Sam Harris

Yeah, so I didn't see that podcast and I don't know how Favreau dealt with that, you know, vomitous confusion.

But the fact that he was talking to the guy in the first place makes me worry that, again, the Democrats are lost here, right?

so if you want president jd vance or tucker carlson or i guess in the best case marco rubio well then by all means you know signal boost hassan piker for the next two years but it's a disaster yeah so i don't know i you know it's very hard for me to know what's going on in the democratic party really i mean we have 77 percent of democrats who think that israel committed genocide in gaza

Those are Hassan Piker's people.

77% is a big number that attests to some serious moral and political confusion on that issue alone.

I mean, for anyone who's confused about that, I mean, the word genocide means something.

It meant something yesterday or the day before that.

It means the effort to eradicate a people in whole or in part as such.

The Nazis killed Jews, tried to kill every last Jew they could get their hands on because they were Jews.

The Hutus tried to kill all the Tutsis with machetes over the course of 100 days in 1994.

Those are genocides, and we need that word.

If we're going to redefine genocide to mean simply a war we don't like,

or a war that has too much collateral damage, well, then we're just going to need to invent a new word to signify actual genocides, which are, again, efforts to eradicate people simply because they belong to a specific group.

And by that measure, Hamas is explicitly and has always been a genocidal organization.

This group of paramilitary fighters who are exclusively orphans whose, what, internal procedures Hassan Piker can quibble with,

but they have a Politburo?

I mean, this guy is such a colossal moron.

It's a genocidal organization that aspires to genocide directly in its charter, and since October 7th has said it would repeat October 7th again and again and again ad infinitum.

If it had the ability, it would kill every Jew in Israel.

We know that.
