So despite the nitpicking they did of the Guardian Article, it seems blatantly clear now that Manifest 2024 was infested by racists. The post article doesn’t even count Scott Alexander as “racist” (although they do at least note his HBD sympathies) and identify a count of full 8 racists. They mention a talk discussing the Holocaust as a Eugenics event (and added an edit apologizing for their simplistic framing). The post author is painfully careful and apologetic to distinguish what they personally experienced, what was “inaccurate” about the Guardian article, how they are using terminology, etc. Despite the author’s caution, the comments are full of the classic SSC strategy of trying to reframe the issue (complaining the post uses the word controversial in the title, complaining about the usage of the term racist, complaining about the threat to their freeze peach and open discourse of ideas by banning racists, etc.).

    I’d bet five dollars that he brought them snakes out for everyone to pet and it was super awkward for a bit, but maybe I’m just unfairly prejudiced against snake guys.

      Yarvin’s reptile enthusiasm may be the first endearing thing I’ve heard about him, ever.
