Re:Curtis Yarvin wants American democracy toppled by techostritch on Friday August 02, 2024 @05:25PM (#41142823)
It’s very weird the me that Curtis Yarvun doesn’t seem to see the fundamental flaw in the whole monarch thing which is like trying to find and maintain the benevolent dictator. Maybe if I’d read his fifteen year blog history I’d see his defense of that, but like Yarvin hangs out at BDSM parties and Burning man. Seems odd to me in a country where the Conservative Party is mostly controlled by a deeply conservative religious right, that the autocrat that would win game of thrones would be remotely aligned with the vision Curtis has for the future.

Also, let’s not forget the whole, if you’re ideas are that good, why do you need a dictator to implement them, why not submit them to the marketplace of ideas, and if they’re good people will vote for them.

Yarvin probably believes he’d be sufficiently close to power in the neo-monarchy that he wouldn’t have to follow the same rules as the plebs.
