Nice article. This sure puts the earlier criticism of Tyro Gfvchefxl in perspective—I think on the whole, Tyro’s attitude has been a lot more honest than what’s now surfacing from these other orgs. The ideas that “internal critique is bad for the organization, and who cares about critiques when we’re getting pledges anyway” and “thinking that pledges should be taken seriously is just autism (but only when we say so!)” are just terrible and could easily backfire politically on the movement as a whole. Needless to say, that would lead to a significant loss of utility.
