  • For those of you who haven’t yet, it’s a good idea to familiarize yourself with Curtis Yarvin’s “Dark Enlightenment Theory,” because that’s what’s informing all of these chuds.

    JD Vance has cited this guy. Peter Thiel is a huge fan. Based on his views, Musk is almost certainly reading this stuff.

    The “theory” basically boils down to that tenet: empathy is weakness, might makes right, and it’s only natural for the strong to dominate and brutalize the weak.

    Remember that kid in elementary school who refused to play with anyone at recess and just spent the whole time frying ants with a magnifying glass? That kid grew up and has an “intellectual following” now.





  • Or maybe do one of those oh-so-much-better things you mentioned while participating in this event that so, so many other people are participating in too?

    There aren’t going to be any medals, my dude. Nobody is going give you a plaque that congratulates you for trying harder at leftism then anyone else.

    If you want to organize something bigger, nobody’s stopping you, but nobody is impressed with the dick-waving.

    This is a deeply unpopular take but it’s the correct one. I caucusef for Bernie in both 2016 and 2020 and the amount of Hilary/Biden supporters to Bernie supporters in both respective years was dishearteningly high.

    The only people who show up for primaries and caucuses are predominantly white, Christian heterosexuals of retirement age.

    They’re absolutely fucking terrified of anything remotely approaching progressive policy and they’ll never, ever let us run anyone who doesn’t make them feel safe with all their old white money.
