences and the rise of idiot influencers is the first consequence.

I’m sorry, but the Zionists debate just like the Covidiots. They repeat the same message a thousand times, if you don’t buy it then they’ll call you a Jew hater/grandma killer, and tell you to ignore your lying eyes and ears and turn off your brain. I’m supposed to believe that Mossad had no idea October 7th was going to happen and it took them four hours for the IDF to mount a defense? Really?

“Zionist” a repurposed leftist term. You spew propaganda not even knowing it and you’re hypocritically claiming people you don’t agree with are doing exactly what the people you do are actually doing. You’re the prime example of what I’m talking about

It was pretty easy to be an isolationist in 1796. It took 2-3 months to cross the ocean back then. It is incredibly intellectually dishonest to think isolationism in 1796 and 2025 are even remotely comparable.
