That guy gave me some severe whiplash, lol. For a while I thought he was a cool pro-science epic debate guy. A couple years later I tuned into his podcast again and he was straight up talking about race science. I had to reevaluate some things that day.
We ran into the same wall around the same time I think with the new-atheist crowd. The reactionary radicalization of those communities happened so fucking fast. Yes looking back they were always shitty but it went from mostly harmless bashing of the kookier aspects of religious fundamentalism to overt fascist shit in the span of a couple months.
