Dave Rubin's France protest panel turns to immigration policy
Jeffrey A. Tucker and James Lindsay join a discussion whose comments arrived nearly six times faster than usual, despite an ordinary opening audience.
Why this story? The video drew 1,268 comments in its first day, 5.9 times a normal first day on this channel (216).
Proof France Has Finally Passed the Point of No Return
Immigration policy, government responsibility and media coverage dominate the discussion beneath The Rubin Report's France protest video. Viewers also draw comparisons with Britain and North America, extending the conversation beyond the French student protests at its center.
The clip comes from Dave Rubin's Direct Message conversation with Jeffrey A. Tucker and James Lindsay. Rubin's description links the protests and street violence in Paris to immigration and criticizes how the media cover the subject. Those are the panel's arguments, reflected in the sweeping title “Proof France Has Finally Passed the Point of No Return,” rather than conclusions established by the title itself.
The notable response was in the comments: roughly 1,300 arrived in the first day, nearly six times the channel's usual pace for a regular video. Views were ordinary for The Rubin Report. This installment prompted substantially more discussion without drawing an unusually large opening audience.
