Dave Rubin@RubinReport 24h A crazy amount of anonymous accounts keep telling me to f--- myself, how much they hate me, and that I should do my show the way they demand. This is obviously at least partially coordinated and I already have some evidence.

1 Mail l LTE 10:56 AM O Ni 89% A amazon.ca **☆☆☆ Vapid nonsense Reviewed in Canada on April 29, 2020 Rife with grammatical errors and inconsistencies, this book is ahistorical rubbish. Rubin references known climate change deniers in his arguments against climate change, provides broad opinion without any substantiation (US foreign intervention - IE the Vietnam War) was "mostly good", and peddles outright untruths (The Ukraine is Part of NATO) with a gaudy confidence typically reserved for commentators who know what they're talking about. He attacks "the left" as if it were an incoherent abstraction, never engages with the ideas of a single leftist thinker, and dabbles in cliche's that would make Dan Brown Jealous. It read like a work penned by a man who doesn't read, and proofread by an editor who wasn't being paid. This book is no more intellectually rigorous than any other subway stand tabloid. The jokes are bad. The punchlines don't hit. And the writing, by god, the writing, it's about as bad as you'd expect from a man who says things like "the dial of ideas is quickly moving to the hot position." No one with a functional brain, whose ever read anything ever, could possibly, under any circumstance, enjoy this work. One star. Helpful Report Don't Burn This Book: Dave Rubin loves to talk about Thinking for Yourself in an Age of Unreason Dave Rubin ideas. In his new book, Don't Burn This Book, he tells the reader: Sentinel, pp.256, $27.00 I want you to walk into a bar and order yourselves a full-bodied opinion. I want you to get absolutely wasted on facts until 3:00 a.m., and then, when you're just about ready to pass out, I want you to get another large glass of reality and chug it.' It's telling that Rubin suggests that we order the opinion before the facts. Would it not make more sense to suggest, say, blending a cocktail of facts into an opinion? Rubin's advice seems backwards to me. But it would be wrong to take this suggestion seriously. Don't Burn This Book is not a serious work. It is, in fact, extremely lazy, bearing all the hallmarks of a project that was knocked together over a few wet weekends. Rubin loves to talk about 'ideas' as an abstraction, yet he does not love to talk about ideas themselves. For example, he constantly rails against the progressive left, yet quotes almost no left-wing thinkers Though he says he hates identity politics, Rubin never misses an opportunity to remind the reader that he's a married gay man as evidence of his "liberal" bona fides. Rubin touts his paid appearances at conservative events as proof of their open-mindedness and tolerance, especially compared to the rigidly dogmatic left. And even when presented with an easy lay-up of an opportunity to take issue with Trump, he demurs. Writing about Trump's border wall, something generally opposed by libertarians, Rubin refuses to take a stand, literally writing that he's not advocating for it but also doesn't oppose it. He adds with comedic flourish, "you could say I'm sitting on the fence – waka! waka!" He makes gobsmackingly reductive arguments. Among them, the Nazis were actually of the left because the word "socialist" is in the National Socialist Party name and Hitler was an "art-loving vegetarian." He argues that the disastrous and immoral US military intervention into Vietnam was good because "our contribution secured much-needed freedoms." Rubin the "old-school liberal" even deploys the old Republican saw about the "Democrat Party" being the party of slavery 160 years ago, as if neither party had undergone substantial philosophical and demographic shifts in the century-and-a-half since. DON'T BUY DAVE RUBIN'S BOOK A Vacuous Man E arly in the book, Rubin criticizes German chancellor Angela Merkel for accepting "millions of immigrants from Iraq, Syria, and Afghanistan and other troubled nations." Later he criticizes Barack Obama for drawing a red line in Syria and not following through, mocking Obama for making America look like a “paper tiger" that a "stiff wind" could knock over. You wouldn't know it from reading Rubin, but most of these "immigrants" were in fact refugees fleeing from conflicts the United States had unleashed. Rubin's decision to ignore or even condemn millions ofvictims fleeing humanitarian catastrophes, while complaining about the damage to America's reputation, speaks to his vacuous politics. For Rubin, everything operates at the surface, on the level of affect, completely removed from the real complexities of the world and its moral challenges. Ironically, even the history of classical liberalism is not spared this reductive flatness.
Andrew L. Seidel @AndrewLSeidel · 34m Yesterday, the US broke 100,000 daily cases for the first time ever. 107,872, up more than 50% from two weeks ago. 1,616 people died in one day. More Americans died of COVID this week than were killed on 9/11. Which raises the question, Dave, what the f--- is wrong with you? O Dave Rubin O @RubinReport 50m Can we all admit that the pandemic is over now? Like at least give us that as you peddle the rest of this nonsense. 17 84 O 332 Dave Rubin O @RubinReport · 29m Funny, you only had glowing things to say about me when you were in my home and on my show! 2 27 1 Andrew L. Seidel @AndrewLSeidel 23m Then you should take this even more to heart. You're helping spread disinformation about a lethal pandemic and a presidential election at the same time. At best, you've got a platform and are using it to mislead people about something that will kill them. Answer the question. 24 Dave Rubin O @RubinReport · 23m o00 I'm an adult unlike you. See DM. Andrew L. Seidel @AndrewLSeidel · 14m I don't see any news to keep this in DM. You're saying the same thing there. 000 Dave Rubin O If you had engaged like an adult I would have continued the conversation. Good luck not being eaten by the revolution. 11:28 AM Dave Rubin If you had engaged like an adult I would have continued the conversation. Good luck not being eaten by the revolution. 11:28 AM Dave, I meant every word. People are dying. You're not only minimizing those deaths and the families left behind in a disturbingly callous way, you're helping spread disinformation and therefore the virus itself. I'm not sure what you think is "adult" blithely contributing to a lethal pandemic, but the answer is nothing. You want to ignore this criticism by claiming to be the adult and casting me as a petulant child for...what, exactly? For nothing. That inane framing will probably play well with your audience, but not with me. And think we both know it's just a way to salve your conscience and ignore legitimate criticism. Don't do that. Instead, you really ought to take a step back and ask yourself, "What the f--- am I doing?" 11:40 AM /
