    Yes I had watched the highlights of that, but I’m just now watching the whole thing. God it was disgusting to hear the disingenuous arguments from that Dave Rubin guy. What a worthless uncanny valley face bag of FUD in a cheap suit he is. Reminded me of all the arguments against global warming. And all the interrupting was also so so painful. Gary pretty much got interrupted every time he tried to answer, when they were losing control of the narrative. Which was continuously because the ideas they are advocating don’t stand up to even the smallest scrutiny.

    And Piers Morgan pretending to be neutral while badgering Gary to say how much money he made, and dog whistling about Gary being a socialist, for saying billionaires should pay more than zero tax. Ugh.

    I’ve been binging everything of GS for the last few months. He’s a national treasure. No, a global treasure. No wonder he gets so little mainstream media time.

    Not sure if I’m just in an echo chamber now from watching so much of his stuff, but I feel I’m seeing more tax the rich sentiment around the place, mostly on youtube and reddit.

    I just hope that our society can barely scrape through by being smart enough to not fall for the trap of immigration being blamed for all the problems that are actually coming from not taxing the ultra-wealthy. Honestly I can’t believe this is even a debate. The average person must be SO ignorant. Or maybe so pressured from work and other things that they don’t have time to educate themselves.

    Everything he says explains everything you can see around you with your own eyes. Now I see it everywhere.
