You mean because of my schadenfreude over Carl and his fans vs Patreon?
Gonna be square with you here: I'm not going to lay down my life in defense of whichever techbros are running Patreon. I don't believe for a second that their deplatforming of Carl is because they have some sort of commitment to confronting the toxicity of "alt lite" propaganda, specially given their main argument for deplatforming him. Yeah, Carl the dipshit used the n-word. It was a stupid stunt, even in context, because trying to beat actual nazis through a "by your own logic" tactic with racist slurs is about as clever as texting a bunch of BDSM gay porn at religious conservatives. But stupid though it was, I wouldn't have placed it anywhere near any top reasons for deplatforming him.
I will be honest and say I'm surprised he's still relevant enough to have had a patreon to get deleted.
