=== Judging Individuals Not Groups (01:32) ===

[00:00:00]  One of the themes we talk about here at the Rubin Report is why it's so important to judge people as individuals and not as a collective.
[00:00:07]  You as an individual are much more than your immutable characteristics, be they your skin color, your gender, your sexuality.
[00:00:14]  We are all suffering from a kind of political PTSD.
[00:00:18]  And that in fact many people who are on the right are there because they've been traumatized by really low quality dangerous leftist thinking.
[00:00:26]  Holy Christ!
[00:00:31]  So it's much easier, I think, to be offended than to take responsibility for your own actions.
[00:00:35]  Just speak.
[00:00:37]  Don't expect somebody else to do it for you.
[00:00:39]  Don't siphon it off like some wing of government.
[00:00:42]  It's for you to do.
[00:00:43]  For us to do.
[00:00:44]  It's for everyone.
[00:00:46]  Because when you put someone in a corner, all you're really doing is locking them down in their belief.
[00:00:50]  Leave them with a door open.
[00:00:54]  What am I saying?
[00:00:55]  That's nuts.
[00:00:57]  I can't believe I have to say this, but I think you have to look at the facts of every individual case.
[00:01:05]  Well, the funny thing about her argument is that it was predicated on the idea that somehow people have a right to be comfortable.
[00:01:10]  It's like, that's just not a right you have in life.
[00:01:14]  To be able to say that I base my opinion on my own views and that I don't have to fit into any particular box, I find that completely liberating.
[00:01:26]  You never really own freedom.
[00:01:28]  We only take care of freedom and preserve it to the next generation.
