The article discusses Curtis Yarvin's controversial ideas advocating for the dismantling of democracy in favor of dictatorship or monarchy. His theories, which have gained traction among tech moguls and far-right politicians, challenge mainstream democratic doctrines. The author reflects on Yarvin's rise and his influence, particularly highlighting how figures like Elon Musk may have adopted these views to shape social platforms and political narratives. The article serves as an awareness of the anti-democracy advocacy that is impacting political discourse today.
Yarvin claims that democracy has failed and that the only way forward is to get rid of it and replace it with a dictatorship, or a monarchy.
Some of these weirdo theories, like the tariff gibberish and Christian Nationalism, are well-known and discussed in progressive circles.
It looks like Elon Musk used Yarvin's ideas first to remake Twitter as a hang-out for creeps, and then as a template for destroying our government from the inside.
I'll be looking into Yarvin's writings in my next series, focusing on the anti-democracy advocates influencing contemporary politics.
