    His politics are actually really weird and this isn’t that abnormal for him. He’s without a doubt a fascist but he’s claimed to be a communist for years while describing his views as the most techno-feudalist fever dream you could come up with

    Highly recommend reading his wikipedia page

      The Behind the Bastards podcast did a series on him and it is genuinely fascinating. I get the feeling that he’s a wannabe intellectual but because he made friends with Thiel in college he got pulled into tech rather than lounging around a bohemian flatshare in Berlin with his harem of mistresses.

    Doesn’t nearly everyone think of their own opinions as progressive? Is progress not something we generally consider a positive thing, culturally? So this is a somewhat meaningless story.

      No, conservatives are by definition against progress. I mean, maybe they support something that they see as “economic progress” (as in growing the economy, not making it more egalitarian), but definitely not social progress. They specifically want to “conserve” the status quo or want to go backwards to how it was in the past, in other words, regression.

      I had this conversation with my dad many years ago, because he’s not progressive- he compared culture to a herd of lemmings (I know it’s not really what they do) that might “progress” to an unsustainable place.

      I don’t think so. I suppose just anecdotal but I doubt it. Everyone thinks of themselves as the good person in their story but that doesn’t mean progressive. Change=bad for many
