Harris

I really should point out that there isn't much distance between Sam laying extraordinary blame on whites (for doing the same expansionist activities as every other group, just with way more power behind them), and the "privilege + power" canard used to justify anti-white bigotry.

His is arguing that whites are just too powerful and successful to deserve any right to argue for themselves, whereas the other is arguing whites are too powerful and successful to deserve anything but anti-white bigotry.

I also dont know why people are surprised Sam has a hard time admitting he is wrong, or would repeat this sort of passive moral relativism. Sam couldn't even admit he 'jinxed' the election and revised why he tweeted "bye-bye Donald" when he thought Hillary was going to win in November.

And he has done all of this before if one payed attention. He tacitly agreed that good moral evolution should make you ashamed of your ancestors, he apologized for white privilege to a black academic, he's even tried to excuse his unwillingness to talk to other people smeared by the Left because he's afraid of acquiring more demerits than he already has.

Sam is incredibly smart but these were easily identifiable character traits in my opinion

I was surprised by how many lefty HBDers on twitter were ignoring what actually happened at the UTR rally (particularly Antifa's instigation). I guess it's the same dishonest excuse that Sam Harris has mentioned before - there's no real incentive for them to understand the facts if the facts portray "Nazis" in a sympathetic light, potentially damaging their reputation.
