oh look, he's back on unherd (no freddie)
from four months ago
just tuned in and he still doesn't like democracy, and seems to find some good in north korea?
i guess he will tell us about dark enlightenment
i try to listen to unherd with freddie (i posted this a couple of years ago, maybe in this forum)
he politely interviewed yarvin and pushed back on his views/opinions
i think yarvin comes from a communist household, favors monarchy and thinks america is an oligarchy
he really likes china too
Apparently his paternal grandparents were communists, not his parents.
Yarvin's ideas have been influential among right-libertarians and paleolibertarians, and the public discourses of prominent investors like Peter Thiel have echoed Yarvin's project of seceding from the United States to establish tech-CEO dictatorships.Venture capitalist Marc Andreessen, an informal adviser to Donald Trump, has spoken approvingly of Yarvin's thinking. Political strategist Steve Bannon has read and admired his work. Vice-president JD Vance has cited Yarvin as an influence, saying in 2021, "So there's this guy Curtis Yarvin who has written about these things," which included "Retire All Government Employees," or RAGE, written in 2012. Vance said that if Trump became president again, "I think what Trump should do, if I was giving him one piece of advice: Fire every single midlevel bureaucrat, every civil servant in the administrative state, and replace them with our people. And when the courts stop you, stand before the country and say, 'The chief justice has made his ruling. Now let him enforce it.'"

There was a podcast recently that featured him... the interview maybe? He's an asshat.

Q: Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama were running a pedophile ring with Jeffrey Epstein and Joe Biden is a pedophile and the Lincoln Project are pedophiles and George Soros is a big fat pedophile
D: Hey, Matt Gaetz paid for sex with a teenage girl
Look at the list. They are all awful people. Steven 'Nazi' Miller is in there (and will be in the administration). Who do you think they are being subtle about?
I think Trump's ONLY consideration for appointments is loyalty to him, no matter what.
that's exactly right.
No counter arguments, subject matter expertise, or career focus required... just do whatever Trump feels in the moment. The good news for them: everything will be about destruction. No planning or delivery required.
But I'd be wary that we're being shown a very old magic trick: misdirection. Put up some obvious nonsense like Gaetz and the WWE person and let the radical left get all frothy about such an easy target - but miss that there are some other subtle nominations that are the REAL point.
