But Marxists, they're cool right? Edgy even! If you want to hold these standards and exclude someone like Moldbug, fine by me. But if you do that there, do it consistently.
Newsflash: Che Guevera executed blacks, gays, nuns, and more in cold blood; his face is now considered a bland apparel decoration. Mao and Stalin and Pol Pot and Mengistu and many others killed and caused the deaths of 10s of millions of human beings, far more than Nazis could hope for. Marxism has never gone out of fashion on the left, and prominent tech speakers display their Marxist colors proudly.
Who will boycott them and stand for the memory of the millions killed in Marxist suppression, genocide, and famine?
It would be trivial to find hundreds of twitter posts from prominent conference speakers who blatantly support Planned Parenthood, a racist, eugenicist organization that routinely causes literal death and has done far more damage to human beings of all colors than the demented windbag Moldbug will ever do.
Fact: Margaret Sanger was a eugenicist. Planned Parenthood was founded to advance eugenics, in particular against black and other non-white children.
Fact: Abortion kills 2/3 of black babies in this country.
And yet.
All of the hypocrites rioting about LambdaConf's decision on twitter would never dream of boycotting a conference based on a speaker's past support for Planned Parenthood, a racist, eugenicist organization. Think about that.
