Why the "Good Liberals" Cannot Rule | Dave Rubin

The discussion centers on the inability of 'good liberals' to maintain societal order due to their prioritizing of individualism over established norms and values. This failure to defend core principles has allowed societal chaos to fester, ultimately leading to a need for a more conservative approach to preserving foundational societal structures and values.

Liberal Individualism's Limitations

• 00:00:30 Liberal individualism flourishes only when a strong, established collective ensures basic norms and values. It's akin to a society with protected borders, allowing for internal freedoms. When these foundational principles are challenged, liberal individualism falters.

The Role of Conservatism

• 00:01:50 The self-evident truths of society are no longer self-evident and must be defended. This realization necessitates a conservative approach to restate and reinforce foundational principles. The need to articulate these basic tenets stems from the breakdown of social order.

The 'Good Liberals' and Societal Chaos

• 00:02:54 The 'good liberals' failed to confront growing societal chaos and instead allowed it to escalate. They chose to avoid conflict and appease radical elements, which weakened foundational structures and values. This approach resulted in a decline in the defense of traditional norms.

Twitter's Shadowbanning System

• 00:05:00 Twitter's internal systems were designed to shadowban and silence certain viewpoints while promoting others. This system was built to manipulate information and control narratives. Elon Musk's acquisition of Twitter revealed the existence of this hidden system, emphasizing the platform's influence on public discourse.
