Which bits of Urbit do you see as designed to further reprehensible ideology? I'm well aware of Moldbug's political views, which you're free to call reprehensible if you want, but if there's a clear link from Urbit to those views then it's lost on me. If you're going to throw out accusations like that, you ought to justify them at least a little.
I agree that it is described confusingly. I don't understand it well enough to know one way or the other whether it's remarkable.
Old old versions of the Urbit docs talk about things like duchies being passed down from father to son, how Bitcoin is terrible because it enables immoral things, and how trolls will get kicked out of the Urbitverse for not conforming to social mores. Some people see that stuff as neoreactionary dog whistles.
Newer versions of the docs are far less political, so either Urbit has changed or they're just keeping it quiet.
