Thank you, I appreciate that.

This is correct. Yarvin has a concept called "American Caesar" and it appears that while Elon Musk is Trump's chosen Caesar, JD Vance is certainly Peter Thiel's.

He's the sponsor of JD Vance, Curtis Yarvin, and Bronze Age Pervert. He's also been a long time business partner of Musk, as explained here:

I have a substack dedicated to this subject, including an article that explains the link between Yarvin, Thiel, and JD Vance:

This is correct -- I recently wrote an article on Thiel and his connections to Yarvin, Musk, and JD Vance here:

It is likely that Elon Musk pays people to tweet for him, just like he paid people to play video games for him. I wrote about it here:

Elon Musk claims to be a sort of polymath super genius. In reality, this is far from the truth. See this article:

Elon Musk is seen as a polymath super genius when, in reality, he is mostly a fraud. I wrote about it here:

Well, plus Elon Musk is seen as a polymath super genius, when the truth is he is much more plain than that. I have an article about that as well:

It's more than that. Think Francisco Franco or Julius Caesar -- that is their chosen model. They're looking for an "American Caesar". Trump wants that to be Musk. Yarvin/Thiel want it to be JD Vance. I have a substack dedicated to this phenomenon:

He is, but, honestly, Yarvin gets a "pass" from them.

This is a key part of Curtis Yarvin's Butterfly Revolution. All important public AND private institutions have to be leveled to the ground and "re-made" in an authoritarian, right-wing image.

This is all part of the Yarvin/Thiel/Musk plan. They want to completely re-make the most "important" public and private institutions. Taking them over will take too long, so they are content to destroy them. This is what Yarvin's "Butterfly Revolution" is:

Sure, but the people behind him, the ones pulling his strings, like Curtis Yarvin, Peter Thiel, and JD Vance, are quite smart. I write about it here:

All by design. The system is intended to break so that it can be re-made and mostly privatized. This is Curtis Yarvin's RAGE playbook.

This is a good start, but I have an entire substack dedicated to this subsection, defining the "New Right" connection between Musk, Thiel, Yarvin, and JD Vance. I recommend starting here:

The ultimate goal is outlined in Curtis Yarvin's "Butterfly Revolution" they, essentially, want to hit the reset button on all important institutions, both public and private, and re-make them according to their ideology. I write about it here:

I don't think so. Musk is Trump's guy. They are both, at heart, marketers. Zuckerberg does not have any marketing talent. I explain here:

I disagree in the sense that Yarvin and Thiel are quite smart. They are, at heart, dedicated libertarians who believe that achieving a libertarian paradise is impossible but, ironically, through authoritarianism. I have a whole substack dedicated to this:

Thank you. But please understand where DOGE is coming from. It's all part of Curtis Yarvin's playbook. These are very dangerous people. I wrote about the link between Yarvin and DOGE here:

This article and the substack you linked are good, but I have a dedicated substack to the New Right -- particularly the intersection of Musk, Thiel, Yarvin, and JD Vance. It is quite detailed. I recommend starting here:

I wrote a substack article linking Yarvin's RAGE/Butterfly revolution to the activities of Elon Musk's DOGE here:

Yeah the article was definitely written from a neutral perspective. It could have delved into his much more controversial views, but did not.
comment in response to
post
Of course, I always appreciate citations/referrals to my substack articles. Share away.
Helpful information -- I'm a former "member" so to speak of the New Right. I'm acquainted with Yarvin. I've communicated with Bronze Age Pervert. I have something of an "insider's" perspective on these folks.

I'm not so sure about that. Yarvin is a really controversial character. He's listened to by the Silicon Valley elite (e.g. Thiel/Musk/Vance) but, beyond that, his ideas are fringe to most Americans. Plus he's just a bad character. I think exposing him more is more beneficial than harmful.
comment in response to
post
There are really three camps in the New Right:
1. MAGA populists (think Steve Bannon)
2. Christian Nationalists
3. Silicon Valley techno-authoritarians (Thiel, Musk, Yarvin)
The Silicon Valley camp is in thorough control of the Right, but needs the other two groups to function as its "face."

I too have dedicated an entire substack to describing the "New Right" which has been overtaken by Yarvin's philosophy. Their ultimate goal is to institute a "techno-libertarian paradise" (think Rapture from BioShock) through thoroughly authoritarian means.

I have an entire substack dedicated to this topic. I touch on a lot of these concepts but in greater detail. If you're interested in learning more about this, I recommend starting here:

I've got a pretty thorough explanation of these connections on my substack, if you're interested. I recommend starting here:

Better do it now. Yarvin's billionaire patron, Peter Thiel, blames women's suffrage for the "decline" of government over the 20th/21st centuries.
comment in response to
post
Yarvin believes in so called "elite theory" where only a small subset of individuals are fit to rule government. I think the ultimate goal of DOGE is to weaken government to the extent that it ceases to function, thus forcing the privatization of massive parts of the federal government.

I have a pretty thorough explanation of this on by substack -- particularly the connection between DOGE and Curtis Yarvin's RAGE:

Also, compared to the linked article, I give a much better explanation of Yarvin's philosophy on my substack:
jfhatfield.substack.com/p/explaining...
comment in response to
post
I disagree, at least the part about Yarvin's ideas being taken seriously. They need to be taken very, very seriously. The MAGA movement has been co-opted my Silicon Valley venture capitalists who very much subscribe to Yarvin's corporate monarchy/American Caesar ideology. This isn't going away.
comment in response to
post
He's not really leading it. I'm fully convinced Elon Musk is. Yarvin forms of the ideological basis for DOGE and is funded by Peter Thiel who, if you remember, was partners with Elon Musk in their PayPal days. Yarvin mostly just writes stupid articles and appears on podcasts these days.
comment in response to

It's coming. The ultimate vision of Trump/Yarvin/Musk is to "reboot" all federal, state, and local governments, as well as "important" private institutions, and replace them with a single corporate monarchy.
