i lasted about 15 minutes. it was interesting how moldbug manages to say absolutely nothing while using a tremendous amount of words.

There's something repulsive about him too, like Wormtongue from Lord of the Rings. The way he looks and carries himself.

chat show hosts just scour the internet for freaks to fill the time. ellen degeneres was always scooping up some 4 year old

Yarvin's parents and step father were apparently all in the US foreign service and he was moved around a lot as a child before being put in one of those gifted and talented programs . . .

One of the big political moves happening at the moment is the ongoing capture of the Republican Party by Trumpism which includes a rhetorical shift around Jan 6 from condemnation to mitigation and even justification. The radicalisation of the GOP mainstream has been happening at political warp-speed in the last 12 months, so I guess I’m viewing it in that context.

Someone did a big piece on his brother and father,

The Father, The Son, and The Mencius Moldbug

Curtis Yarvin, the “libertarian” far-right blogger, who's famed for calling for a military coup in USA and for his campaign RAGE (Retirement of All Government Employees), is a genius to some and a crypto-fascist to others. This investigation exposes lesser known Yarvin family history, their ties...

What are your general feelings about Jan 6?
