Ha. Imagine believing this. Yeah, please let me know when Chamath corrects the record on the topic in question.

These guys are charlatans. These lying idiots have absolutely no shame in misleading you, and you are falling for it.

“Oh, it’s just entertainment. Oh, it’s just opinion. Oh, you shouldn’t take them seriously.”

No. Absolutely not. I refuse to give them a pass. We have to stop normalizing this behavior. Ethics matter. Character matters. The truth matters.



Lol good for you! Don’t watch it. Be the moral police, see how that works out. This is the reason moderates are pushed into right side.


You are aware that most moral and ethical codes in a free society are enforced by people saying, "hey pal, that seems mighty improper," right? Don't be a crybaby.

"If you keep telling people it's bad to lie, I'm going to change my political views! *harumph*" is an impressive self-own.


I was being condescending about it, should not have done that. I take it back.


No one is taking issue with your condescension or your tone. They're taking issue with your extremely bad ideas.

"Don't tell people not to lie or I'll become an extreme right winger" is a bad idea. It's a stupid thought. If you share that thought, you will be made fun of. But it's not because you shared it in a bad way. It's because it's a bad idea.


Moderates are pushed to the right because they are butthurt by someone believing that lying is bad?

OK.
