Here's how I process this
[quote name="Slackshot"]When Steve King (R-Iowa) tweeted out that "you can't make civilization with someone else's babies," a lot of people including Ben Shapiro had his back. The remark sounds dirty and fascist, but if you're saying you shouldn't take for granted that your society will maintain itself with mass immigration and no <a href="https://forward.com/culture/378163/why-norman-podhoretzs-brutal-bargain-still-matters/">expectation to assimilate</a>, then maybe he's just a Bill O'Reilly-style no-spinner. However, he is (was) a congressman. They interviewed him and... <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JGnr1BvAM9M">it wasn't reassuring</a>. He seemed like a sneaky guy biting his tongue. Later, the Weekly Standard recorded an interaction he had in some kind of scrum where, playing off a question from a supporter (I think), he made a figurative but clear reference to <a href="https://www.mercurynews.com/2018/11/12/rep-king-dared-the-weekly-standard-to-release-the-tape-they-did/">illegal immigrants as "dirt" being tracked around the country</a>. Sounds crazy but I listened to this myself and it's true. Anyway he lost his seat when the NY Times lied about his remarks in an interview. Scott Adams is saying it looks like black people hate white people and have been promised they can get away with hurting them, so you should move away from them. It's a harsh thing to say but, like the King tweet, it's true enough and defensible. In my opinion, you should drop him if he seems like a guy who saw Trump's election as evidence that white people are amenable to identitarianism and is trying to feed that, which there is some evidence for. No one cares.[/quote]
