Glad someone finally stopped pulling punches in describing Yarvin's wickedness and imbecility.

There's a kind of elegance and charm to this style of just heaping abuse on people who richly deserve it---Hunter S. Thompson was its greatest practitioner and this is in that tradition nicely.

> Glad someone finally stopped pulling punches in describing Yarvin's wickedness and imbecility

That's much too simplistic and mean spirited. We're not going to address the problems we're facing with personal dismissals. Yarvin, the man, isn't the problem. Some of his ideas are ridiculous and unworkable, but they're motivated by something real and unaddressed by many other commentators. The current zeitgeist, which is centered on personal attacks and dismissals is contributing to our problems, and inability to make any real progress at addressing them, by increasing factionalism and intellectual silos.

Edit: As to the addition you made to your comment, we live in a very different world than when Hunter S. Thompson was making his contributions.

Nobody loves these kinds of pieces more than Yarvin. Look at how important he must be!

My Yarvin-contempt bona fides are as strong as anyone's here (maybe except for 'lisper) and I resent the implication this article makes about Hacker News and "race realism". It is in fact not common here. Use the search bar. I've been monitoring this (and jumping in when it pops up) for several years now --- this and DNSSEC are my two "beats", the two things I'm careful to pay attention to --- and it comes up rarely and mostly by the same fringey actors.

Race-realism claims are almost always quickly flagged off the site by the community. Almost every time I've reported something to Dan and Tom, I've looked dumb, because it was flagged dead 2 minutes after my email landed.

We're a deeply imperfect community (like every other community, in our own idiosyncratic ways), but compared to other communities this is not one of our flaws.

Author dislikes yarvin because he's a white supremacist.

I dislike him because he denies Israel exerts control over US foreign policy, while repeatedly saying the Gaza Strip should be ethnicaly cleansed. He tries to pretend he's this subversive free thinker, but when you peel away the layers it's just another Randy Fine lurking within.

But apparently white supremacism is worse than this... other kind of supremacism he has. The supremacism we dare not prefix but which kills orders of magnitude more people.
