Comment on FUTOs VM Setup for newbies
TomAwezome@lemmy.world 3 days agoOh, thanks, this is the first I’ve ever heard of Curtis Yarvin. Did he say anything bad during those opportunities to speak? I’m not sure it’s “evil” to interview someone.

Excerpt from the Wikipedia introduction:
Yarvin has been described as a “neo-reactionary”, “neo-monarchist” and “neo-feudalist” who “sees liberalism as creating a Matrix-like totalitarian system, and who wants to replace American democracy with a sort of techno-monarchy”.[14][15][16][17] He has defended the institution of slavery, and has suggested that certain races may be more naturally inclined toward servitude than others.[3][18] He has argued that whites have inherently higher IQs than black people,[18] and opposes U.S. civil rights programs.[19]

Wow, he does sound pretty nasty, that’s messed up. I don’t see though how FUTO interviewing a bad person makes the organization evil though.

There’s a difference between interviewing someone and helping thrm share their message

Is that what they were doing? I haven’t seen videos of them ‘platforming’ Curtis so I don’t know whether they were helping him proliferate any specific message
