I decided to look it up, since it seems this line of discussion is very important to people.
He
last posted on that Ars Technica forum in 2012.
It's interesting how it's hardly ever brought up that in
2014, he made comments about being socially liberal and supporting basic income:
But I suppose we could continue talking about how nearly a decade ago, a nerdy white dude from North Carolina liked Ron Paul's gold standard idiocy, and pretend this automatically means he shares Ron Paul's racism by association and is therefore perfectly demonizable "far right", still today in 2019, and also pretend that this is all very relevant to the importance and impact of his actions as a whistleblower.
Or we could be having a rational discussion instead. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
