You are the one with prejudice, do you really want me to point out again where your problem is as clearly it passed you by last time?

This is good:

In his resignation tweets, Sabisky claimed (falsely) that his previous comments had been taken out of context. It turns out they're even worse when seen in their proper alt-right context.
And here's a good thread rebuffing Sabisky's claims about eugenics:

But, you have to wonder, why do we have to rebuff this shit in the 21st Century?

On a somewhat related subject there was a superb David Baddiel film on BBC2 last night, Confronting Holocaust Denial, as apparently 1/6 people these days are so profoundly thick or plain evil they deny or attempt to downplay one of the darkest periods in human history. It really deserves its own thread as this shit is all too real and an increasing risk as western society moves ever-rightwards.

hey, we still have to rebuff supply-side economics (often in this very forum, let alone the fringes of society) and that's actually way easier.
on a lighter note, from the guardian piece:
i'm imagining: "...in his famous dissertation, Drood praised Arthur Schopenhauer, the philosopher and beer enthusiast..."

Since we’re talking about tories and this has taken over the news, it has crossed my mind they could be getting upto something else right now they don’t want in the news. You always have to be suspicious.

I followed the trail down the NRx rabbit hole for a while this afternoon.
There's no doubt that some highly intelligent people are involved: computer scientists, data analysts and the like.
But once you dig into their verbiage (and boy do they like the sound of their own voices!) they're 100% racist.

One good thing has come out of this thread - thanks for the link to a really interesting series of talks. In the US we can still listen to BBC UK radio, even if we can't access iplayer for telly (I miss the sky at night).
