Unspeakable Podcast - Sam Harris: How not to ruin the dinner party (podcast)
What’s wrong with the right and left
What’s wrong with the fringe right (tiki-torch wielders) is obvious and right there on the surface. No argument required. Some of them are actual nazis. if they started to not be fringe I’d be more worried about it and talking about it and what to do about it. It may have gotten a little more energy under trump but it’s still the fringe of the fringe.
the SPLC is incentivized to keep finding racism and white supremacy, even as they dwindle away. “if we ever solve this, SPLC might be the last to acknolwedge it”.
real white supremacy is not influencing culture and buisnes to any significant degree. movie studios, fortune 500s etc, don’t deny the holocaust or say black people are inferior. being a nazi is a massive disqualifier for pariticpation in any significant portions of society.
the reason we focus on the extremity of the left is becaus the fringe on the left has fully captured our institutions: media, academia, tech, hollywood.
