View submission: Curtis Yarvin Says Democracy Is Done. Powerful Conservatives Are Listening.
Pretty much nailed it. Though I don’t think I quite agree with switching methods of power consolidation point. I think some of the things these people want, can only be done through authoritarianism, so naturally that is what they do. They are genuinely xenophobic and probably racist. They don’t want to have to pay any more money for homeless or drug problems. They also hate the poor, homeless or desperate. Yet, they desperately need a labor force for the upkeep of all the things they *do* like. Ultimately, they want to get rid of the things they see as dirtying up their space. Is it weird at all this kind of political thought emerged out of wealthy Californians?
It’s there in Yarvin’s writings. In his romanticizing of Bourboni ruled Naples, his anecdote about having to escape parts of Italy to find refuge in what is essentially the suburbs, and his admittance that his political philosophy comes down to “order.”
Yarvin’s had an inverse Buddha story. In his confrontation with suffering, he got so scared he ran back to his lavish estate, locked the doors and demanded that everything outside the estate cease existing. I think that’s about the state of things. Rich people just generally disgusted by and afraid of poor people.
What I’m afraid this devolves into is something akin “The Handmaid’s Tale.” While they hate brown people, and the very poor, they also need young people to buy shit and work. We aren’t as a country tending towards having more children, so if they can’t figure out how to get people to have kids with incentives, then I worry they will be bold enough to use force after that.
There's nothing here!
