Please, you can’t expect people to google stefan molyneaux before doing a podcast interview with him

It’s amazing the extent to which the outside people commenting have no clue what’s going on

I’m convinced that when Scott finally admits he’s racist we’ll hear it going around the world three times over like the eruption of the Krakatoa

Scott is one of those guys who thinks he isn't a racist because racism is a red tribe phenomenon, and he is clearly grey tribe.
"I'm not racist because I don't really hate black people, I just think racist stereotypes about black people are actually true and rooted in genetics" type of guy
He thinks to be a racist, you have to specifically hate people for their skin color. Not because you think they're mostly *negative stereotype associated with race* which is clearly different.

And now they’re worried there’s going to be a NYT hit piece on him and SSC and then every rationalist will lose their jobs and they’ll be “radicalized” by this.

Ok, why exactly do you people want to see this guy crucified?
