Urbit embodies Moldbug's politics.

Speaking of politics, one of the most interesting practical user-facing things about Urbit that I saw in an earlier video demo was the user choosing his or her political affiliation when registering. The claimed affiliation then acts as a mandatory filter for political conversations. You can opt out of participating in any political discussion but not opt in to more than one camp. I think this is a brilliant idea.

Finding the video (https://vimeo.com/75312418) I see that the four political associations are far-left, left, right, and far-right.

Now I need to know where the Urbit developers are based, because how these terms are interpreted is very, very, very different depending what country you're in...

America. Far right is monarchism/fascism.
