Flow like water or Peterson's tears? Stop listening to these clowns.
- Really. Why?Morning_star
- Because they'll both make ridiculous assertions that they then can't defend, hiding behind thin whataboutisms and deflection.see_thru
- I find those who dismiss them tend to do it without substance. Which assertions in particular ?Morning_star
- I can't think of a single assertion that harris has made that he hasn't defended meticulously.Gnash
- Is best to have as many different perspectives as possible.mugwart
- agree with mugwart and morning_star, you don't have to agree but if you block out perspectives you can't have a meaningful debatespot13
- Where did I say I block anything out? You don't have access to what I read and watch, so you can't possibly guess at what influences my perspectives.see_thru
- Harris is a promotor of toxicity; he’s historically uninformed and panders to racist right-wing pseudo intellectualism.see_thru
- You talk about open debate? Look at the people he's hosted versus the people he's gone after or has categorically stated he won't debate. He needs to be exposedsee_thru
- You can't rely on 'we just know' as an argument...he runs interference. He defends toxic reactionary ideas like the bell curve FFS.see_thru
- I don't know much about Harris, but from what I do know, I wouldn't have deduced he panders to the right wing racists at all.monospaced
- Different opinions are okay. You can disagree with people's opinions. Chill out, it's okay.spot13
- Embracing Charles Murray...his position on Islam...echoing white nationalist discourse; my understanding of pandering must be off.see_thru
- I'm not saying you're wrong, dude. Just saying I'm ignorant of his stance. I know little of him beyond his atheist views.monospaced
- Harris didn't embrace murray, he discussed the efficacy of his data - regardless of how those findings are used by bad actors.Gnash
- he may have views you disagree with but to say he doesn't - or can't - defend them is just plain wrong. He goes to great lengths to explain himselfGnash
- Exactly, Gnash.monospaced
- Yes he defends - using ideas and contexts based on inaccuracies. Duke, Jones, Bannon, Shapiro etc, all go to great lengths to explain themselves too.see_thru
- the guys you mention aren't even on the same planet as harris. lumping him with those guys indicates to me you get your views prepackagedGnash
- Did I say that they were? I'm merely pointing out that even the dumbest players can explain shit away....see_thru
- ...and if listening to a wide variety of opinion over several hours daily qualifies as prepackaged, well...see_thru
- @ see_thru. Share the wealth brother/sister. Who do you listen to? Who should we take notice of?Morning_star
- Just chiming in: Harris is that smug dipshit at the party that never shuts up, but should because he's not nearly as smart as he thinks he is.garbage
- ^ you must have him confused for Cenk UygurGnash
- ^ implying that I have any affinity for the fucking Young Turks.garbage
