Donald Trump und seine Regierung verunsichern die gesamte Welt. Verfolgt die US-Regierung eine Strategie oder handelt sie wirklich so erratisch und widersprüchlich wie es immer wieder scheint? Von Ralph Glander.
Nadia Asparouhova, author of "Antimemetics: Why Some Ideas Resist Spreading," joins me for a fascinating exploration of why some ideas go viral while others—often the most important ones—resist transmission entirely. We dive into antimemes, Curtis Yarvin's journey from being canceled to becoming mainstream, St. Paul as history's ultimate memetic engineer, and why "Don't Mess with Texas" became a masterpiece of viral messaging. Plus her current research on advanced meditation techniques, internet dynamics, and MUCH MORE!

This week, Scott sat down with Lawfare Senior Editors Molly Reynolds and Quinta Jurecic, and Contributing Editor Chris Mirasola, to focus on the week's big domestic news, including:“Drama Majors, Meet Major Drama.” In the glittering city of Los Angeles, the Trump administration has taken the dramatic step of calling up the California National Guard and deploying them alongside active duty Marines to secure federal personnel and facilities, specifically against protestors demonstrating against the Trump administration's draconian immigration policies. Is this the beginning of a broader threat to the constitutional order, as some of Trump's critics say it is? And what should we make of President Trump's suggestion that he may yet invoke the controversial Insurrection Act?“Precision Rescission, What's Your Mission?” The Trump administration has asked Congress to formally rescind a slice of the federal spending it has been withholding since entering office, specifically relating to foreign assistance and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting—a request the House seems poised to move on this week. How likely is it that Congress will agree to the cut in funds? And what will the implications be for relevant legal challenges and Trump's broader agenda?“There and Back Again.” After an unexpected journey and epic delays on the part of the government, the Trump administration has finally repatriated Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the man who was mistakenly deported to El Salvador—only to charge him with human trafficking and other federal crimes in Tennessee. How serious are the charges against him? And is this likely to be a win or loss for the administration's broader immigration agenda?In object lessons, Molly shared a ranking of New York mayoral candidates by their bagel orders—and whose order is so bad, it's a schmear on their very New Yorker-ness. Quinta recommends Ava Kofman's profile of Curtis Yarvin in the New Yorker as a masterclass in the art of meticulous evisceration. Scott introduced his 4-year-old to his old Tintin books by Hergé—because it's never too early to get into the drawbacks of colonialism. And Chris fled real DC drama for fake DC drama with The Residence on Netflix.To receive ad-free podcasts, become a Lawfare Material Supporter at www.patreon.com/lawfare.

The New Yorker staff writer Ava Kofman joins Tyler Foggatt to discuss her recent Profile of the iconoclastic right-wing blogger Curtis Yarvin. They discuss Yarvin's desire to end American democracy by installing a monarch, whether his provocations can be seen as trolling, and how his writings have found a receptive audience among conservative politicians and the tech élite. “Obviously, Yarvin's influence on the right is great, and maybe can't be overstated,” Kofman says. “But, at the same time, a lot of these ideas he's getting from having conversations with powerful people in Silicon Valley and with powerful people in Washington.”This week's reading: “Curtis Yarvin's Plot Against America,” by Ava Kofman “Democracy Wins a Referendum in South Korea,” by E. Tammy Kim “Josh Hawley and the Republican Effort to Love Labor,” by Eyal Press “Trump Makes America's Refugee Program a Tool of White Racial Grievance,” by Jonathan Blitzer “Elon Musk's Vanishing Act,” by Jon Allsop To discover more podcasts from The New Yorker, visit newyorker.com/podcasts.

In this episode of Hawk Podcasts, we dive headfirst into the bizarre and disturbing world of Curtis Yarvin, a.k.a. Mencius Moldbug—a man whose anti-democracy, neo-reactionary ideology is beloved by Silicon Valley elites like Peter Thiel, Mark Andreessen, and even JD Vance.Yarvin wants to replace democracy with a CEO-style monarchy. Yes, really. No elections, no opposition, just top-down autocratic control led by billionaires. We explore his connections to the Trump world, his shockingly racist writings, and his role in inspiring Project 2025.Along the way, we call out his bizarre terminology—“SovCorps,” “Patchwork Sovereignty,” and his casual praise for slavery as a “private welfare” solution. All from a man who claims he's not a white nationalist... even though he had to write essays explaining why.This is Part 1 of our Yarvin takedown. We'll laugh, we'll rage, we'll realign our chakras—because it's that wild.

