I have no dogs in C++ internal politics, I haven't written C++ for years.
But the author of that post clearly has some very fairly serious mental problems.

I do not know what prompted you to write this remark, but I can assure that working long time on a C++ codebase and trying to keep up with the changes in the language can indeed result in a lasting mental damage.
Mainly the Beautiful Mind stuff about the Boost logo being a dog whistle for the SS, and also "Cosmopolitan" clearly being a reference to Stalin's "Rootless Cosmopolitanism".
Also it's it's very disjointed, long, and incoherent. Classic schizo post.
That logo thing is super fishy. According to https://lists.boost.org/Archives/boost/2024/07/257143.php It cost $12000 to design professionally, yet it was dropped from the site after staying there only two months.
If you look at the USPTO bw image, it immedeately invokes Schutzstaffel if you ever have seen their insignia, and only later you kinda maybe see it is a "B"
For a paid professional logo design, not being aware of, like, one of the most widely known evil logos after swastika, I mean, ok.
Plus the whole "we want to own your logo trademark please" with regards to an opensource project, what even actually is going on there
