        If Dave Rubin wanted to know where his political home was he'd just ask Ben Shapiro.

        Same reason that Rubin gives softball interviews to anybody with a right-of-centre opinion and calls them the "new centre." Money.

        One of the tenets if the IDW is discussing ideas, rather than slinging insults at your 'opponents'.

        There is literally one person who can accurately be referred to as right wing in the group. @EricRWeinstein and @BretWeinstein both supported Bernie, @SamHarrisOrg is a liberal. Only @benshapiro is on the political right.

        Bret Weinstein, one of the founders of the "Intellectual Dark Web" (lmao), actually defends Ben Shapiro's rabidly racist comment that "Arabs like to bomb crap and live in open sewage" Why? Because it's a reflection of his own (and by extension the "IDWs") racist worldview pic.twitter.com/TSznyylwnk
