  1. Classical Liberalism isn't what Rubin seems to think it is. It's a 19th-century term which means something close to libertarianism --- espousal of lightly-regulated capitalism, free trade, minimal government, plenty of civil liberties. I've seen Rubin use it a few times. By contrast with the correct definition, he seems to think Classical Liberal means 'traditional 60s-70s-80s Western liberal', an adherent of the liberalism espoused by the Kennedys, LBJ, centrist/free enterprise/high-tax Europeans of the era, etc. If he wants a term for that I think he should say Post-50s Liberalism or maybe Boomer Liberalism. I think people would then understand what he means. If Rogan really does dislike Rubin on account of this matter, possibly he, unlike Rubin, does know the right definition, i.e. knows that it comes close to 1980-2010 Republicanism --- yet he doesn't realize Rubin is ignorant of it. So he thinks Rubin is trying to hide something. Rogan is a bit dozy, and has been hit in the head countless times, so I can easily imagine that Rubin confuses and angers him. Neither one of them is really so bright that he deserves a huge following, actually.

  2. Apartheid, sure.🙄 That's why 2 million Arabs live inside Israel, enjoying full and equal citizenship and protection under constitutional human rights provisions. They vote, they own businesses, they have political parties, they sit in the Knesset. These are the sorts of facts which pretentious and sanctimonious liberals absolutely love to ignore.

  3.  @joshbates9015  Thanks for the steaming pile of copied-and-pasted tendentious bull💩. It's the same sort of crap used to "prove" that women are tyrannized by the "patriarchy," blacks really aren't responsible for the staggering amount of crime they commit, and all the rest. Hand it in to your TA and collect an automatic A for it. (Of course there's a strong chance that you are a TA.) It would take honesty and integrity to acknowledge the vast differences between Israel's legal and social provisions and South African Apartheid, in extent but especially in kind. Without honesty and integrity, the sole resort is to category inflation, an exemplary form of tendentious bull💩.
