Have you considered the possibility that maybe he actually believes the ideas he is promoting? I.e., rather than writing with the goal of trolling a bunch of people who only read his blog years later, maybe he was actually interested in the ideas he's writing about?

Sometimes people write a lot about esoteric topics - my blog is a ton of statistics and code. Maybe Yarvin is just a nerd?

I'm more referring to his effect than his intent. Call it accidental trolling.

So after effort which you describe as "exhausting" you can find racism in Moldbug's writing that you acknowledge he may not have intended.

Yep, he's definitely a villain of the worst sort.

This strikes me as a willful misinterpretation of what I meant, so I'll stop engaging with this thread here.
