Neoreactionary Monarchist, Curtis Yarvin, makes the case not just for the re-election of Biden/Harris but to “put Joe Biden entirely in charge of the government.” Yarvin basically advocates for Joe Biden to become an absolute monarch. Yarvin has remained a lifelong Democrat, even though the media has smeared him as a right-wing fascist. However, he adds “Or Donald Trump. Or whoever else wins the election. With no checks and balances. That’s right.”

Yarvin argues that Biden would no longer care about liberal opinion and, thus would pivot to the Right. He also says that if granted absolute power, Trump would become more liberal, as he no longer has to pander to conservatives. Yarvin is probably right that wokeness and culture war issues would be resolved if Democracy were abolished. Yarvin is also right that Democrats are more competent at enacting their agenda than Republicans and that conservatives are losers with little to no elite attributes.

Yarvin predicts that Biden, as an absolute monarch, would end state political repression as “Once any power triumphs completely, it no longer has any enemies,” and thus will make peace with former adversaries. While Yarvin gives the example of America’s relative benevolence towards the defeated Germans and Japanese, after WWII, he glosses over the Soviet’s brutal revenge against Germany, the Communist Revolution, and countless other historical examples of new totalitarian regimes that brutally purged their former adversaries. If granted absolute power, Biden would almost certainly persecute his opponents.

There is a case that a benevolent monarch or dictator, with noblesse oblige towards the people, is preferable to a democratically elected leader. However, this scenario is conditional upon the right person being in power rather than the default of power. Yarvin makes a valid point that FDR was able to accomplish a lot by limiting democracy. However, it was the threat of fascism and communism rising domestically that pressured FRD to make concessions to the people. In contrast, America’s existing ruling class does not feel any pressure to make any concessions.

Yarvin also assumes that a hypothetical King Biden would not have the Deep State dictating his terms, which is nonsense, as dictators and monarchs still rely upon the loyalty of an apparatus. Many Royal Courts became bureaucratic, such as the late-stage French aristocracy before the Revolution.

Despite the Uni-Party, gridlock and political polarization in US politics can be good, as far as preventing bad policies from being enacted. In contrast, Canada and the UK, which have much stronger technocratic establishment centers, are worse as far as open borders, austerity, and the suppression of dissent. Yarvin also makes a good point that the regime needs to be honest with its subjects. Mass democracy does not allow for that but rather gaslights people that they matter politically when they don’t matter.

Yarvin’s proposal to make Biden king is similar to his fantasy of granting tech CEOs and corporations total power over society. Corporations are responsible for many of society’s problems, including income inequality, mass immigration, cultural degradation, environmental degradation, and the erosion of privacy. Not to mention that innovation is stagnating with tech companies primarily focused on apps or Apple just putting out new versions of the iPhone that aren’t dramatically better. Even AI will likely be used to replace jobs, make people more atomized and mentally ill, and increase the surveillance state rather than greatly improving people’s lives.

Yarvin also pushes the narrative that corporations are superior to the Government because they are more efficient, which has a partial degree of truth. However, corporations and government are more like each other than either conservatives or progressives would like to admit. Government bureaucracies can be ruthlessly efficient when they have a clear power objective and corporations increasingly function like bureaucracies, with massive HR departments and a lot of paper-pushing middlemen positions.

Yarvin has ties to Silicon Valley elites like Peter Thiel, so it makes sense that he would embrace this position. While I am much more idealistic about how society should ideally be, I get the ruthless pragmaticism of working with those who currently have wealth and power, and to align with and try to influence the least bad factions of the elite. This applies to Elon Musk, who has major flaws and has made some terrible decisions. For instance, he amplifies the most obnoxious rightwing grifters on Twitter/X and his new Cyber Truck looks like a Garbage Dumpster. However, Musk is at least open-minded to anti-establishment ideas and often f-cks with other factions of the elite.

Recently, Silicon Valley entrepreneur and investor, Balaji Srinivasan, who is sympathetic to Yarvin’s ideas and the Dark Enlightenment ideology, got a lot of flack for his proposal to radically transform San Francisco. In a podcast interview on how the Tech Tribe can save cities, Balaji called for something like tech Zionism, where San Francisco becomes a tech corporation-governed city, as if that isn’t already the case. Balaji calls for “the greys, ” citizens loyal to tech companies, to take over San Francisco by allying with the Police. Balaji is right about the failure of San Francisco’s leftwing political leadership, but glosses over that San Francisco really started going downhill in the 2010s, coinciding with the takeover by the “Tech Tribe.”

Both Balaji and Yarvin seem to envision the Bay Area as a Singapore-like autocratic City State that is culturally cosmopolitan rather than conservative. Balaji’s proposal also fits in with Charter Cities, which are popular with the techno libertarian crowd. I am not necessarily opposed to charter cities, I just don’t want major corporations running them and would rather have them run like guilds.

I am sympathetic to N orman Mailer’s proposal from when he ran for New York mayor, where each neighborhood becomes semi-autonomous with control over housing policy, the schools, and the police. I have been promoting enclavism or ethnopluralism for the Bay Area and California, but it obviously can’t be viewed as a reactionary movement like MAGA. To be implemented, it would have to appeal to or co-opt White limousine liberals, as well as immigrants and minorities who already practice enclavism. I agree with Yarvin that it is important to be where the elites are and it is defeatist to talk about running off to Idaho.

Elites must demonstrate that they can uplift civilization to have legitimacy. The elites suck but the masses don’t have what it takes to rule society either. There are countless brilliant creative people with the best ideas, who can’t get access to capital or elite institutions. Capitalism is terrible at selecting for elites and a monarchy of the merchant or managerial class with the power of aristocracy without aristocratic traits, would be the worst system imaginable. I favor something in line with Plato’s proportional inequality, where power is shared between warriors, merchants, artists, spiritualists, and workers’ guilds, to prevent one caste from totally dominating society.

