Just read him already. Stop pretending like you have sufficient understanding of his thought just because you've seen some shitposts about it.

Read gentle intro, he writes like a teenager. Utterly juvenile

His style is polarizing, some people really enjoy it. Keep in mind he wrote it way back in 200x.

Moldberg a preening humanist idiot who writes like a freshman desperately trying to reach the required word-count for some essay. Obscurantism isn't a mark of high intelligence. He's a complete fraud.

I think he is good for pointing out the flaws in democracy, and also pointing out that our current state is garbage, but I haven’t found much value in him past that. Past anti-democracy he seems like a pseud, a materialist, an atheist, haven’t seen anything insightful about morality or a purpose higher than politics so far... I believe everything he has said has been said before by wiser men. But I still enjoyed reading him and would recommend it if you are just getting into politics
