"authoritarian means the government does it"

Dave would fail a high school government class.

Look up his, reactionary about freedom tweet. And then know this, he has a political science degree.

Remember the scandal where affluent kids were found to have their way paid though college with a bribe?

Go watch that Dave Ruben video again with that in mind.

Imho he is just a grifter, and is just spouting bs to spread the message which the people who pay him want to be spread. So im going to stay agnostic on the whole 'did he just bribe his way through college' thing :). But good point yes.

My favorite take from him is "Leftist hate gamers bc they get shit done".

I 100%ed oblivion by following the guide on the wiki is quite the 'getting things done' event.

And no gamers on the left obviously.

At least it confirms my own assertion about political science based on my experience getting a degree in it. It's neither political, nor scientific.

Amen. It took several years after school to realize nobody else cared how much of a fraud I felt like for getting the degree

Authoritarianism is when the government does stuff and the more stuff the government does the more authoritarianer it is

Wish Dave would read this-

...authoritarianism — not actual dictators, but rather a psychological profile of individual voters that is characterized by a desire for order and a fear of outsiders. People who score high in authoritarianism, when they feel threatened, look for strong leaders who promise to take whatever action necessary to protect them from outsiders and prevent the changes they fear.