Yarvin points out “Aristotle’s basic principle that no form of government suits all peoples in all times.” Mass Democracies and especially multi-ethnic democracies tend to revert to autocracy, as no constituency can get their needs met democratically. However, the solution is not to abolish democracy but rather to have democracy serve constituencies on a smaller scale or to be radically decentralized. For instance, a confederation of city-states or semi-autonomous zones.

A counterpoint to neoreaction is that America’s political system has become much worse as it has become less democratic and more of an oligopoly. America’s golden age from the 1950s to 1980s, when the middle class was at its peak, was much more democratic. Not to mention that California is much worse off under one-party rule.

Yarvin is critical of anti-CRT activist Chris Ruffo, on the grounds that as an activist Ruffo just protests without addressing power dialects. However, both Yarvin and Ruffo offer critiques of politics and society, but come short at offering any solutions nor have a coherent program to reform society. While I am inclined to say that Yarvin is brilliant at describing the mechanisms of power, there are major intellectual flaws with his thesis. He seems to worship power for the sake of power rather than valuing the caliber of those with power. Like Richard Spencer, as a Nietzschean, he respects power, and thus bows to the current neoliberal elite.

  1. Robert Stark pretends to be a counterpoint to Yarvin, but his real intention seems to be to muddy the waters. All of this started during the six day war, when jews discovered their culture destroying propaganda had worked too well, and the goyim weren’t to keen on dying in the desert on account of some jewish fairy tale. So a cabal of trotskyist jews rebranded into neoconservatism, which is just Ayn Rand cosmopolitanism plus a healthy scoop of racism for the enemies of world jewry.

    This is the milieu creatures like Yarvin come from. Now Yarvin would like to manage the liquidation of the US empire in such a way as to preserve jewish parasitism over as many goyim as possible. Fuck moldbug.

    YES.

    We can trust the plan to make Trump the new American King.

    Fucking idiots.

  4. Moldbug seems to be channeling John Kennedy Toole in his latest argument. Guess it’s in the air because even Vox Day is quoted A Confederacy of Dunces today for very distantly related reasons (bad literature as a harbinger of societal collapse). Here’s the section quoted by Day, which serves equally well as a description of the Biden regime, the Sunak regime, the Scholz regime, the Macron regime, the Zelensky regime or any one of the “liberal democracies” which make up the Empire of Lies (aka Clown-World):

    As I was wearing the soles of my desert boots down to a mere sliver of crepe rubber on the old flagstone banquettes of the French Quarter in my fevered attempt to wrest a living from an unthinking and uncaring society, I was hailed by a cherished old acquaintance (deviate). After a few minutes of conversation in which I established most easily my moral superiority over this degenerate, I found myself pondering once more the crises of our times. My mentality, uncontrollable and wanton as always, whispered to me a scheme so magnificent and daring that I shrank from the very thought of what I was hearing.

    “Stop!” I cried imploringly to my god-like mind. “This is madness.” But still I listened to the counsel of my brain. It was offering me the opportunity to Save the World Through Degeneracy.

    There on the worn stones of the Quarter I enlisted the aid of this wilted flower of a human in gathering his associates in foppery together behind a banner of brotherhood. Our first step will be to elect one of their number to some very high office—the presidency, if Fortuna spins us kindly. .Then they will infiltrate the military. As soldiers, they will all be so continually busy in fraternizing with one another, tailoring their uniforms to fit like sausage skins, inventing new and varied battle dress, giving cocktail parties, etc., that they will never have time for battle. The one whom we finally make Chief of Staff will want only to attend to his fashionable wardrobe, a wardrobe which, alternately, will permit him to be either Chief of Staff or debutante, as the desire strikes him. In seeing the success of their unified fellows here, perverts around the world will also band together to capture the military in their respective countries. In those reactionary countries in which the deviates seem to be having some trouble in gaining control, we will send aid to them as rebels to help them in toppling their governments.

    When we have at last overthrown all existing governments, the world will enjoy not war but global orgies conducted with the utmost protocol and the most truly international spirit, for these people do transcend simple national differences. Their minds are on one goal; they are truly united; they think as one. None of the pederasts in power, of course, will be practical enough to know about such devices as bombs; these nuclear weapons would lie rotting in their vaults somewhere. From time to time the Chief of Staff, the President, and so on, dressed in sequins and feathers, will entertain the leaders, i.e., the perverts, of all the other countries at balls and parties. Quarrels of any sort could easily be straightened out in the men’s room of the redecorated United Nations. Ballets and Broadway musicals and entertainments of that sort will flourish everywhere and will probably make the common folk happier than did the grim, hostile, fascistic pronouncements of their former leaders.

    Almost everyone else has had an opportunity to run the world. I cannot see why these people should not be given their chance. They have certainly been the underdog long enough. Their movement into power will be, in a sense, only a part of the global movement toward opportunity, justice, and equality for all. (For example, can you name one good, practicing transvestite in the Senate? No! These people have been without representation long enough. Their plight is a national, a global disgrace.)

    Degeneracy, rather than signaling the downfall of a society, as it once did, will now signal peace for a troubled world. We must have new solutions to new problems. I shall act as a sort of mentor and guide for the movement, my not inconsiderable knowledge of world history, economics, religion, and political strategy acting as a reservoir, as it were, from which these people can draw rules of operational procedure.

