  1. Peter Thiel wrote a forward for the Sovereign Individual, by Davidson and Rees-Mogg,
    which says that the shift from “mass democracy” to “individual sovereignty” can happen “invisibly”
    (and without a shift in public opinion)
    via tax-free zones and free ports

    And that the power of nation states will eventually splinter into fragments

    "Der neue Reaktionär Curtis #Yarvin und die Versuchung der smarten Tyrannei. - Curtis Yarvin träumt vom Ende der Demokratie und einem amerikanischen Autokraten. Seine autoritären Ideen treffen den Nerv einer erschöpften Zeit und begeistern rechte Eliten wie Tech-Milliardär Peter #Thiel oder US-Vizepräsident J.D. #Vance. " von Ava Kofman

  5. Wir sehen den radikalen Antidemokraten Peter #Thiel am exkklusiven Tisch, behind closed doors, mit #Professoren der #Universität #Innsbruck, #Oxford und dann zu Besuch in Orbans #Budapest. Danach sehen wir den ähnlich schlimmen Curtis #Yarvin im exklusiven Hotel Schloss #Elmau, wo einst die G-7 tagte. Es ist offenbar bei einigen Professoren und Reichen jetzt modisch, sich mit #Antidemokraten geheim zu treffen und sich am Duft der antidemokratischen #Radikaltät zu erfreuen. (1 von 3)

  7. #Yarvin has weaponized Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings, seeing the leftist elite or professional-managerial class as an “elf aristocracy,” the “lower-middle class” as “hobbits,” and “dark elves” like himself as defenders of the hobbits. Like #SteveBannon, with whom he identifies, Yarvin sees himself as a proponent of #MAGA; but, unlike Bannon, he deemphasizes the contradiction between the lower-middle class MAGA forces and the monopoly-capitalist billionaires at the top.

  8. ”Thiel, Musk and Vance, among others, are extremely close to…Curtis Yarvin, whose political philosophy is…to basically completely privatize the state and install a CEO in place of the president, who would rule essentially as a dictator… It’s amazing that people have allowed people like…Thiel or even Yarvin himself to masquerade as so-called libertarians when they’re very in favor of the authoritarian abilities of the state.”
    —Whitney Webb (The Chris Hedges Report)

    If a communist were elected … then it would be the will of the people.

    The WH has power to take over a state’s elections?

    Yes…we are walking into fascism.

    And don’t forget, the Trumps are not allowed to run charities out of NY. They know their game.

  22. Curtis #Yarvin, the monarchist, anti-democracy

    He stands out among #FarRight as one who’s spent most time plotting how #US govt could be toppled & replaced with a #monarch, #CEO or #dictator

    He argues a visionary leader or startup guy like, he says, #Napoleon or #Lenin should seize absolute power

    To achieve what he wants is absolute power & getting to a place to pull that off

  24. #Musk #Yarvin #ThirdParty

    "As Elon Musk studies up on how to start a third political party, among the people from whom he has sought advice is a somewhat surprising choice of consultant: the right-wing blogger Curtis Yarvin, who is perhaps best known for advocating monarchism.

    Mr. Yarvin is one of the most influential thinkers on the so-called tech right, where he has attracted attention for his oft-expressed distaste for traditional American democracy.
    He would not seem to be a source of the kind of expertise that Mr. Musk needs as he pursues his idea for the America Party — Mr. Yarvin is not an expert on the mechanics of creating third parties or on the strategies and intricacies of running third-party campaigns.

    Still, Mr. Musk and Mr. Yarvin spoke late last week about the task ahead, according to two people briefed on the conversation who insisted on anonymity to describe it. A representative for Mr. Musk did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Mr. Yarvin declined to be interviewed.
    Some of Mr. Yarvin’s friends over the years have included technology leaders like Peter Thiel and Marc Andreessen, and Vice President JD Vance has cited his writing."

  26. Oates probably has the good fortune to never have heard of Dominic #Cummings. He fits this profile even more closely than #Yarvin, the uber-fascist ideologue to #Thiel, #Vance and friends. And was indeed deleted by #BloJo 🤡 with the flick of a Covid-y wrist, when he upset Johnson's girlfriend 😂

  31. #Yarvin is basically your psychotic libertarian college roommate from hell who never went to parties. He just stayed in his dorm room reading Ayn Rand and descending into madness.

  32. @Daojoan
    The men in charge of these llm megaprojects are ivy league educated, lifelong readers of the science fiction of the last century - they read the stories predicting exactly what we see happening, and exactly what is being explained here.

