Murray is not merely a racist. He's a white supremacist eugenicist. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26126606 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26126606

edit: I'm "posting too fast" so responding here: UBI isn't inherently bad but Murray's version is. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26127207 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26127207
- Gunax 6y agoIf UBI is racist, then it seems to me that literally everything is racist. You cannot change a government policy without somehow, somewhere affecting some minority. If we are going to going to call that racism, then we really cannot even have policy discussions. Obviously Murray is a particularly controversial person, but UBI is obtaining small amounts of broad support in general. I guess it just feels a bit exhausting to me. While I understand the reasoning behind what you wrote (and it's logical and internally consistent), I also feel one could just as reasonably make the case that not supporting UBI is racist.