    Yarvin’s take is a very strange one in which the degenerate monarchy (whether headed by Cheetohead or Shitpants) would magically morph into something benevolent and thus keep the clown-show running with kindler and gentler characteristics. Such a position is contrary to the entire historical record. He also seems to have lost sight of the essential nature of the clowns being offered for the quadrennial deck-chair feng-shui ceremonies and festivities: The numerous strings attached by the ruling cryptocracy to both. Yarvin’s scenario about as likely as a giant swine flying to the moon (or as ‘world peace through degeneracy’). After all as the line from Death Cab for Cutie reminds: Someone’s gonna make you pay your fare.

    One must admit that Old Vladimir Ilyich had a point which is obliquely raised in Yarvin’s notion of a Biden monarchy (even better than Chuck the Turd’s for the purpose): Worse is better. The only question about the present deck-chair feng-shui choice before us here in Murika’s latest edition of the most impotent erection evaaah is: Which clown is worse? Joey Shitpants or God-Emperor Cheetohead I? Who will bring about imperial collapse faster and most completely?

  9. Who the hell is Curtis Yarvin? Search time.

    One of the weirder things to come out of this war is the way much of the edgy, radical, iconoclastic, leather jacket-wearing right wing suddenly started sounding like they’d just received a big pile of money from the Atlantic Council. So Curtis Yarvin, dark prince of the dark right, insists that ‘it is clear to any sane person that if Israel could install a technical device on its bombs that would prevent them from killing civilians, it instantly would.’ Yarvin is, as he keeps reminding us, a Foreign Service brat. Does he really expect us to believe that he’s never heard of the Dahiya Doctrine? But his problem is that what’s happening in Gaza indicts his entire ideology. Yarvin is a monarchist: he thinks society should be led by a singular, absolutely powerful sovereign who has total authority over his subjects without any kind of democratic accountability. He has deduced from first principles that getting rid of our current form of government and replacing it with this one will immediately solve all our problems and produce a maximally benevolent and generous regime—because if power is totally unassailable, what possible reason would it have not be maximally benevolent? In other words, Yarvin is a utopian.

    Guess I know now.

    BTW, I don’t recommend the link. In my opinion neither the author nor Mr. Yarvin are nice people. But here it is for those who like to punish themselves.

    This is the opposite of what actually happened. Soviets were benevolent to Germans (despite suffering far worse losses against them than the west did), while the USA put Germans in death camps, destroyed German culture, and forced them to take in millions of Turks. East Germany was a jewel of the eastern bloc. West Germany was a whipped Americanized hellhole of homos and pederasts under the boot of mongrel American troops.

    It’s interesting to see the Jewish Curtis Yarvin advocate for monarchy. I wonder why. It is because America has become an unruly multi-ethnic empire for which democracy no longer remains a good fit? Is it democracy only really works with homogeneous populations? (As Aristotle observed.)

    Jews opened the gates to America and the West, as they’d previously done to Toledo, and now they’ve completely screwed over their host such that its democratic government must be dissolved and replaced with something more authoritarian. Oopsie!

    I have a better idea. Let’s repatriate the recent (post-1965) immigrants, and their descendants. Let’s also strip the Jews of their citizenship, which they clearly don’t deserve because their true loyalty and citizenship obviously belongs with their fellow fifth columnist tribe – their state within a state – as it always has.

    I probably wouldn’t deport the Jews though – that’s far too light a sentence. Furthermore, they might become dangerous if deported. They could do harm to their new host or, even more disconcertingly, to the host which just ejected them (us). After all, there’s precedence for this. All those German Jewish scientists and political philosophers who escaped right before WWII immediately set upon bringing their new host – America – into war against the host which kicked them out. They also took all the knowledge which they’d acquired in German universities (cutting edge research, such as the splitting of the atom by Otto Hahn) – which they’d learned in the universities into which they’d graciously and generously been given the opportunity to work and study – and they set about building doomsday weapons to drop on their former host.

    I don’t see why it would be wise to allow Jews to take everything they’ve learned in the publicly funded American research institutions (into which they’ve crowded themselves to the exclusion of the native white Christian majority) to China or Israel in order to equip their new host to wage and win WWIII against America.

    That’s not a mistake that it would be wise to make twice. Better to quarantine them in a secure facility surrounded by a Faraday cage (i.e., a SCIF).

    Some history about Jews and monarchy:

    In part 3 of 3 Thomas Dalton’s essay ETERNAL STRANGERS: ANTI-JEWISH MUSINGS THROUGHOUT HISTORY he writes:

    In early 1848, following the Paris rebellion, Germans in Prussia and several other states revolted. A hybrid form of a constitutional monarchy was established, but it collapsed a year later and the Confederation was restored.

    Throughout this time of turmoil, Jews worked to increase their power and influence. They reasserted their signature political strategy: playing two sides against the other, and claiming victory regardless of the outcome. Thus it was that Bauer published a striking essay, in English, in the New York Daily Tribune, titled “The Present Position of the Jews.”17 He begins the piece by acknowledging this very strategy: “It is a remarkable coincidence, that not only the democracy, but also the reaction, has its Jews”—that is, both the democratic revolution and the monarchical reaction had its Jewish advocates. In the revolutionary year of 1848, “there was no popular assembly in Berlin or Vienna in which one or two Jews were not the principal haranguers; there was no democratic committee in which Jews did not conduct the counsels or draft the resolutions.” Clearly they hoped to gain power and civil rights through a democratic revolution, as they had with Disraeli in England. But having failed in Germany, the Jews quickly switched allegiance to the old monarchies, and in the chaos of the day, consolidated their influence. Only a few years prior, Bauer writes, the German governments actively sought to separate and ghettoize the Jews; “and now the Jews sit in the cabinets of monarchs, Jews are invited by Kings to lay before them the results of their reflection and of their philosophical inquiries.”

    *

    Today Jews divide Christians against Muslims, whites against blacks, left against right and Republican against Democrat and they’re always certain to ensure that they lead both sides. They even lead the anti-Zionists against Zionism. They create the revolution and then make certain to lead the counter-revolution – if only to sabotage it.

