View submission: Curtis Yarvin Says Democracy Is Done. Powerful Conservatives Are Listening.
Submission Statement:
This article is an interview with Curtis Yarvin.
Curtis Yarvin introduced the Dark Enlightenment philosophy. A belief that democracy is failed and advocates for a technomonarchy or GovCorp city-states run by tech oligarchs such as Musk and Thiel.
They believe to implement this system, a crisis or series of crises are necessary to dismantle democracy. Then through the lens of the mimetic theory designate a scapegoat or catalyst so the masses will unknowingly embrace this draconian nightmare.
Thiel is a huge proponent of the theory, who groomed JD Vance to VP position. The tech oligarchs are in the halls of power, their plan unfolding begins January 20.

A line indistinguishable from authoritarians throughout history, from the fascists of the 1920s-40s and their allies in the US back then, through to their modern incarnations in people like Putin or whatever babble these people wrap themselves in.

I worry that crashing the US dollar and economy will facilitate the dismantling of democracy.

It’s the corporate neo-feudalism I’ve been saying was on its way.
