I hope someday Mount Rushmore is blown up and right down in front of the rubble, we put a little bronze statue of this guy. And please save any "well actually..." sputtering for someone else.

He carries on.

Amidst the destruction of a way of life, it's the little events you didn't realize would change, that really cut you. One is bowled over by the immensity of the wide-angle perspective, but knifed by the little realizations.

And felt even more dramatically by people of privilege like myself.

Right now, I'm trying to imagine how this species will celebrate its technological advances if after all, the first humans to venture out to the stars and inhabit other worlds...are Nazis.

The New York Times - Curtis Yarvin Says Democracy is Done⤴︎

I remember having this argument with people online when I was back in New York. The old, “We need to run this country like a corporation!” So simplistic, and even more importantly, very cynical.

I would often respond by asking, “In this scenario, who are the shareholders and who are the customers?” You don’t have to follow this metaphor for very long before you realize how problematic it is.

Right off the bat, you see Yarvin’s inability to make a distinction between Trump and a quality leader. And with Vance, he gets a pass because both he and Roosevelt were from the educated class?

There will never be a time when I trust the billionaire class to sort themselves out and produce effective leaders. Never.