    The “left-wing” anti-Zionist Jews will tolerate that you attack “Zionism” and the “right-wing” pro-Zionist Jews will tolerate that you attack “communists” but neither will ever tolerate that you call out the puppeteers pulling the strings of both sides – the Jews themselves.

    Gentiles must stop letting Jews divide them in this fashion. Gentiles must exclude Jews from their movements – certainly the leadership and sensitive elements thereof – and they must go directly after the puppeteers – the Jews – themselves.

    That has to be the answer. Simply work out who has the power and what are their motivations.

    For example, the last 50 years have been a real time experiment of Western free market neoliberalism (corporate/financial rule) vs. Asian free market nationalist rule (single party quasi-monarchy).

    The outcome has been overwhelmingly in favour of the Asian (Chinese) system.

    Lifting 800 Million People Out of Poverty – New Report Looks at Lessons from China’s Experience

    BEIJING, April 1, 2022— Over the past 40 years, the number of people in China with incomes below $1.90 per day – the International Poverty Line as defined by the World Bank to track global extreme poverty– has fallen by close to 800 million. With this, China has contributed close to three-quarters of the global reduction in the number of people living in extreme poverty. At China’s current national poverty line, the number of poor fell by 770 million over the same period.

    The difference is that in China the ethnic Chinese nationalist elite have a long term hold on power and use it to impose rules and limits on the corporate/financial sector in line with national development aims.

  19. This is exactly what Yarvin wrote on his blog:

    Once any power triumphs completely, it no longer has any enemies—just as the Allies no longer had any enemies in Japan or Germany in 1946. It was not necessary to abuse the Germans or the Japanese—once defeated, they were no longer enemies. They were our loyal friends and could be allowed to recover and even prosper.

    I was going to type up a refutation of his statement here, but then I skimmed the rest of the article, and it seemed like a WWE version of a political blog. So, I don’t know if it’s actually serious, or if his entire thing is just being retarded and “entertaining”.

  20. Loup-Bouc says:

    Robert Starks’s premises include the proposition that Biden takes positions contrary to his true perspectives because of “democracy” — voters’ and the general public’s opinions and demands. That premise implies the premise that Biden takes positions he disdains, or does not take positions his perspectives indicate, because he fears clashing with strong public opinion. Those premises conflict with at least one highly significant current political situation.

    Biden opposes — strongly, openly — the swell of anti-Israel protest triggered by Israel’s genocidal siege of Gaza. Even does Biden urge patently unconstitutional suppressive government action that would seek to quell that protest. Yet Biden’s own Party’s majority and the adult American public’s majority oppose Israel increasingly and very vocally.

    Biden’s opposing that protest and his Party’s and the American majority’s opinion may (some way will) result in Biden’s losing the 2024 election. Yet Biden seems not to care.

    Is Biden bucking public opinion because he is stupid — not merely suffering memory-deficiency? Or do certain forces — not just Zionist or “Jewish,” but also, e.g., Globalist or hegemonic military/industrial forces — wield power that renders ludicrous the proposition that shifting from democracy to autocracy would alter Biden’s politics, policies, or conduct?

    During the early days of Covid, Australia was making idiotic decisions. New Zealand’s government was still extremely sane. A small movement arose in Australia whose platform was: New Zealand, tell us what to do, and we will do it. I believe the time has come for The U.S. to employ the above model. The only question is who tells America what to do. Switzerland? Japan? Norway? Someone like that. But my point is that the oligarch cannot be any person or institution within the U.S. itself. This would be like the above movement that argued that neither Australia, nor the factions therein, was competent to handle deciisions; like the appointing of a conservator to handle the affairs of a cognitively and emotionally incapacitated family member.

  22. … he glosses over the Soviet’s brutal revenge against Germany….

    You mean the part where they actually implemented the American’s Morgenthau Plan in their zone of occupation? Given what the Germans did to the Soviet peoples, the Soviet revenge was pretty tame, especially compared to French revanchism after WW1 & 2 (can you say “occupation and looting of the Saar” and “ethnic cleansing of Elsaß & Lothringen?).

    This comment, which was written by someone wearing an IDF uniform, is such classic hasbara that it cries out to be analyzed for the uninitiated.

    Basically, it depends on you, the reader, being ignorant of basic facts. For example, the correct name of the author: Toole.

    Then, Col. Wataboutski of the IDF Hasbara Brigade assumes you think that the 22 or so publishers who turned down the book were hide-bound and run by elderly New England WASP’s who hated the working class and the Irish. By contrast, Toole’s mother and Walker Percy (who must have been Yids) persuaded Louisiana State University (a well-known Jewish institution, “the Frankfurt School of the South”) to publish his dreck, which then was awarded the Jewish-run Pulitzer Prize.

    See how that works? Since you, the reader, think the book is a masterpiece, he leads you to tacitly acknowledge that 1. It’s good that Jews took over publishing, since only they recognize true genius, and 2. If they already ran the Pulitzer, that too is good, for reason 1.

    https://thecradle.co/articles/bushnells-men-hack-30000-western-printers-in-protest-of-gaza-genocide

    A hacker group dedicated to the memory of Aaron Bushnell, who burned himself to death in February in protest of Israel’s genocide in Gaza, has hacked into printers worldwide, causing them to print flyers promoting Bushnell’s message.

    The hacker group, Bushnell’s Men, posted a message on its Telegram page on 14 March stating, “Due to the press boycott of the genocide in Gaza by countries profiting from the war, ‘The Bushnell’s Men’ as a hacker group is committed to exposing the reality via printing this paper through over 30,000 printers across the world.”

