Rationalists are weird and not nearly as smart as they think they are. But "alt-right" they are not, and that article was completely ridiculous.

The rationalist community is kind of bizarre and definitely has its share of big problems (see x/acc and Sam Bankman-Fried). But they're not some hate-spewing fascists, and treating them as pariahs on the basis of a few deliberately decontextualized quotes hardly seems fair.
