> This person thinks the "weak" should be enslaved by "strong", nonsensical and subjective categorizations where no doubt "strong" probably includes him and means people like him in this view.

Citation needed. Based on this conversation in his recent AMA that does not seem like his position: https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/4bxf6f/im_curtis_yarv...

He seems to believe that some groups are better (from the slaver's point of view) at being slaves than others are. Namely, when enslaved to do agricultural work those from agricultural societies are better slaves than those from hunter-gatherer societies.

That's quite different from saying that anyone should be enslaved.

Careful. Yarvin takes pains to be cryptic about his beliefs in his writing on line, but people who have spent time with him in the real world report that he's much more up front about it in person.

The popular interpretation of Yarvin's UR posts is probably not incorrect.
