View submission: Curtis Yarvin Says Democracy Is Done. Powerful Conservatives Are Listening.
Not a bad interview as far as these things go, Marchese did directly challenge Yarvin and as much as I reject Yarvin and his world view he did not get worked up about it so between them the interview covered a decent amount of ground.
Yarvin plays fast and loose with history and it's interpretation and his definitions are pretty weird. Sometimes he asks the right questions or makes decent points but he's inconsistent ( a few times in this interview he got away with it) but worst of all - all of it comes from a fundamentally very dark place.
Yarvin is what passes for the current intellectual justification for authoritarianism and furthering the plutocracy hence why so many of his fans are the worst humans you can think of.

This guy is someone’s drunk uncle at Thanksgiving vibes. I don’t think he’s really taken seriously as much as used as faux intellectual justification for horrible people to advocate horrible things. I do think the interviewer did a lot to call him out.
But I also feel like this interview needed a post-interview discussion. I’m glad I found it here, because I needed to see other people who thought this was a train wreck.