Happy Russia Military Transport Aviation Day, everyone! This June 1st, all Nazi hunters celebrated as Ukraine destroyed 34% of Russia's warplanes. We're throwing a Gaslit Nation block party, featuring an old friend from the war, warning the world what comes next. Splitting his time between the frontline in Ukraine and his animal sanctuary in South Africa, conservationist Lionel De Lange runs aid to animals and people alike on the frontlines of Russia's genocidal invasion, including shooting down drones at night. We discuss how World War III has already started; Russia's recent attempts to bomb Chernobyl to weaponize its radioactive waste against Ukraine and broader Europe; the recent disappointing elections in Poland; Zelensky's brilliant Operation Spider's Web that will live in history books; and why Putin is a dead man walking. This week's bonus show focuses on how to protect our rights in a time of lawlessness, featuring insights from Leah Litman of the Strict Scrutiny podcast and author of Lawless: How the Supreme Court Runs on Conservative Grievance, Fringe Theories, and Bad Vibes, and why everyone should watch the livestream of George Clooney's Goodnight, and Good Luck on June 7th.

Curtis Yarvin is a political theorist who was once so controversial that academics dared not speak his name, but now he is appearing in the New York Times and debating professors at Harvard University. Yarvin joins me to discuss his rise in elite circles and the best way to capture or dismantle institutions like Harvard. We also discuss the Trump administration's approach to foreign policy, deportations, civil rights law, and the administrative state.

Cathy Young's new hit piece on Curtis Yarvin (aka Mencius Moldbug) doesn't mince words. Titled The Blogger Who Hates America, it describes him as an "inept", "not exactly coherent" "trollish, ill-informed pseudo-intellectual" notable for his "woefully superficial knowledge and utter ignorance". Yarvin's fans counter that if you look deeper, he has good responses to Young's objections: Both sides are right. The synthesis is that Moldbug sold out. In the late 2000s, Moldbug wrote some genuinely interesting speculations on novel sci-fi variants of autocracy. Admitting that the dictatorships of the 20th century were horrifying, he proposed creative ways to patch their vulnerabilities by combining 18th century monarchy with 22nd century cyberpunk to create something better than either. These ideas might not have been realistic. But they were cool, edgy, and had a certain intellectual appeal. Then in the late 2010s, he caught his first whiff of actual power and dropped it all like a hot potato. The MAGA movement was exactly what 2000s Moldbug feared most - a cancerous outgrowth of democracy riding the same wave of populist anger as the 20th century dictatorships he loathed. But in the hope of winning a temporary political victory, he let them wear him as a skinsuit - giving their normal, boring autocratic tendencies the mystique of the cool, edgy, all-vulnerabilities-patched autocracy he foretold in his manifestos. https://www.astralcodexten.com/p/moldbug-sold-out
Faschistische Strömungen haben in den USA so viel Einfluss wie noch nie. Über Trumps Vize JD Vance und Tech-Unternehmer wie Peter Thiel führen Verbindungen zu einem faschistischen Blogger namens Curtis Yarvin und fundamentalen Christen. Wer mehr darüber wissen möchte, wie Tech-Unternehmer wie Peter Thiel oder Elon Musk so (einfluss-) reich geworden sind, der sollte unbedingt die neueste Staffel vom Podcast Wild Wild Web hören.
JD Vance is one heartbeat away from the presidency, and he's a big part of the Republican Party's future. It turns out, his ideas are also part of the reason the second Trump term has been a lot more pure MAGA than the first. POLITICO's Ian Ward returns to the show to recap Vance's first few months in office, his political future, and go deep on some of the New Right's major intellectual influences. By Ian Ward: The Spiritual Case for Greenland There's No Need to Guess. JD Vance Is Ready to Ignore the Courts. Curtis Yarvin's Ideas Were Fringe. Now They're Coursing Through Trump's Washington.

We also discuss “Timeenergy” as the basis of socialism and examine the question of whether socialism will be a “conservative” movement in opposition to the constant, accelerating change of capitalism.

