Kind of reminds of Urbit where Yarvin has hinted that some of the political controversy and inscrutable design were on purpose to keep away leftists. That also goes along with Peter Thiel's (who funded Yarvin) efforts since college to build and nurture rightwing-only networks of techies.



Similar in purpose to 9front's CoC, though that's intended just get any drama out of the way and focus on the tech.

Agree with it or not, it does make some sense I guess.

Entryism has been a fairly effective strategy for subverting conservative institutions, and I don't think McCarthy style communist hunting was actually in the long run an effective solution. It just ended up creating martyrs and justified a persecution narrative that bolstered the left-wing cause.

The logical solution for the right is to form institutions with such a "stink" from a leftist point of view, that nobody wants to associate with them for fear of permanently tarnishing their reputation.
