Curtis Yarvin's shtick isn't much of anything. It's '1) I, a spoiled child, filled with peevish resentment 2) how do I get rid of things that annoy me? 3) destroy everything that upholds them 4) worship a king' interspersed with various quotes from works that he is too dumb/craven to understand. - ThreadSky

1. Destroy all of society 2. ??? 3. Rule over a pile of skulls. There is no coherent system here, no logistical practicality, a very shallow narrow view of history and massive misunderstanding of common peopl. I see no real plan. His ideas won’t work, but a lot of people will die figuring that out.

It’s fascism.

yes so any sort of intellectual apparatus connected to it will be rather pointless given that what grounds it are things like peevish feelings, greed, hate, fear, ignorance.

also the networked states shit is laughably divorced from material reality—boring, ancient shit like "potable water," "arable land," and "mineral deposits." their expertise begins and ends at disintermediation apps and mobile payments.

One thing that bothers them is that they should be GODS given the money they have but they are wholly useless and unnecessary. When they die, which they will, it will not matter at all. We don't need them in any way. Everything they have made is ultimately worthless and could be made by anyone.

it's like a type of pathology where they want to live inside a video game, one that they have written (they could not write a good one, lack imagination), where all characters are somehow controlled by their own whims, nothing happens that is not pleasing to them. They believe they are OWED this.

Yes, that's also absurd--they're continually spinning out shit as cover for the fact being 'subject' to reality, the reality of other humans is irksome to them. They fantasize a world where they can exploit us, extract our life, kill us but somehow remain untouched and unaffected by our existence.

I think this is exactly correct. I still am not sure whether or not they think their policies are going to be popular. They are certainly acting like they will never have to face an election again. If they know their ideas are unpopular, then they must have a plan for not having any more elections.

samziegler.bsky.social•4 days ago

That's my biggest concern. I don't see yet what that plan would be. Maybe Musk thinks he can just buy any election he feels he needs to.

Yeah they really think it’s as simple as playing a game or Civ II

rowyourbot.bsky.social•4 days ago

Bingo. You can understand their pathology very well if you know a bit about strategy games like that.
