We're strangers to each other. Don't call me "dishonest" ("ridiculously biased and unfair" is fair game, though, obviously, I disagree). I'll similarly refrain from doing the same to you.I've read both of Yarvin's Medium posts. I think perhaps you only read one of of them. Given the degree of stridency in your objection to my comment, I'm guessing you also haven't carefully read the Mencius Moldbug posts that kicked all this stuff off (th
Yep, that's the guy. Below is a good example of his more combative ideas. He's far off from Milo, but that was kind of my point, because he's definitely on that side of the aisle.http://www.thedailybeast.com/antiracism-our-flawed-new-relig...
calling someone a Nazi is a strong accusation, but the guy did repeat some extreme-right talking points. one of the footnotes basically repeats the argument that "cultural Marxism" has taken over the left. This is a common right-wing talking point often connected to an antisemitic conspiracy theory involving the Frankfurt School.I doubt the guy is an actual Nazi, but just like you I'm not specialized enough to evaluate his psychological and biological claims (although I'd
> > He denounced the neoreactionaries, the anti-democratic, often racist movement popularized by Curtis Yarvin. But he also gave them a platform. His “blog roll” — the blogs he endorsed — included the work of Nick Land, a British philosopher whose writings on race, genetics and intelligence have been embraced by white nationalists.> So he denounced the works of one person who believes bad things, but he also linked to a second person, who may or may not believe bad things, but is lik
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512> One of the most persuasive things you could do in this situation would be to post a quote written by Chris. Posting a quote from Moldbug would be the second most persuasive thing. Failing either of those, are we supposed to just take your word for it that the dude should be excluded from society? > This whole "label and exclude" thing is for the birds. Why not judge ideas instead of people?Don't mind if I do:- From my
I'm not familiar with Richard Spencer or David Duke's content, but I have heard plenty of Stefan Molyneux's, and> by alleging that members of protected groups were inferior.From the article is an outright lie, that simply flat out never happened.If this is what "the people" are demanding, this should be taken as evidence that "the people" are to put it bluntly, fucking retarded.But that is no great surprise by this point in time of course.
The author of these slides is a known racist. He was banned from HN for posting racist comments: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14115498His slides reveal his biases. Slide 41 cites a graph taken from a white supremacist twitter account (if it's not a Russian troll).It's possible that AOC made a couple of minor computer science mistakes. But it's very clear that she&

I'd suggest reading the NY Times article on him [1], as well as his rebuttal [2]I don't think the Times was entirely fair in their coverage. But as a long time SSC/ACX reader I've often felt a subtext of racialist beliefs lurking in the corner. He never comes right out and says it, but e.g. praising Charles Murray is more than a dog whistle.To be clear - I'm distinguishing racialism (which believes there are large, measurable, genetic differences in traits l
