How could we forget this guy?

An entire career based on criticizing SD Green from below:

 

This is not funny, is just and example of bad social experiment. He entered in the room not with a open mind and heart to truly listen and connect with whatever topic was there, but entered already with devious and malicious intent. What he would expect? I did it once and I felt ridiculous. I came to a Mórmon Church, that I dont belive anyomore to just see again how low is the vibe there. Basicaly if one already have some Bias against some group, what use have to do such performative juvenile acts. He is acting for his audience, an audience stupid as him.

He's trying to be a right-wing Borat. But the problem is that Borat was funny precisely because it pointed out the bigotry of lower stages of development. 

Walsh is just ignorant.

Borat was funny because it was racist and depicted middle eastern people as goat fuckers.

You could watch it that way.

But then you missed the deeper point.

I would put a clip of Douglas Murray implying you need to go on an IDF sponsored propaganda tour of Gaza before you critique Israel over Gaza, but, I think people here probably look at Smith and Rogan as epistemic scoundrels, so I’ll refrain.

Destiny, a month before Oct 7, says he thinks Israel should genocide Palestinians. Yet, when the conflict began, pretends like he’s not biased and is objective. It’s cute how he believes in genocide of Palestinians when there’s nothing on the line, but when he wants to win arguments for the Israel side, he will say to norm finklestein that even if Israel were to drop an atomic bomb in Gaza he doesn’t believe that would be genocide (someone can pull this clip up).  What a phony.   
 

It’s so insulting how people like Murray. Sam Harris and Zestiny can go on these trips to Israel, but never once care to have Gazans or West Bank Palestinians give them a tour of their occupied territories.

This sums up the posters here who use this line of reasoning when it comes to defending Israel.

People who badly abuse epistemology, have very poor epistemic standards. People who are very flexible with truth, bullshit a lot, do mental gymnastics, abuse rationality, rationalize their biases, grift, create propaganda.

Let's add this guy to the list. 

I wonder what happened to him.
