Curtis Yarvin and The Intellectual Cruelty that Inspires Musk, Vance and the Broligarchy

An intellectually mediocre, white supremacist conspiracy theorist who believes in monarchies is the philosopher muse of modern day billionaires who now run MAGA and influence US policies.

Corporate media is finally catching up to investigative reporter Gil Duran, editor of The Nerd Reich and the FrameLab Substack, and other independent journalists who have tried to sound the alarm on the extremist, white supremacist ideologies and “philosophers” that inform our modern, psychotic billionaire class.

The New Yorker just published a major profile on one such reactionary, pseudo-intellectual, Curtis Yarvin, whose greatest contribution to humanity was to allow a reporter to expose his dangerous, bat-shit mediocrity. This is the man who believes democracies are incompatible with capitalism and favors monarchies ruled, naturally, by white billionaires who allegedly represent the apotheosis of human evolution. In addition to eugenics and half-baked conspiracies, Yarvin believes in a natural hierarchy where the rest of us will assume our rightful place as hard-working peons grateful to be led by the innate brilliance of these billionaire visionaries who will save humanity.

Well, not everyone.

Those who are “non-productive” will be transformed into “biodiesel.” Soylent Green in the future will indeed be the “non-productive” people. To quote Senator Joni Ernst: “Well, we are all going to die.” Except, of course, Senator Ernst, Musk, and their MAGA allies, who are lucky enough to have first-class health care, benefits, crypto, and stock options. They might even join Musk on his spaceship to Mars, where they will merge with AI and live forever.

Unfortunately, this dollar-store dystopian ideology is not just some fringe nonsense parrotted by internet trolls. This is the philosophy and mindset of the broligarchy that now intersects fully with the MAGA movement. One of Yarvin’s biggest fans is Vice President J.D. Vance, who was groomed by billionaire Peter Thiel and hand-delivered to the White House. Corporate media and Democrats still haven’t done enough to shed light on these dangerous sociopaths, their beliefs, and their plans for humanity, even as we’re seeing snapshots through their recent cruel quotes and plans to gut Medicaid and SNAP.

Thankfully, we have Duran, who has been on it for two years, and he joins me to connect the dots.
