@Architeuthis @dgerard "...impossible to ever take anything he writes in good faith."

I wonder if this is just a really clumsy attempt to invent stretching the overton window from first principles or if he really is so terminally rationalist that he thinks a political ideology is a sliding scale of fungible points and being 23.17% ancap can be a meaningful statement.

That the exchange of ideas between friends is supposed to work a bit like the principle of communicating vessels is a pretty weird assumption, too. Also, if he thinks it's ok to admit that he straight up tries to manipulate friends in this way, imagine how he approaches non-friends.

Between this and him casually admitting that he keeps "culture war" topics alive on the substack because they get a ton of clicks, it's a safe bet that he can't be thinking too highly of his readership, although I suspect there is an esoteric/exoteric teachings divide that is mostly non-obvious from the online perspective.

So, by that token, if hypothetically you think that the Nazis got a few things right (not the war, racism or genocide, of course, or even the degenerate art, but maybe, say, the smoking bans and well-paved roads and perhaps the odd Wagnerian opera), the way to convince people is to start ranting about blood and soil and the need to exterminate the üntermenschen and wait for the nice normie liberals to politely meet you part of the way?

Hurling ordure at the TREACLES, especially those closely related to LessWrong.

AI-Industrial-Complex grift is fine as long as it sufficiently relates to the AI doom from the TREACLES. (Though TechTakes may be more suitable.)

This is sneer club, not debate club. Unless it's amusing debate.

[Especially don't debate the race scientists, if any sneak in - we ban and delete them as unsuitable for the server.]
