Yeah, and he's quoted once to make the point that the fact that someone like that, and someone like Bernie Sanders agree on AI hurting workers, shows that the anti-AI backlash is cross partisan.
Your righteous ignorance is just anti-intellectual trash.
Read the full article, then critique it and him if you want, or keep your mouth shut and don't judge a full article because it's opening line quotes someone you despise when you don't even understand that the context is not validating or praise worthy.
MY point is he should not even be quoted or mentioned anywhere because his fucking opinion as a giant piece of shit doesn't matter. Good day.
Yeah, and my point is that your point is anti-intellectual horseshit wrapped in righteous indignation.
Agree to disagree, white supremacists are not intellectuals.
Lmfao, so now Lila Shroff, staff writer at the Atlantic, is a white supremacist?
The quote was being used to make the article author's point in the context of the article, it wasn't a feed of quotes the author found inspiring from people they think you should pay attention to.
By your logic Robert Evans of Behind the Bastards fame is a white supremacist because he's quoted them before.
I don't believe that people who have shown themselves to be liars should be given equal time, that is why we are in the situation we are in in the first place, these assholes all called foul and free speech and now we have gestapos in our neighborhoods are you kidding? Of course I will call these guys out every chance I get. Why don't we see what Charlie Manson thinks about it too? I don't know man, it's just ridiculous. There's too many hatemongers with megaphones, so his name need not even be mentioned.
More righteous excuses to not read, think, or use your brain.
If I say the word Hitler, you stick your head in the sand and pretend they don't exist.
Good luck changing the world by ignoring reality and not listening to people. I'm sure it's a rational strategy that doesn't play directly into the openly published playbooks from Russia and China that detail how polarization is how you break society.
No idea what you're even talking about anymore, but all the best to you, goodbye.
