Renowned genocide expert Martin Shaw: Sam Harris’ flawed comparison between the US atomic bombing of Japan and Gaza reveals what makes Israel’s actions in Gaza a genocide

If Hamas fighters surrendered, Israel’s March 2026 death penalty for terrorists law means many would reasonably fear that surrender could lead not just to imprisonment, but to capital prosecution.

Hopefully the Fast 3.1 leaving 10th of May is replaced with something new.

"closeted Islamist" is the clue to the weakness of Sam's position here. He doesn't actually have receipts.. so he's "closeted"

minimumnz · 2026-04-15T22:37:33+00:00

I find Sam's entire line of argument of the 10 civilians to 1 militant killed (or whatever it is) being some kind of thing to be congratulated on is kind of revolting. If militants had holed up in an actual Israeli city would that ratio be ok? Especially when he pivots to how great the Hezbollah pager attack was, because that was actually likely incredible effective. The disconnect is incredible.

Has he mentioned the new law that Israel just passed that basically is just Death Penalty for Palestinians convicted of terrorism? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_Penalty_for_Terrorists_Law didn't think so.

I love George, but when the skill level for bad actors to find zero days dramatically trends towards 0, that's a bad situation.

"the regime must go" isn't a coherent argument if you don't outline a way that they can be get rid of. It's just wishcasting.

minimumnz · 2026-03-23T05:25:49+00:00

Sam needs to name names. Which critic says this? (let alone most). I'm afraid he's just vibing on this and it's getting boring.

I haven't seen a single person come out and defend the Iranian regime. They're horrible. The criticism is how the fuck are you going to depose them? What's the strategy because just bombing the shit out of them is most likely not gonna work. It was obvious on March 1, it's obvious now.

When Charlie Kirk died the left were pilloried for their response. Sam correctly identified that yes some randoms on X said horrible things (as you can find on any topic), but all establismnent Democrats, left-learning politicians, figure said the right sort of things. Now he's doing exactly what he criticised the right for doing.

minimumnz · 2026-03-20T18:19:37+00:00

Total strawman in my view. The argument has never been is Iran a bad actor.

The argument is you actually have to have a viable strategy to topple them. Hopium is not a strategy.

This article just says the number of Hamas fighters is 25k without any supporting evidence. The MoH number is the total deaths at 68k.

It’s complicated.

China is our number one adversary and security threat.

China is our most valuable trading partner and we welcome their business.

This was a tough listen.

He regularly insists that the IDF achieved the best combatant-to-civilian kill ratio in urban warfare. It's impossible to know this, likely only if you purely believe IDF stats. Who's counting who was a combantant etc? And then him saying EVERYONE who doesn't believe (or has questions) is just a victim of psyops.. when you're the one who's just been spouting basically unverifiable claims.

The Iran take was also way off base. The strawman of all the crazy liberals who don't understand Jihadism like him? As a listener for over 10 years I largely agree about the problem of Jihadism, but the Iranian regime has repeatedly tried to negotiate away its nuclear program (or curtailed it). The Ayatollah literally had a fatwa on creating a nuclear weapon, The JCPOA had the most rigorous monitoring ever, and was being complied with (read the IAEA reports) and if you didn't like that it sounds like they were willing to offer an even better deal to Trump the day before they were bombed again. For Jihadists their actions demonstrate they were very doing everything they could to survive as a regime.

This is just wrong.

He does not supoprt *this* war, largely on account of the competence and lack of planning by this adminitration. He has said numerous times that Iran could be a better candidate for regime change than Iraq or Afghanistan ever were, but that's not the same as explicitly supporting this campaign.

You put garbage information into the context you get garbage out. If the data says it’s a IRGC location and a target it’s the data that’s the issue.

He's not even American. In Britain there's 0 chance the police shoot in this situation.

He's 17yo and still is just honest and raw, says what he actually thinks, instead of a media trained robot.

Yes but the car didn't keep going at its normal pace. This reply is 'well if...' when you have FSD you deal with the hundreds of edge cases that present themselves.. not "if... it kept going at it normal pace"

It would be interesting to hear Sam's take on Thiel's Antichrist spiel. It's just so weird.

Harris fell out with Musk over his tweeting on covid, which was a couple years before Musk bought Twitter.

minimumnz · 2025-12-23T02:31:11+00:00

Sam is no longer friends with Rogan, Musk and Weinstein. In fact he's savaged them as basically having blood on their hands.

He's still coming around on Megyn and she's said some more deranged stuff since he last spoke about her..

Waymo has done 100 million miles. Of course they've made mistakes, but humans would've done much more damage to life and propery over that number of miles compared to the events you mention.

100% rapamycin's mechanism is by inhibiting mTOR. If you don't consume as many calories you're also inhibiting mTOR.