    The message stated further, “We ask all truth-seekers to join the #Bushnellmen campaign in this regard. Our ultimate goal is to convey Aaron’s message to stop the genocide. Aaron put an end to his life on behalf of the other American soldiers who are forced to kill the innocent people in Gaza. Aaron didn’t die in vain. He has already inspired so many to stand up for truth and justice.”

    Judging by his appearance, Yarvin expects to be taken for a clown. His proposing a monarchy is probably meant as a Jewish, Satanic inversion of Christian monarchy as the ordering structure of society. If so, Christian love of virtue is replaced with a love for inclusiveness, especially the sort of degeneracy exemplified by Joe Biden’s forcing his daughter to take showers with him. Community under a Christian monarch probably becomes transhuman conformity designed by Yuval Harari.

    Yarvin says either Biden or Trump will do as a monarch when Biden has a passionate hatred for America while Trump has a passionate love for his country (however flawed many believe his views are). Yarvin’s idea of a monarchy would probably look more like tikkun olam or an appointee of the WEF in a world where there are no wars because there are no people, religions, or institutions to oppose the totalitarian conformity posing as community.

    Luongo said Hamas — a “horrible, terrible terrorist group” — needs to be “totally annihilated,” so totally crushed, like the Chechens. Then in ten or so years a new Palestine will grow, just like the Chechens, and they (Palestinians) will be as loyal to Israelis as the Chechen general demonstrated loyalty to Putin.”

  54. No American should ever waste one second of his life thinking about Curtis Yarvin or anyone else of his ilk. (Neoconservatives or Neoreactionaries or whatever they call themselves).

    If America decided to replace the currently existing constitution with a monarchy, we would need a royal family with an ancient lineage and organic ties to the American people.

    George III and his heirs forever forfeited their claims for reasons explained in the Declaration of Independence. James II and his heirs likewise forfeited their claims.

    Which other royal families have a history of exercising benevolent authority in America?

    The House of Orange in New Netherlands and the House of Vasa in New Sweden.

    The House of Vasa is extinct, and anyhow New Sweden played a peripheral role in American history.

    The House of Orange, on the other hand, has deep and real ties to the American people. William the Silent and his heirs were universally regarded as heroes for centuries by the American people and their European Protestant ancestors. New Netherlands played a vital role in the ethno-genesis of the American people, and the Netherlands was our ally in the crucially important wars of 1625-1629, 1689-1697, 1701-1714, and 1744-1748.

    The Hohenzollerns are arguably the legitimate heirs of the House of Orange, and they are the only Protestant royal house which retains any virility. The Hohenzollerns were exercising real authority as recently as 1918. An heir of that house, the ancestor of the current Hohenzollern claimant, died a hero’s death in 1940.

    Prussia was our ally in the wars of 1689-1697, 1701-1714, and also the war of 1755-1763 (the most important war in American history).

    The only European prince who was ever seriously considered for king of America was Frederick the Great’s younger brother Henry.

The only power present is the power their own warped minds have over their own selves which is bringing down not just themselves but everyone else around them. Criminals desire no checks and balances so they can steal and destroy with abandon. They are incapable of restraining themselves and thus must be restrained. The solution is sane, rational, humanitarian leaders who are willing and able to follow sane and rational laws and policies. Aren’t we all tired of criminals hi-jacking the positions that should be occupied by leaders?

    Joe Biden – whose brain was eaten by Corn-Pop many decades ago – has no real opinion about anything apart from perhaps which style of Depends® feels better today.

    The whole Biden show is the cryptocracy’s wiping their Orwell-boots in the faces of those with IQ’s above room temperature, something which Diabolical narcissists always revel in. The “opposing” Cheetohead marionette is merely a “conservative” foil to the Joey Shitpants model stumbling about at present. The cryptocracy (aka Learned Elders of Wye) originally wanted to move their imperial HQ to China (hence the mass transfer of manufacturing starting in the 1980s) but Chairman Xi nixed that plan so they started WW III instead.

    Vox Day, who is considerably more thoughtful than Yarvin/Moldbug, has today posted a theory about what is coming down the road. If a king arises in Murika as a result the scenario offered, he may well resemble an Austrian painter in at least one important respect. As in the early 1930s, the elders have deemed that sacrifices must be made of their non-elite tribals in addition to the usual millions of cattle (goyim), whether to prod them into making aliyah so the operational HQ can be set up in Jerusalem (or Kiev); or to usher in the Mosiach (depending on whether the faction of Elders is secular or esoteric).

    You think this system of endless propaganda managed through 2 ‘political parties’ only began with obviously increased Jewish power because of the 6 Days War? You are then way off. The entire WASP political system, designed in steps over more than a half century after the total failure of the Puritan revolutionary system, is a giant fake. It was designed to keep the average Joe both thinking that he has a say and that he and his family and his local community matter to the WASP imperialists and also believing with deep religious fervor that the system which had been crated allegedly to save him and his land from the despotism of Catholicism would always act to sue him and his land form any tyranny.

    Modern journalism is an English creation, and it was done before even London was close to 1% Jewish. No Jews were involved, and English journalism always has been a key part of the Brit WASP Deep State propaganda apparatus.

    Yarvin is up to what you assert, but he is doing so not just for Jews but also for the actual ethnic and religious WASPs with the major power over the Anglo-Zionist Empire. The scramble is beginning for those people to figure out how to keep there empire of tyranny and endless lying propaganda together after the shit of recent major screw ups has hit the fans. No longer can average Anglophones, even church going Protestants, assume that Anglo Empire is even halfway good for them. Nor can they assume it should be accepted sinoply because it is far too powerful to to fall.

