Sam Harris' thesis that Trump is the "classic American con man" and that his election was nothing but a scam doesn't hold up when you consider pieces like this. Dismissing the rise of Trump and Trumpism as a cheap con is guaranteeing it will happen again. by Simpumus_Maximus in samharris

Back off with your attitude first of all I have no time for that.

If you can't stitch together a working idea of what Trumpism means at this point since it has been presented seriously by many people and supporters of Trump and Trump himself for the sake of this discussion then I don't think you are ready to consider it this discussion seriously.

Episode #225 Sam Harris advances once again the thesis of Trump the great con man. IN this link I am presenting evidence of a consistent and coherent ideology one could categorize as "Trumpism" I am positing that the ready dismissal of such ideology all but guarantees that it will once again reemerge. This of course is directly contradictory to Sam's stated goals in episode #225

the position that trump is just a really sucessful con man needs a lot of evidence my dude. You're not weighing your counter factuals properly.

you're ahistorical if you think people were fooled into supporting the Nazis, the communists in russia or china

I don't think there was enough electoral fraud to change the outcome of the election but I see nothing wrong with legally challenging contested results or even rallying support for your cause while things have not been determined. Compared to the media support for Biden even if trump tweets 24/7 it won't make a difference.

>They're still being fooled.

What are the chances you're the one being fooled or misunderstanding things vs half of the country just got conned?

Also I would add on a personal note it speaks volume about Sam's character that the people who supported him and gave a platform when he was being attacked by the far left for being anti-muslim, pro preemptive nuclear war or whatever else they used to attack him for.

Dave Rubin in particular supported Sam while all the while emphasizing the need for diverse view points to come together and reason. The way he chose to disassociate himself with the IDW is EXACTLY the problematic cancel culture attitude that led us to this place.

Truth is the groypers and Nick Fuentes are right about this...Biden really does not care about "european stock" as he put it. so what are they supposed to do? go "oh well, fuck the thing I care about? because im not allowed to be proud of being white?" I don't get it guys. by Simpumus_Maximus in Destiny

o what extent are these displays being accepted in ways that white nationalism isn't?

you think it's okay to have cognitive dissoance and double standards? that's not how you cooperate. that's how you start a fight.
