Not sure if you disagree with me or if you're just being sarcastic.

Being enslaved is an awful fate but it is a hell of a lot better than being slaughtered because your oppressors can't find a use for you.

You may think that such a statement is merely logical, but it becomes rather something else when one, like Moldbug, has a long history of rhetoric where it seems pretty clear his sympathies are with the oppressors.
No, it's not merely logical, it's instrumental. Curtis Yarvin had a bone to pick with progressive society. I think it's highly likely that he still thinks it is ignorant, just as it does of him.

However, I don't think misconstruing his words is a good attack. The dust eventually settles.