    What we have is not a Jewish Empire but an Anglo-Zionist Empire. That is so because Anglo-Saxon Puritanism, the source from which sprang Wealthy Anglo-Saxon Protestant culture, was a Judaizing heresy. When this Anglo-Zionist Empire topples over, actual WASP culture will die in fairly shirt order. Judaism will not die out, even if all Jews now in Israel get killed. That isn because when Jews chose to be anti-Christ, Satan became, in effect, the patron Demon Rabbinic Judaism and all its fruits. Satan has no such ties to WASPs.

    What all that means is that all whites better already have begun embracing another culture before this WASP-Zionist Empire stars heading toward collapse. And there are only two choices that can be worth pursuing: Traditional Latin Mass Catholicism (which means that vernacular spoken is irrelevant) or Eastern Orthodoxy (which still ties you to a specific vernacular and its cultural history).

    Nothing coming from any stage of WASP culture can be of meaningful help. Nor can anything from any other Western European culture after it had undergone a major revolution to destroy Christendom in its lands.

    To put it starkly, if the US regime “succeeds” in provoking a war with Russia or China, the people stuck in the USA will suffer from the resultant accelerated destruction of the US economy and standard of living. Of course, the US mainland could be struck by missiles as well. Even absent missile strikes, China and/or Russia could readily disable US satellites and cripple communication and business through the USA with directed electro-magnetic pulses and other measures.

    Your children can be in the USA waiting to be victims of all of this.

It’s not genocide, according to Luongo, but rather Hamas needs to be eradicated so thoroughly, that the Palestinians will never resist the Zionists again. And in ten years, the Palestinians will be the most loyal allies of the Israeli state.

    Breaking the will of a people, so that they never again stand up for themselves sure sounds like genocide. It just kills the spirit instead of the body.

    Yarvin, similarly, has produced interesting material in the past, but this article is lacking in merit. Not too long ago, he was calling for Trump, if elected president, to challenge the Legislative branch for supremacy. Yarvin said that Trump needs to go full-dictator, because the Constitution avoids establishing primacy between the three branches of government. He said Trump needs a VP who is totally ruthless, and could implement Trump’s agenda behind the scenes, while Trump himself limits his activity to public appearances.

    The rejection of classical styles in architecture reflects the Jews’ (ie, the architectural establishment’s) rejection of Logos and its expression in the physical logic of the world. Earlier architecture was constrained by the materials of the day and expresses the pleasing experience of seeing the physical forces of nature in balance, while modernist architecture intentionally uses modern materials to defy our instinctive comprehension of underlying structural forces and causes distress.

    The irony is the architectural establishment’s attempt to justify and praise modernist crap that weathers like cardboard with their nonsense about fractals and, wait for it, quantum mechanics and field theory. In the same way these freaks distort the metaphysical realm of the good, beautiful, and true, they distort our world’s physical reality and reject the natural scaling proportions that people without regard to culture find so pleasin.

    The architectural establishment loves trashing architectural embellishments like moldings as if they were superfluous, when the reality is that the lack of moldings makes buildings age terribly and cost far more than necessary. Walker’s Theory of Moldings makes it clear that moldings are critical, not superfluous, components of a well built building. They also love the dank house designs that Frank Lloyd Wright stole from Japanese temple architecture, and one such dump—the Holly Hock House, or something like that— has cost over $20 million just to maintain since it was built.

  81. I remember being blown away when I first read Mencius Moldbug’s Unqualified Reservations — Curtis Yarvin is indeed brilliant, as Robert Stark points in this article. But that’s what Jews do best, isn’t it? Jew Word Wizardry. It bedazzles with all its sparks and multiple syllables and unending references. But all of it is mere distraction — and, in the final analysis, poison. I was poisoned by Yarvin’s Jew venom for some time but luckily I took the best antidote there is: Kevin MacDonald’s Culture of Critique. Once you become Jew aware you see Yarvin for what he is: just another Jew gatekeeper, supposedly on the “reactionary” end of the spectrum, but a Jew gatekeeper, nevertheless.

    What are the gatekeepers’ main goal, whether they be Jews or shabbos goys? Well, to make you take your eye off the Jew behind the curtain. They use all sorts of psychological misdirection tools to manipulate the gaze of the goy sheeple towards anything but the Jew. There are countless examples of people like this, such as Jordan Peterson or, here in Brazil, Olavo de Carvalho (who led astray a whole generation of future intellectuals by sending them off into wild goose chases instead of Naming the Jew).

    Yarvin’s central concept of “The Cathedral” is a case the case in point: if he had called it “The Synagogue” he might have come closer to the truth, especially if he added “of Satan” at the end of it. Instead, he toys with his readers, as he did in his article “A gentle introduction to Unqualified Reservations”:

    So: who educates the public?
    Our answer is simple: the Jews. (Sorry, Jewhaters. Just kidding.)

    And Yarvin leaves it at that. No, dear Unzians, don’t bother with Yarvin — nor with Stark, for that matter. Here is a stark dog-whistle in the above article: “it is defeatist to talk about running off to Idaho”. Funny, isn’t that where Kmac lives right now? Are you shitting on the Pope of the Jewish Question, stark? Get thee to a nunnery, stark knave, and sell your deceptive Jew wares there!

    Those who are deeply suspicious of authors who simply won’t or can’t “go there” (as Jordan Peterson once said) — meaning the JQ — should just ignore the likes of Stark and Yarvin and instead continue reading the work of Andrew Joyce-Marshall Yeats, worthy companion(s) to Kmac himself. Here is a brief Joyce quote from his article “Jews in the Cathedral: A Response to Curtis Yarvin”, which Unz readers will appreciate much more than this stark deception:

    All of this, to use Yarvin’s metaphor, is a canonical example of glove waving. Who is really engaged in distraction here? … In Moldbug’s world, we live our lives under a “Cathedral” of interests dominated by the ideals of “super-Protestantism.” In Moldbug’s world, anti-Semitism is cant, and our best future lies in the kind of materialistic techno-oligarchy offered by Peter Thiel, the personification of the Republican Party’s surreal combination of stale mercantilism and liberal views on social issues.

