He has said he is amenable to white nationalist writings. http://unqualified-reservations.blogspot.com/2007/11/why-i-am-not-white-nationalist.html http://unqualified-reservations.blogspot.com/2007/11/why-i-a...
He has expounded at length on the suitability of certain races for slavery.
He has frequently called for the dissolution of the form of government that has spent decades and an incredible body count to outlaw slavery.
Mysteriously this doesn't quite add up to a wholesale endorsement of enacting slavery in the US. Just in whatever part of the world he'd like to help Thiel and the ultra-conservative libertarian people build.
And quite frankly, plain naked racism is almost always the justification for enacting slavery. Just because it's convenient for him to say he doesn't endorce active conversion to his "natural" relationship today doesn't mean that the notions aren't a direct precursor and a justification for said actions.
- tptacek 11y agoLet's not beat around the bush. It is straightforward, but tedious, to put together the sequence of things he's written that makes it clear that when he talks about the suitability of different races for slavery, what he is really talking about is the suitability for "blacks" --- a racial construct he appears to buy into wholeheartedly --- for slavery. He is, in fact, (creepily) fixated on blacks vs. whites.
