Not at all! I can disassociate myself from Yarvin, and even "no-platform" him while fully acknowledging that he's a legit functional programmer with interesting technical ideas. But I can't engage with him as a peer, in community, without denying or ignoring (or accepting) that he's a racist. |

If I were building a community I'd want it to be one that welcomed even those with views I found despicable so long as they could engage in thoughtful, reasonable discourse. A community should allow for people to be wrong, and still be welcome.
Having near zero interest in Curtis' political writing his recent AMA [0] and Medium post [1] come off as earnest and harmless.