    I’m glad I don’t live in Moldbug’s world. In my view, if I walk into a Cathedral and find it full of Jews, the chances are that I’ve walked into a synagogue by mistake.

    It’s a mistake to think that “campaign contributions” are the really decisive factor in decision-making. Sure, they are used for influence peddling. You’d have to be crazy to think the John McCains of the world were trying to clean things up by preventing campaign contributions (mostly from right-leaning sources, since they’re the ones generally prosecuted – it would be antisemitism to prosecute left-leaning “donors.”) If anything, McCain Feingold was intended to limit the ability of Republicans to run for office unless they 100% followed the party line. Campaign contributions represent a way for smaller players to at least be heard.

    The truth is that there is basically a mafia involved in bribery, blackmail, and extortion that controls the US government. Look at this Boeing situation, if they rubbed out a whistle-blower so easily, it’s because they’re in the business of using dire threats to get their way. (like the Clintons) Look who is honored in the House of the Temple of the 33′ in DC. Senators like Sam Nunn and the former leader of the FBC J. Edgar Hoover. Some of the agents of this “mafia” are in the government, but they’re basically taking their orders from some sort of ultra-secret directorate that is funded by the super-rich and the banks.

    People would scoff at these sorts of comments in the past, but today they don’t bother. They just sit stony-faced. They are willing to cooperate, willing to line up for things like the vaccine. The covid hysteria must have been proof for a lot of people who might have doubted or second-guessed themselves that we have a secret, conspiratorial government.

  85. A counterpoint to neoreaction is that America’s political system has become much worse as it has become less democratic and more of an oligopoly. America’s golden age from the 1950s to 1980s, when the middle class was at its peak, was much more democratic. Not to mention that California is much worse off under one-party rule.

    I say:

    California is importing junkies, illegal alien invaders, non-White immigrant infiltrators and all sorts of other creatures. But California can be legally and militarily reclaimed by the European Christian ancestral core of the United States. No more talk of giving up on California; the coasts and huge land mass are too important.

    Drug addicts are coddled by profiteers who clam rake money out of various treatment scams and the like. This must stop; drug addiction must no longer be a business. Oil is an honest business compared with drug sales and drug addiction, and the oil business is shady as all hell.

    California must be reclaimed by White Core American Patriots. If a strategy to increase the social disintegration must be used to accelerate the destruction of the ruling class of California, then so be it. Any and all methods must be used to regain political control of California.

    Identify with extreme precision the cities, counties and regions of California that are giving unlawful harbor to illegal alien invaders, then flood those spots with more illegal alien invaders from around the nation. Those parts of California should be made into huge staging areas for the removal of all illegal aliens. The current ruling class of California, mostly Democrats, will have to be put in prison for lengthy periods of time. 20 years in prison for harboring illegal alien invaders and aiding and abetting the illegal alien invader invasion of the USA ought to do it.

    White Core American Patriots can make a fortune by reclaiming all the land in California. Remember, many of the Normans who came over with William the Conqueror were of modest means. William the Conqueror rewarded his people handsomely for their efforts in conquering England.

    California is the prize; White Core American Patriots will win California.

    Big Picture: White Core American Patriots legally, militarily and politically conquering California

    I spoke to both Jebby Bush and Teddy Cruz at presidential primary town hall events in 2015 about the connection between mass immigration and the Republican Party being wiped out in California. Both Jebby Bush and Teddy Cruz avoided the topic of California being lost to the Republican Party because of mass immigration.

    I said this about mass immigration and California to Teddy Cruz in 2015:

    “And as for immigration, It’s quite simply true that if it wasn’t for mass immigration — the 1965 Immigration Act — the Republicans might not have lost California forever. And it’s also true that without mass immigration we might never have had Obama — and that means we might never have had Obamacare.

    Mass legal immigration is the issue that’s demographically destroying the United States. But you, you support dramatic increases in mass immigration.

    I don’t think you can continue on trying to confuse the American people about the difference between illegal immigration and mass legal immigration — so why do you support mass legal immigration?”

    If I were a Soviet leader, I would have been inclined to take all of Germany’s territory after they murdered over twenty million of my men, women, and children on our own territory, most of them civilians in their homes and schools.

    This is BS Soviet propaganda. The Russian Famine of 1921-22, exacerbated by war Communism, killed 5 million, maybe 10 million people. The Soviet Famine of 1930-33 killed 5.7 to 8.7 million people, maybe over 10 million. very largely in Ukraine and Kazakhstan. In Ukraine it is called the Holodomor and in Kazakhstan the Asharshylyk. 38 to 42% of all Kazakhs died and they became a minority in their own country. The cause of nearly all the deaths were the result of forced collectivisation, Bolshevik stealing of peasant food supplies and killing peasants and sending them to the GULAG. The operations were controlled by Jewish Bolsheviks and about 40% of the NKVD and other operatives involved were also Jewish.
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kazakh_famine_of_1930%E2%80%931933

    In other words, the Bolsheviks didn’t give a shit about what happened to their own people, especially if they were peasants or kulaks. So many less reactionary kulaks to liquidate.

    The 27 million Soviets killed by the Germans in WWII was precisely that – a Soviet concoction. Like the fictitious 6 million Jews gassed to death, including 1.4 million at Auschwitz. The Soviet figure was likely very much lower than that. Many died of disease and hunger, no doubt directly or indirectly caused by the continued collectivisation programme. Of course, many of those counted in Soviet figures were those who died in the GULAG, after being sent there by the Soviets. We don’t know the true figure. But 1 to 2 million men were executed by the KGB as being too unreliable to serve in the Red Army. But Soviet sources never mentioned this.

