First appearance since leveling and embarrassing Douglas Murray.

Dave didn’t level Murray. Murray leveled himself taking that tactic he used to debate Smith. (the qualification tactic) Stupid.

If Douglas had exhibited any common sense that day he could have wiped the floor with Dave.

Don’t get me wrong, I love Dave’s show and listen all the time. The fact is he can’t hold a candle to Murray intellectually.

Well, I guess everybody has an off day.

Right. I'm getting a little tired of him being a know-it-all, but I think he does a good job of communicating how the war machine works a little better than most podcast bros or influencers. I think it's also healthy to have some Jews call out Israel propaganda.

You have no proof to back any of these accusations, you’re just repeating shite. What’s more insane is if you fully game out all these theories it would lead to the annihilation of Israel so you’re essentially arguing that Bibi’s goal is to suicide himself and his nation. It’s clown logic

One of my biggest annoyances to the influence of people like Smith or even Rogan is that it's dumbing down other elements of the right to match their style and popularity.

(Rogan gets more of a pass from me because he didn't originate as overly ideological, at least on many topics)

All these people are failed at another profession so they’ve jumped on this circuit using previous relationships. The podcasters are always looking for clicks so they don’t care if the guests are qualified, they just want a fight. It’s an algorithm thing, there’s zero validity to it.

“Zionist” a repurposed leftist term


No, here is the actual term:

“a supporter of Zionism; a person who believes in the development and protection of a Jewish nation in what is now Israel”

And where am I wrong on my definition? I don’t use the term “Jew” because Jews have tons of different opinions and may disagree with Israel as has been seen in Tel Aviv. Most Zionists are Christians, not Jews. There are additionally millions of atheist and agnostic Zionists. The term is specific.

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


All you do is repeat what Israel tells you to repeat. Do you really think the Israeli government was taken by surprise on October 7th after all the shite Mossad has been doing the past two years?

You just described the entire MAGA influencer clique.

So the most ruthless intelligence agency in the world you don’t think knew they were planning a 9/11 in their own back yard? Got it.

It's wild to me that this most of this board trusts nothing from MSM, especially when it comes to Ukraine/Russia, but swallows mainstream narratives whole when it comes to our greatest ally.

I think my objection is that it's in a way intellectual cowardice. So much of it revolves around the lack of a central thesis because so many of the people doing it can't survive if backed into an intellectual/subject matter expertise corner. I know cowardice is a weird label to put on conversations that often touch on/hint at third rail topics, but it's the style du jour for the right at present and I don't know another way to classify it.

I say this as someone who finds plenty to "agree" with (or agree with what's being suggested coyly) in the noticing/just asking questions-type contingents, but you can't build any sort of meaningful movement/community/etc. around that style of advocacy IMO. Or, at least you can't expect it not to end up fractured and in disparate directions.

You have to use a pejorative to enhance your argument because the argument has no factual support.

i highly highly like Smith and I think he touches on the libertarian right very well.

My biggest criticism of him is that he waves away Hamas' atrocities in the same way that Shapiro waves away Israel's.

That being said, I'll always listen when he's on.

If it’s viewed as educational to someone that’s a problem

Murray lost that day by being arrogant and thinking that everybody who doesn't like Israel is just a muslim, pro-Hamas shill. He didn't know there are people who actually do pay attention to all the shitty things Israel has done for 70+ years.

I'm no bleeding heart on Palestine. They are in a bed of their own making, but Israel has been an a-hole for decades and it's unavoidable.

I disagree with Dave on a ton of stuff, but I think he actually believes what he says. I'll never look at Murray the same after that debate again.

He isn’t at all. I get some of you people hate him because he’s a libertarian but he’s no way in the same vein as those two idiots. He’s got way more substance behind him than most of you want to admit.

Murray is another wannabe. All of these people hit a wall after a couple layers into their arguments. They’re all the same, shallow clowns. Murray is blindly pro Israel, Smith is a bleeding heart clown who believes anything the media says. What’s the difference?