Gov. Gavin Newsom says the state’s budget problems are largely a result of volatility in the stock market, caused by President Trump’s tariffs. Newsom calls it the “Trump Slump.” Far-right blogger Curtis Yarvin thinks democracy is outdated and wants to restore a monarchy to the U.S. Among his followers is Vice President JD Vance. The person who usually gets the biggest role and the most money for a film is known as “No. 1 on the call sheet.” Black actors and actresses who’ve achieved that status are the focus of a new documentary. Gambling scandals meant Pete Rose and “Shoeless” Joe Jackson were ineligible for the Baseball Hall of Fame. That changed on Tuesday.

A 2000-ben hatalomra került Putyin kifogásolta, hogy a sportolók nem tudják énekelni a szövegtelen himnuszt, ezért végül azt a megoldást találták ki, hogy visszahozták a szovjet himnusz dallamát, és Szergej Mihalkov írt rá új, kommunistamentes szöveget.) 13:30 A birodalom vándorlása. Moszkva és Róma. 14:30 Nagy Péter furkósbottal próbálta bekergetni Oroszországot Európába. 15:20 Clausewitz Borogyinónál léptet fakó lován. 17:00 Rilke orosz költő akart lenni. De még a bolsevikok is europizáltak. 22:50 Trauma zone – a BBC dokumentumsorozata a posztszovjet Oroszországról. 24:45 Szibirizácijá: terjeszkedés keletre. 27:30 Senki nem akarja Kínát Kínában naggyá tenni. Romantikus titanizmus. 29:00 Zsirinovszkij vs. Trump. Ripacspolitikusok. 29:40 Trump táncol, Jelcin táncol. 31:00 Ha eljutottál a véres erőszakig, akkor megszűntél létezni. 31:50 A 93-as Duma-választások eredménye: a Zsirinovszkij-féle Liberális Demokrata Párt szerezte a legtöbb mandátumot. Zjuganov kommunista pártja nyerte az 1995-ös Duma-választást, Zjuganov maga pedig az óriási médiaellenszélben szűk második lett a semmiből visszahozott Jelcin mögött az 1996-os elnökválasztáson. 33:40 Jelcin táncoltatták. Trump magától táncol. 35:37: A szövegben az 1995-ös orosz elnökválasztás hangzik el, valójában az elnökválasztás 1996-ban volt, 1995-ben parlamenti (Duma-)választások voltak. 39:30 Elon Musk és Lázár, a fehérbohócok. 44:00 A mesterséges intelligencia fejlesztésén múlik a világ valódfi sorsa, az ukrán háború senkit sem érdekel. Oroszország facér lány, három évig Kínának riszálta magát, de nem kellett. 52:00 Orbán a Bermuda-háromszögben. A magyar történelemben nem példa nélküli a mellényúlás. 56:00 Curtis Yarvin posztfasiszta blogger és filozófus. 63:00 Magyar Péter után lohol a Fidesz az online térben. Magyar túl komoly, nincs humora. 71:00 A nagy színjáték mögött zajlik Amerika és Oroszország közeledése. 83:00 Kant: Örök béke 91:00 „Nincs tehetségünk kicsinek lenni.” (Babits) A birodalmi elitnek több korlátja van, a nemzetállami szinte korlátozhatatlan. 93:00 Trianon-vallás vs. Európa. Miért nem fogható föl, hogy megszűnt a Románia és Magyarország közötti trianoni határ? 98:00 Az ukrajnai háborúnak idén vége lesz. 101:00 Az illiberális korszak vége. Ez már nem a liberalizmus és illiberalizmus harca, hanem a világhegemóniáért folyó küzdelem. A technofeaudalizmus kísértete. Ha választani kéne alkotmányos monarchia és illiberális demokrácia között… 107:00 Rendszerváltó hangulat Budapesten. Hol vagyunk már vízágyútól, gumibottól? Kamera! 110:00 Ha megszületik a szuperintelligencia, minden beszélgetésünk értelmét veszti. Succession: a legnagyobbak mércéjével mérhető művészeti, erkölcsi teljesítmény. Shakespeare-i minőség. 116:00 A rendszer vért fagylal. 121:00 Európa múzeum. (Giorgio Agamben) See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Tech Bros., like Elon Musk and JD Vance puppetmaster Peter Thiel, see Trump as a means to an end: to build their own tech-state fiefdoms as they usher in the A.I. age, at the expense of us peasants. But can this unholy alliance survive Trump's disastrous trade war? And why do they fetishize hating Ukraine? This week's special guest, Adrian Karatnycky, has been on the frontlines fighting for democracy both at home and abroad. In his critically acclaimed book Battleground Ukraine, Adrian traces Ukraine's struggle for independence from the fall of the Soviet Union to Russia's genocidal invasion today, drawing important lessons for protecting democracies worldwide. He has worked alongside civil rights legend Bayard Rustin and the AFL-CIO, the largest federation of unions in America. He also supported Poland's Solidarity movement, which helped bring down the Iron Curtain, and played a key role, along with iconic Soviet dissident, writer, and Czech statesman Václav Havel, in preserving Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty in the 1990s, when many thought the Cold War had ended. In part two, we discuss the PayPal Mafia's war on Ukraine as part of a broader global assault on "wokeism" (a.k.a. Empathy and democracy), Adrian's impressions of meeting Curtis Yarvin, and how the war in Ukraine can ultimately end. For part one of their discussion, available in the show notes, Andrea and Adrian explore how Europe and the free world can survive the chaos of Trump's America First isolationism and Russia's weaponized corruption and election interference. Thank you to everyone who joined the Gaslit Nation Salon live-taping with Patrick Guarasci and Sam Roecker, senior campaign advisors for Judge Susan Crawford, discussing their victory against Elon Musk in the pivotal Wisconsin Supreme Court race.