    What if that *is* the point? If alongside profit for themselves, the reason LLMs must replace anything they can as fast as they can is to hasten the atrophy of critical thinking, replacing it with a dependance on - who other - big tech oligarchs.

    They also read #yarvin.

    "The plan was simple. It started by retiring all government employees by offering them incentives to leave and never return. To avoid anarchy and keep authority, the police and military would be retained.

    Government funds would be seized and the money redirected to more worthwhile pursuits. Court orders pushing back against these measures as 'unconstitutiona should be summarily ignored. The press should be massaged and censored as necessary. Finally, universities, scientific institutions, and NGOs should also be snapped off, their funding terminated.

    These moves resemble many made (or attempted) in the first 100 days of the second Trump administration. But they were all laid out in 2012 by a single person: Curtis Yarvin."

  37. In February, #Marc #Andreessen described the #Chatham #House group chats to the podcaster #Lex #Fridman as “the equivalent of [Soviet era] #samizdat
    “The combination of encryption and disappearing messages really unleashed it,” he said. The chats, he wrote recently, helped produce our national “vibe shift.”
    They have rarely been discussed in public, though you can catch the occasional mention in, for instance, a podcast debate between #Mark #Cuban and the Republican entrepreneur #Vivek #Ramaswamy, which started in a chat.

    But they are made visible through a group consensus on social media.
    Their effects have ranged from the mainstreaming of the monarchist pundit #Curtis #Yarvin to a particularly focused and developed dislike of the former Washington Post writer #Taylor #Lorenz.

    They succeeded at avoiding leaks (until, to a modest extent, this article) in part because of Signal’s and WhatsApp’s #disappearing #message features,
    and in part because the groups had formed out of a mix of fear and disdain for journalists they believed were “out to get us,” as one member put it.
    “People during 2020 felt that there was a monoculture on social media, and if they didn’t agree with something, group chats became a safe space to debate that, share that, build consensus, feel that you’re not alone,”
    said #Erik #Torenberg, an entrepreneur who was the first employee of the tech community hub Product Hunt.
    As #Krishnan was setting up a set of tech group WhatsApp chats at a16z, #Torenberg independently founded a group of tech chats on WhatsApp and some more political Signal chats.

    “They’re having all the private conversations because they weren’t allowed to have the public conversations,” Andreessen told Torenberg on a recent podcast,
    after claiming in the name of secrecy that he’d never heard of such groups.
    “If it wasn’t for the censorship all of these conversations would have happened in public, which would have been much better.”
    Their creations took off:
    “It might not seem like it, because of all the sh*t that people still post on X, but the internet has fragmented,”
    the Substack author #Noah #Smith wrote after my inquiries for this story spilled into public Saturday.
    “Group chats are now where everything important and interesting happens.”

  38. @berlinfokus #Grimes called her child Paul Atreides (i.e. a chosen one, tasked with becoming a great leader): “When I see X,” she said to Vanity Fair, “like, I just know X is going to have to go through all this really fucked-up shit that sort of mirrors Paul-type stuff. I was just crying my eyes out the whole movie.”

    Grimes *says* she doesn't support "the far alt right" (v. ambiguous) and doesn't want her children publicly posted. But previous statements and actions indicate this is not true. She went to a $50,000 per head dinner in support of #vivekramaswamy (reddit.com/r/grimezs/comments/), as well as a #MAGA inauguration party with #Yarvin and #CurtisYarvin's wedding. She has actually consistently supported MAGA and also said she likes the #patriarchy.

    I feel bad for the kids. Nobody else. #Musk #Doge #abolishdoge

  39. Even at this late stage, the combination of such an extreme lack of self-awareness and so much self-pity all wrapped up in a single person is just astonishing.

    ====

    Yarvin seems shocked that Musk (with zero government experience except for a reliance on government contracts) is doing such a poor job. He also seems chagrined at Trump's specific actions, like tariffs, which are throwing markets into chaos. In political terms, the whole thing is a total disaster. By early 2025, millions of Americans are marching in streets and even Republican voters are showing up at town halls to express seething anger.

    Yarvin seems to have come to a stark realization: If Musk/Trump fail to destroy the democratic system, extreme anti-government pseudo-intellectuals may face a bleak future. He urgently warns them against half-assing the revolution – and reveals his own fear of what might happen when the pendulum swings in the other direction:

    But in the end, it is the road toward winding up in the foam yourself—probably with me, for all my troubles. (This is what usually happens to right-wing intellectuals, actually.)
