Panicked Curtis Yarvin—JD Vance’s guru—plans to flee USA
The arsehole was quoted:
The second Trump revolution, like the first, is failing. It is failing because it deserves to fail. It is failing because it spends all its time patting itself on the back. It is failing because its true mission, which neither it nor (still less) its supporters understand, is still as far beyond its reach as algebra is beyond a cat. Because the vengeance meted out after its failure will dwarf the vengeance after 2020—because the successes of the second revolution are so much greater than the first—I feel that I personally have to start thinking realistically about how to flee the country. Everyone else in a similar position should have a 2029 plan as well. And it is not even clear that it will wait until 2029: losing the Congress will instantly put the administration on the defensive.
Me:
So apparently not all is good in broligarchy land. Still it’s more likely he might be suffering some breakdown instead. Relatively poverty stricken people buy expensive convertibles when they have a midlife crises. People like him poop on the internet. Most likely he will be around, for sometime, causing grief



@istewart it doesn’t change the fact that virtually everyone in the current regime in the USA happily admits that he’s one of their chief intellectual northstars.
Just because someone is a crackpots or a dipshit doesn’t mean they can’t be intensely politically or philosophically influential - look at francis fukuyama or thomas friedman, both complete morons and yet responsible for a massive amount of human suffering via political action that aligns with their viewpoints.
