Critics of the left aren’t oppressed and they don’t believe in “rational debate.”

Just cuz a couple people have been able to build an audience online doesn't mean higher learning isn't a circle jerk

Ayaan isn't Muslim, she's atheist.

This is fair. He works with current and former Muslims, then.

spoken like a harris stan, even debating if racial iq is a thing is racist.

Nomayo isn't fooling anyone. You on the list

And this is what "Intellectual Dark Webers" are talking about. There's nothing racist about talking about reality, but to some people you can't even mention demonstable facts without accusations of racism/c00ning. This is a tactic to shutdown conversation on unpleasant or inconvenient topics. The OP article misses that point.

Nathan J. Robinson is one of the best writers out there.

Because he IS a leftie. He voted Obama & Hillary and hates Trump, is pro-immigration and against Trump's proposed Muslim ban. He doesn't hate Muslims... he works with several Muslims like Maajid Nawaz and Ayan Hirsi Ali, attempting to persuade fundamentalist Muslims to become more moderate. I don't know what you mean by "believe in racial IQ". The experts who study this agree that black test takers on average don't perform as well as their white counterparts. That's just a demonstrable observation. The complex reasons why that might be is what's being debated. Harris thinks its reasonable to believe some percentage of both genetics and one's early environment plays some role, but doesn't assert any certainties on specific numbers... because no one really knows yet. Now, what exactly is racist about this view point?

Ayan Hirsi Ali isn't Muslim.

Ayan Hirsi Ali isn't Muslim.

Did she die?

Hl absolutely is a circle jerk

It's not "reality" if the people framing those facts are being misleading.

People like Dave Rubin and Sam Harris have been using "free speech" /1st Amendment as some sort of talisman or lucky rabbit's foot to bolster their arguments. As if they're magically protected against accusations of peddling race science and absurd conservative economic theories.

The views of supposed "Dark Web Intellectuals" don't add up to "free speech" that is being suppressed by some monolithic Leftist Agenda™".
It's eugenics and Hooverism in a cheap tuxedo. :cambybp:

By the way, calling these people the "Intellectual Dark Web" is laughable. It's not like you need to use Tor to access Ben Shapiro's YouTube videos. :mjlolhairfade:

This world is coming to a end

But Harris isn't being misleading about THIS particular fact. Further, there are people who assert genetics play no role in IQ who are the ones obfuscating facts here.

The first amendment doesn't protect them from unsupported accusations, this is true. However, it's not completely crazy to be concerned about a society that's becoming more and more obsessed with getting people fired or deplatformed for wrongthink. Both sides attempt to do this from time to time.

*Edit* Please go on and explain when/how Sam Harris has ever advocated for eugenics or Hooverism.

 

[Berniewood Hogan]

Both sides