    Seems neither of these confusions should be left standing.

    Churches were Reformed, and the scholastic record was reset. The name for that reset is the Enlightenment, a project defined by its avoidance of Catholic devices and the accumulated treasure of Scholasticism. The Enlightenment is the basis for scientific modernity, which inherits its cosmology, epistemology, and methods. I also recommend distinguishing Scholasticism from Classicism and the Enlightenment from Neoclassicism. They are not the same.

    Secondly, unbroken natural government is not easily suffered, especially if it is originally foreign. Every savage has a chief and a reproductive huddle.

    Actual Germans, who survived the Soviet occupation, reported that the Soviet troops raped every female from children to old women

    No, “actual Germans” who were propped up by the CIA said that. The real rapists were the American tri-racial troops (who also mass raped French females as well).

    Several Germans I’ve spoken with who lived through the occupation said the British were the most civilized towards the defeated

    This is Stockholm syndrome. They are victims of propaganda shoved down their throats during their decades under American occupation. The same Germans will also tell you all about the lolocaust. In reality, the British mass murdered Germans.

    “Churches were Reformed, and the scholastic record was reset. The name for that reset is the Enlightenment”

    You’re confounding Protestantism with 18th Century Rationalism now?

    The political philosophy of the Enlightenment is not scientific. That is not to say it is wholly irrational. However, the notion of “the people” forming a Republican government in the United States is a myth.

    It is, wittingly or not, based on the writings of Jesuits like Suarez.

    What, if anything, makes political subjection legitimate? For Suárez, the question is compelling given that “man is by his nature free and subject to no one, save only to the Creator”

    Thomas Aquinas (and later Bellarmine) said all men are created equal in the Summa, Tom Paine ripped him off in the Declaration of Independence.

    I haven’t seen any real evidence that soviets committed more rapes than average for any military in war time. It’s all obvious CIA propaganda about “mongol hordes” and so on. I will admit that the British probably had the lowest incidence of raping females, but that is only because Anglos usually prefer to rape young boys.

    Leaving aside the issue of war rapes, we know that the Americans put Germans in “Eisenhower death camps” and murdered a large number of them. The soviets did not. The USA also pushed a decades long program of de-Germanization aimed at destroying German culture and making Germans hate themselves and their history (a program that included things like giving German children to pedophiles to be raped in order to cure their “authoritarian personalities”). Soviets did not do this (even today, East Germany is still more patriotic and not self-hating like the west). The USA also forced Germany to take in foreign “guest workers” who still haven’t left decades later. Soviets did not do this.

    Anyway, my main point was just that the western narrative of benevolent Americans and British “rebuilding Germany” is totally phony. It’s not like the soviets were perfect saints, but if anything they were better than the west, which was much more ideologically anti-German. The official Soviet position was that good German proletariat were duped into supporting naziism by a capitalist conspiracy. The official American position was that Germans were intrinsically evil and could only redeem themselves by negating their own Germanness.

    You can get the pdf of Carl Becker’s “The Heavenly City of the !8th Century Philosophers” at library genesis. I wonder if Ron is able to put that work up here, seeing as Becker passed away in 1945.

    The political philosophy of the 18th Century is not scientific and not really dependent on Protestant theology. IT IS, however, dependent on scholastic philosophy. They had to get it from somewhere. Pascal blames Descartes: “In all his philosophy he would have been quite willing to dispense with God. But he had to make Him give a fillip to set the world in motion; beyond this, he has no further need of God.” The Deists need a Creator to make men free and independent, from that point they rely the ground already trodden by the scholastics, which had been borrowed by Puritans at odds with the Stuarts.

    It is becoming clear, however, that gentiles must not be free and independent. Thomas Jefferson was willing to speak of being willing to see “half the earth desolated. Were there but an Adam and an Eve left in every country, and left free, it would be better than as it now is.” – and I take it he means the Catholic parts of Europe. Today the GOP Protestants who invoke Jefferson are telling us we are not independent, but DEPENDENT ON ISRAEL. Dan Crenshaw says:

    America would not be here without Israel and the important lessons of Jerusalem

    If we are dependent on Israel then we are going to be ruled by Israel, by Divine Right. That’s what Yarvin is driving at with all his writings. It has nothing to do with rejecting the Enlightenment. It has to do with revealing what “the Enlightenment” was always intended to prepare all along. In that sense it is true that the Puritan strand of Protestant thought was always obsessed with role of the Jews as world history was to reach its culmination. They were obsessed with gaining the approval of Jews. That obsession was sealed away in the arcana of the Lodges while “philosophes” scribbled away for the gentile public.

    German POWs were held for up to 10 years and often starved in Soviet prison camps. The Reds murdered captured soldiers and treated German civilians like dirt. Even the Russian patriot and Red Army soldier Aleksander Solzhenitsyn wrote about the arrest of a Soviet officer for trying to prevent the mass rape. I don’t think Anthony Beevor could be considered a CIA asset as he wrote about the Eisenhower “death camps” and even he wrote about the mass rapes, too. Diaries and interviews with survivors, private conversations I’ve had with people on both sides confirm, at least in my mind, the barbarism of the Red Army. Germans I personally knew told me they were treated decently by the British and usually treated well by the Americans. I’m convinced.

    There’s a good book on the topic called The Russians in Germany by Norman Naimark. People might have a problem with that author, but he utilizes plenty of sources and I think it’s a topic most historians simply don’t want to touch because of the deliberate demonization of Germany. He also covers the years after the war and the alleged crimes that went on all through creation of the GDR. After reading that book it’s easy to understand why many Germans chose death rather than experience an unknown future.
