Exactly, like the whole point of their schtick is that they want to legitimise plain old racism as something more sophisticated, so I don't see a reason to entertain them as such.

I really don't see a reason for us making a linguistic distinction between "low-brow bigotry" and "high-brow bigotry", which is essentially what this is in practice.
When my uncle drunkenly complains about how "those stupid immigrants are everywhere and they ain't even speaking our language" - it's racism; but when a guy with a university degree writes a treatsie about how immigrants will take over and that's a problem because his bayesian priors say they're statistically less intelligent - then it's suddenly "race pseudoscience". No, both of them are the same breed of racist, the only difference is the latter had enough money to attend Yale.
but at what point do we start calling it race pseudoscience
I think the word you're looking for is "racism"
Retail customers prefer payment processors for the ability to partially or totally reverse fraudulent transactions, though
Wait, but again, isn't this the main thing that banks provide? Like I can call my bank and tell them listen, this transaction was fraudulent, and that's it, it's gone. They sometimes even call me first to double-check that a large-sum wire was actually authorised by me.
Either that, or live in some futuristic utopia like the EU where banks consider "send money to people" to be core functionality. But here in the good ol' U S of A, where material progress requires significant amounts of kicking and screaming, you had PayPal.
Wait what? Can people in the USA not, em, transfer money? What do the banks do then?
Ye it was a real "oh fuck I recognise this nick, this cannot mean anything good" moment
They were still early
OH NO, I have TERRIBLE NEWS my new FAVOURITE SHOW got CANCELLED (probably by the WOKE MOB)
Hey mate what do you think learning is. Like genuinely, if you were to describe the process of learning a subject to me.
Ok now I'm wasted af and this show rules, this is the best fucking thing ever, gather all your friends and watch this shit, they hired the Mooch and someone whose credential is that they're a YouTuber to not give money to people whose ideas are "what if X but crypto" like one of them is literally "what if water but there's an NFT on it"
The first Crypto Name they introduce is fucking Anthony "Unit of Time Measurement" Scaramucci and I got severe whiplash, I am not mentally ready to watch this, I need to refill my drug drawer
I'm sorry but what the hell is a "work trial"
