Rogan connects the casino owner he met in Atlantic City — who explained that concentrating social programs and unproductive populations guarantees crime and disorder — to the Giuliani story. Giuliani's New York clean-up is praised as genuinely transformative, but Dillon's verdict is precise: had he died after that achievement, his legacy would have been unimpeachable. Instead he hung around, melted his hair dye on television, and became a punchline. The broader thesis is that the only people who want political power are 'a little goofy,' and that cities run by the empathy industry — nonprofits, social programs, progressive bureaucracies — become ungovernable.
In the UK, people are being arrested for liking social media posts — not even retweeting — primarily around immigration commentary. Tim Dillon warns this is the template for what happens when a population loses its voice before it loses its rights.
