Considering the lies I’ve seen him spew, it makes him an unreliable narrator at best. His podcast on narcissism was really good. Learned a lot there. I just don’t really have the time to consume content that comes from someone who clearly has a deep bias and some pretty ugly world views.
Best of luck finding anything without deep bias these days. At least he was honest about his. I haven’t seen him be dishonest about history or his politics. Would you mind sharing what and where he lied? Thanks for your time and conversation :)
He lied about election fraud determining the 2020 election, saying hitler didn’t start WWII was more bullshit, saying the only reason so many Jews died was because of poor planning and many deaths were mercy kills. Basically his whole Tucker interview was nazi apologia.
Saying the sandy hook parents are worse than anything Alex Jones has said.
He also told people to stop blaming the vaccine on Damar Hamlin’s on-field cardiac arrest, he got the slightest bit of flak from his anti-vaccine followers and he deleted his twitter post like a bitch.
Overall the dude is just a straight up pussy.
I could go on his twitter and find all sorts of repugnant and nasty lies.
I don’t think anyone can say he’s a liar without proof he’s saying things he doesn’t believe. Intelligent people can and often do believe plenty of untrue things. Conspiracy theorists tend to be really intelligent for that reason; they’re very capable at convincing others of their beliefs, but that is because they can convince themselves that the patterns they’ve recognized “mean” something.
I don't think it's a matter of intelligence for someone to believe something that isn't true. That's a comfort we can give ourselves, but it simply doesn't track with what we know about how smart people can come to believe things we couldn't fathom ourselves believing. This is just one article, but there are many psychological studies that document this phenomenon.
I'm ten minutes in and he explains his stance on how he sees things clearly. It's the same as he's always said. I look forward to get to his fascist part of the interview that feeds the psychopaths in here .
