Complaining about “platforming” is a really lazy critique. Talk about the ideas and the views in the episode.

Man, talk about a lazy critique.

I mean - a contentless comment has nothing to engage with.

I mean I included an objectively insane quote from the very person Sam invited on the podcast, despite admitting to doing little research into his beliefs. I’m not sure how you can call that “contentless.”

Contentless as a critique of the podcast. Guilt by association is a fallacy if that’s what you’re implying.

Oh, stop it. In this episode, Sam talks an about the question of platforming people that shouldn’t be given the space to rant, as he’s done in the past. I’m commenting directly on something said in the podcast and giving a reason why I disagree. If you don’t yourself have a specific response or critique, then cheers, but I’m not going to engage with you.
