if your enemies are trying to kill your constituents, killing them could greatly improve the lives of your constituents, regardless of method used.

i thought you were talking about improving the morale of the society or something like that. if it's just a matter of killing enemies, that's not a very good argument. it's safer for your soldiers to kill their enemies rather than to try to capture enemies unwilling to surrender while killing captives that willingly surrendered would presumably make future enemies less likely to surrender.

Probably white males feeling like they are being blamed for stuff they aren't personally responsible for, would be my guess.

that's the exact same hypothesis that yang was pushing (in the link that i linked).

I'm sorry, but can you specify which link you're referring to? I just read two articles that were not relevant, and that makes me slightly peeved, sir.

the tweet from yang, where he says here is this guardian article saying youngish white males have shown a pretty dramatic shift from d to r over the last two years and then says i wonder if it has anything to do with articles like this one asking why we can't hate men and he includes a link to a wapo article about why we are justified in hating men.

More likely, 23% more millennial men have gotten jobs in this ridic Trump economy.

unemployment has gone down 0.7% since 2016, so could be part of it!

I thought Sam Harris was libtarded but it’s hard to keep it all straight

listened to both the jordan peterson rogan podcasts. i just don't get the controversial part of him. he desperately wants to tie everything back to leftist marxism, but he's mostly just boring.

I’m not a long term follower or anything so some ITT can say differently but I believe his thing is saying something reprehensible, seeing all the backlash, and preparing a defense of that thing based on “logic”. A live format isn’t going to work obv.

Weinstein and Harris are great, Rogan is decent. I can leave the rest.

wetwillie · « **Reply #1022 on:** July 03, 2018, 10:01:33 PM »

Harris is probably as much or more controversial than Peterson but seems to be much less aggressive in seeking out publicity.

Spracne · « **Reply #1023 on:** July 03, 2018, 10:12:13 PM »

What's so controversial about Sam Harris? I used to listen to his podcast a lot, and aside from his views on Islam, I'm not sure what would get folks up in arms.

Harris did with The Bell Curve author Charles Murray. In that interview, which first aired almost a year ago, the two argued that African Americans are, for a combination of genetic and environmental reasons, intrinsically and immutably less intelligent than white Americans,
