@buckminster said in Why is the Ray Peat community so far right?:

To answer the original question "why is the ray peat community so far right?"

I think what your getting at is why has it attracted so many neo nazis and fascists. That is a question many peaters wrestle with. Because in many ways it makes zero sense. When you read rays work, he makes some of the best critiques of racism, eugenics, genetics, and fascism. The philosophy is so antithetical to Ray's work, that it boggles the mind how anyone can think these communities are remotely compatible.

The obvious answer is bap. Even though Ray had been steadily working for many decades prior, bap was one of the first people with a cult-like following to promote his work- bringing in an army of his loyal fans.

I think the more sinister explanation is it's a psyop campaign to discredit ray and destroy his work and legacy.

"John Ioannidis’ article 'Why most research findings are false' is worth reading. Things discussed on 'forums' aren’t. Ordinary corporate advertising has been supplemented by the much more economical practice of hiring product reviewers to slander competing products, joining multiple forums with their 'unhappy experiences.'"

At this point I'm pretty convinced at least some amount of the hate fueled posters are paid for my some firm in the pharmaceutical industry. Likely some poorly paid bot farm in a 3rd world country. In the history of cointelpro operations, this would be pretty affordable and effective. Half the time when engaging with these folks they have obviously not even read rays work.

they are shitty critiques as per usual. however, you're 100% right that it's entirely incompatible as Ray Peat is a marxist, materialist, anarcho-communist, ... he thinks genes are essentially irrelevant and in doing so ignores 100 years of research on behavioural genetics. the few comments he made about such things as twin studies were petty and cringe. a look at himself and his followers provides you all you need to know regarding the veracity of his claims
