No, Asshole, Platforming an Antisemite Did Not “Increase the Amount of Love in the World”

Lex Fridman, take a look at your handiwork

This blue-check “MIT Researcher” with 1.8M followers on Twitter and 2M subs on YouTube decided to do an interview with Kanye West claiming “tough, honest, empathetic conversation” with antisemites in public will make more love or some bullshit.

No, Lex. That’s not how it works and bringing up your Ukrainian Jewish heritage to excuse platforming this brainfucked antisemite for YouTube views is a disgrace.

Here's my conversation with Ye aka Kanye West (@kanyewest). Given my family history in the 20th century, this was difficult but important. I believe in the power of tough, honest, empathetic conversation to increase the amount of love in the world. youtube.com/watch?v=4AWLcx…

But you have made quite a career platforming cryptofascists, haven’t you?

You created an ocean of hate, Lex Fridman, not just the people who watched your shitty, embarrassing “interview” but all the racists and antisemites who are laughing hysterically and feeding their fans every morsel this mentally ill nitwit spewed at you.

Take a look at your handiwork, Lex. You created content for a who’s who of Nazis and propagandists. These are just a few. Fuentes, Milo, Ickes. It’s almost impressive.

UGH. Lex Fridman, fuck you.
