i find it weird that people are latching onto the concept of it being like racist or xenophobic, and there’s definitely room to discuss that about it. But i can’t help but feel like we’re talking about a dumbass with a netflix show, shouldn’t we apply occam’s razor here?
I feel like the obvious answer here is that bro is a dumbass, made up a conspiracy, and is using it to make money. Granted i also don’t know much about his history, maybe he does a little racism in his spare time idk.
maybe? I don’t know anything about graham hancock, is the racism accusation literally just coming from his ancient apocalypse shit or is this like a predefined established behavior of the dude?
it could be, if they were just a well known racist or something, like i said i know nothing about this guy so that seems like a weird jump to make when the very obvious and clear answer is that it’s for money.
Like in my mind, there’s one of two things happening:
this is a really complex result of subtle/subconscious racism which is leading to him latching onto conspiracies specifically surrounding a thing that he is not educated in at all, and then lying and making shit up about it, to the point of literal conspiracy theories. While also simultaneously being able to make a netflix series on it, which likely pays him a good chunk of money.
OR
this is just a way for him to make money because he can’t do science, and doesn’t want to do anything else. (and also maybe some public perception, i assume he is somewhat well known previously though)

Graham Hancock is a racist grifter who definitely knows he’s full of shit, is that what you mean?

He’s definitely a grifter though.
I feel like pointing at (subconscious) racism is compatible with Occam’s razor
