Jon Pretty

It’s amazing he had time for that whole thread but not a simple “yes of course that quote is racist and is clear white supremacy”

Yes, of course that quote is racist, and is clear white supremacy. For what it's worth, I didn't really have time to answer a demand from Travis, alongside rude private messages, on a Friday afternoon before a weekend away without a reliable internet connection.

So you agree that when De Goes wrote "[Yarvin] has never written any hate speech" and "He is not a white supremacist", he was defending a white supremacist? Because that's literally what he is threatening to sue me for writing.

I haven't seen anything which suggests John knew about it. The two quotes were several years apart, and I don't know how reasonable it is to expect someone to know what Yarvin wrote. I do, at least, think John should have had a better idea before claiming that.

we made SURE he know how racist this guy was. and This was on the heel of the when strangeloop had already, of course, publicly went through this... The thing that kills me is that he polled the URM scheduled speakers to see if they felt uncomfortable with Yarvin Speaking

I can't answer for him, but I'm judging him on the behavior that's completely contrary to the accusation, which I've witnessed extensively and exclusively, plus his attachment to libertarianism and freedom of speech, which I consider a political choice.

please realize that you saying saying "but he's been so sweet whenever I've been with him", is worth nothing, there are hundreds of people that might be willing to offer such a thing up.... This isn't about you, or the people you've "witnessed extensively and exclusively"
