>>finally he plays the same semantic shellgame with his words he plays with his political essays, to convince you that the horrible political views he has aren't so horrible.

I suggest you leave your ideological biases out of your assessment of Urbit the technology. We all have our political beliefs - mine are hard libertarian, yours are hard feminist/leftist - but hopefully we can put those aside when assessing technology.

It's interesting that you want them left out and then, as an aside, bring the parent's into it.

Are you implying that anyone who hates neoreaction is a hardcore feminist/leftist or is there context I'm missing?

No I'm not implying that. I'm describing the OP's political beliefs, based on his previous comments.

As tptacek pointed out upthread, his hateful ideology is deeply ingrained in the structure of the technology. In fact, no technology is free of its creator's ideology! The argument that one should "put [ideological biases] aside when assessing technology" is, in the most charitable case, naive attachment to the status quo.
