| > I see you're taking the least charitable one, i.e., "everyone let it slide." That interpretation is incorrect. People stopped talking to him. Good, because I used your interpretation: silence. You silently enabled a white supremacy propagandist. Of course, you're certainly NOT silent when it's time to support him. (Despite your own evidence of his history of "casual racism" at a professional networking event.) So you're oddly quiet with white supremacy: you "stopped talking". But god forbid you "ignore" when a conference right next to Ferguson (StrangeLoop) declined to help promote a white supremacist's influence! (Hell, if I mocked people's favorite programming language or text editor, I'd almost certainly get a vocal reaction. Mild rebuke at least. Says everything about techies' priorities.) > As it happens, the participants were at best plurality white. And no, the PoC weren't all Asians either. That's interestingly vague: were these participants to Moldbug's "casual racism"? I imagined he only did this with obviously sympathetic audiences like you. (And what does "the PoC weren't all Asians" exactly mean? For someone berating others for interpretations you don't like, you leave open a wide range of interpretations.) |
