Rufo v Yarvin
-
Who are these people?
-
I’ll admit that in my darker moments, I can see the appeal of Yarvin’s accountable monarchy, but not seriously. The guy is a racist asshole and Rufo should wipe the floor with him.
-
Yarvin was an obscure alt-right blogger maybe 20 years ago who stopped writing around 15 years ago, but maintained a following. Some new right Silicon Valley folks started paying attention to him a couple years ago which ended up including Vance. So now he’s writing again and has a much larger audience. He was mentioned once or twice on old TNCR. He considers himself a ‘Jacobite’ and believes in something like absolute monarchy.
Rufo is the thinking man’s Jack Prosobiec. An online culture warrior but more intelligent and refined. He has a position at the Manhattan Institute. I think he cut his teeth on CRT and DEI as his major issues but is broader now.

Sorry, I've never heard of him either.

That’s good. I won’t ruin it.
I think I'm going to stick with watching music gear, formula 1 and chess streams and try to avoid all these chaps. Probably better for my mental health, which needs all the help it can get...
