"...Yarvin’s career has gone from supposedly subversive and innovative commentary against the Dubya-Obama uniparty, only to give way to the legitimacy of Coronadoom lockdowns and voting for Joe Biden...."
It took me longer than you to achieve Peak Yarvin, but that, right there, is when it started.
"Curtis Guy Yarvin was born in 1973 to a liberal, secular family. His grandparents on his father's side were Jewish American and communists. His father, Herbert Yarvin, worked for the US government as a diplomat, and his mother was a Protestant from Westchester County."
It's amusing that, coming from literal Communists who apparently infiltrated the State Department, he hinges his analysis on blaming Protestants from Westchester County.
I tried to read this, but it was an exercise in Conquest’s First Law. I am too familiar with these things for you to tell me anything useful. It was just annoying.
"In other words, the “Cathedral” of that time was constantly self-critical, and applied that criticism in open government of the state."
I don't understand the contrast with current Cathedral: in his blog (If I remember correctly), he says that current ideology is like a virus that mutates and attacks its previous versions. The self-criticism (which usually goes in the way of incrementing institutional power) is the way it spreads.
Excellent takedown. The “right” is completely bankrupt without a return to the Church
great piece and i just bought your book.

He'd do better as a pithy meme-monger.
Never listen to a Jew.
Is Yarvin Jewish? Haven’t seen any proof of that, even though the accusation is thrown around a bunch. I don’t think he’d hide it if he was.
Read his wikipedia page
I see, thank you. It doesn’t immediately disqualify everything he says, but it’s good to know.

Church? What Church? The Church of Pope Democrat, Robert Prevost? You are proving yourself to be a Chestertonian gentleman in a bow tie.
Are you proving
