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

- yebyen 11y agoI 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.
