Strange. His political blog has been inactive for over a year.

  He's been busy writing Urbit (and raising a family.)

    That's my point. His political persona has been dormant for long enough that this decision seems suspect.

      I have a friend who is a level-headed critical thinker that reads a lot more than I do, who did read Moldbug when he was publishing, and he still hates Moldbug and I can hear the blood start boiling when I ask him to explain why. I won't ask again. One of the sad facts of the internet is, whether you are the one saying "[X person] is a racist" or "[X person] is not a bigot", to the casual observer all they see is (conversation) "[X person] blah blah racist bigot." I can understand why this decision was made, even if I don't agree with it. The people calling out Yarvin would have made it uncomfortable for everyone. So, go ahead and get on with your conference then.

        This is called a heckler's veto and it's a terrible precedent to set at what is (nominally) a non-partisan, non-political tech conference.

      It doesn't matter. Once you're on the left wing shit list it never, ever goes away.
