     @SallyStrange

     Anyone whom regularly listens to Sam Harris, will know that he, like me, is anti-sexism & anti-racism. In other words, for equal treatment, opportunity

     Although, I wouldn't say l agree with everything Sam Harris says

     Can you provide any evidence that Sam Harris advocated preemptive nuclear strikes? Evidence, would be his writing, podcasts, etc. Not simply a clipped video__some dopes intentionally try to slander people. Others, they just can't help but to spread idol gossip.

     carl marks repeated this.

     @ScienceCommunicator You are fucking kidding me.

     It's not enough to "be anti-sexism and anti-racism." You must declare that, BUT, you must also test your actions against reality to see if your actions match your intentions. Harris was afforded the opportunity to test his actions against his intentions years ago and decided that his intentions are enough, and that he could ignore the testimony of those affected by his actions.

     I just provided you with evidence that he is sexist and racist. It should not be shocking that, with racism and sexism being unpopular, racists and sexists often deny their proclivities in public.

     If you are OK with racism and sexism but find preemptive nuclear strike advocacy to be a dealbreaker, then fuck you. It's some old Bill Maher episodes, if you really care, but your remarks here are hinting to me that you don't give a fuck.

     Edited to include the link to my thread with evidence (which is easy to find) of Harris' bigotry. https://eldritch.cafe/@SallyStrange/112757754169420610

     @ScienceCommunicator Sexism, racial profiling, and preemptive nuclear strikes make no sense though. (Those are things Sam Harris has firmly endorsed.)
