I mean I’m more than happy to extend grace to randos, but if you’re doing journalism, come on. He’s not just a guy with opinions! He’s a leading far right intellectual!

His Wikipedia intro tells you more than enough with no “allegedly” in sight.

Urbit’s original creator, Curtis Yarvin, has reportedly espoused some extreme beliefs

bro why do you write like this

Though note that it’s a weird curriculum in a few different directions, rather than being uniformly right-wing—e.g. it has some Lacan-inspired stuff, some hippie-inspired stuff on beliefs as emotional strategies, a bunch of rationalist writing, etc.

Ah, got it. It’s not all right wing, there’s also stupid cryptofascist shitheadery.

Um, okay, I know coiners have no shortage of incompetence but this bug sounds an awful lot like malice.

It’s fascinating how they’ve appropriated that word to basically mean “dumbest fucking nazi grifters who make vlogs”

I really like how in the past couple of years they’ve decided model collapse just isn’t a thing anymore.

Point 1 is very funny, like, what’s the difference? Randoids are children.

Yeah, I wouldn’t speculate either. Not only is it distasteful, the whole rationalist scene runs on chuunibyou and they would all love the public to think they’re able to mind control people into carrying out their evil plans.
