I think some of the disagreement about moderation of Luigi's Mansion comes from people missing the boat on his actual politics. He was not just a wacky musk stan, here is one of the guys I saw listed in connection with him: https://substack.com/@picopaco/notes note the hits such as "Racial Group Differences are primarily genetic in origin" and "The Great Palestine Lie". I saw a few other nazi adjacent people on his substack and twitter, but I cant find it anymore, same goes for the thing where luigi actually follows this guy. If anyone has the actual post, I would appreciate a link to it!

I would be more sympathetic to trying to claim him if he was just talking about how AI is going to do whatever stuff tech bros are talking about now, and I would assume most people trying to claim him are thinking he was in this group.

Would you rather the right claim him?

I can cheer for the act and use it as a jumping-off point for talking to people about how capitalism thrives on our suffering. I don't have to like this guy or defend him in any way other than "yeah that was pretty fuckin funny huh?"

I mean, he's also a snacc.

But I agree, there's very little point pretending he was a model human being, just because he did a good thing.

This is literal Nazi shit, did you at least look at that first link? Absolutely reprehensible. That kind of stuff is not mainstream and very easy to avoid unless you're a mega-racist and actively looking for it.

If I was a nazi with connections to a guy who just shot a billionaire I'd probably hide my connection to him too so as to not be accused of radicalising him.
