I, like most Westerners, feel a very strong revulsion at the thought of pedophilia, for example. Yet, in the cultural context of the Etoro, the Marind-ani, and 10–20% of all Melanesian tribes [1], it is the only acceptable form of sex.
Lol I'm not trying to own you, I'm reacting to Godesky's blatant pedophile apologia. He dismisses the idea that fucking kids can be considered universally immoral on the basis that some cultures have different values, then proposes "diversity" as the only normative ethical value and then conveniently ignores the child molestation thing. The logical conclusion is that he doesn't think there's anything wrong with fucking kids as long as it doesn't impede this "diversity".
His point is that morality is relative, except for diversity, the logical conclusion of which is that libertarian behavior is fine. He doesn't say it outright, but he implies it in a "just asking questions" kind of way. Maybe he didn't even realize it, I dunno. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt, but that right there's an issue with at least his anprim outlook.
I don't see the Marx connection. He used antisemitic language to make points but the points didn't lead to antisemitic concusions.
Sure, why not.

Hence the comparison to ancaps.

I don't really see how. Differences in sexual norms would just be another kind of diversity.
And I feel like it would have been good to make that argument if you do believe so after bringing it up.
