Anti-racist and anti-fascist organizing happens under the mantle of a thousand different groups all over the world. There are antifa in Russia that have it much harder than antifa in France or the UK or the US.
And yet we are asked to believe that an obscure blogger flirting with monarchist political thought would introduce a dangerous authoritarian element if allowed to present on a technical topic. Thanks for putting this into context.
This will be great news to the neoreactionaries. How do you figure?
> because it communicates a lack of concern with the threat "neo-reactionaryism" or fascism represents.
And what is the threat, if not that they will seize power?
This thinking, right here, is a problem.
Discussing an individual's technical contributions does not legitimize their political views, let alone their technical ones.
And the big threat today is not neo-reactionaryism, but zealotry in all its forms. Radicals from any group are more dangerous than moderates from a single distasteful group, and they all use exactly the same tactics to win. And if we're going to win by burying bad ideas through threats and intimidation instead of openly dismantling them through rational and ethical thought, then I'm not sure the battle is even worth winning.