Happy Going! We're all getting punchy heading into the weekend, as if the weekend will be a breather for any of us. David Waldman effectuates our weekending KITM, and I facilitate that with this summary, I hope. Donald K. Trump pardoned a corporation, yet has not appointed a horse to Senate, which might be more of a late term thing. Polytheism seems to be wearing thin in Trump/Musk circles, with Elon Musk's pride goething before his fall. Thou shalt bow down thyself only onto Trump in Cabinet meetings. (Graven images available at the door.) Two people guilty of not praising Donald enough are being investigated for treason, while Trump shops for his presidential Luger. Marco Rubio is punishing the country of South Sudan for not accepting the Democratic Republic of the Congo citizen he sent there by mistake. The commander of a Greenland military base was ousted when she failed to rattle her saber loudly enough for JD Vance. US tells Greenland “I see you have Injuns! We have Injuns!” Kennedy Center president Richard Grenell believes people boycotting the Kennedy Center hate Republicans, when mostly they hate Richard Grenell. What happens when the courts can't trust the Executive Branch? Well, we are about to find out, because the courts can't trust the Executive Branch. Learn more about courts of equity, such as the Court of Chancery. Kash Patel plans to work remotely in his FBI position but wasn't remotely working in his ATF job. Hey now… there's no proof that Marjorie Taylor Green participated in insider trading this week, or placed pipe bombs prior to Jan 6… It just looks like that. RFK Jr. will discover the cause of autism by this fall, but if you have cancer, you'll need to wait a little longer. It's only TLDR if you don't take the time to read it! How did the President lose and when did he lose it in the SCOTUS Alien Enemy Act case? Curtis Yarvin always wanted to destroy the United States and the global economy, yet somehow still feels empty inside.
As far-right tech billionaires continue to seize power, the United States is facing a new and dangerous threat: techno-fascism. This week, Imara unpacks this dangerous new force in American politics with journalist Gil Duran. First, Gil traces the influence of Curtis Yarvin's extreme beliefs on Peter Thiel, Elon Musk and JD Vance. He explains how tech elites are working to dismantle democracy and install a corporate dictatorship, why their movement is so focused on trans people, and what it will take for the American people to resist this dark vision for our future.

In this week's Jackpod Meghna and Jack spoke about this episode of On Point from August last year about ‘radical monarchist' Curtis Yarvin and the so-called New Right movement. To make it easy to find we're dropping it here again.
"If Americans want to change their government, they're going to have to get over their dictator-phobia." That's neo-reactionary philosopher Curtis Yarvin in 2012, when he outlined a strategy that's eerily similar to how Trump and Musk are now destroying our government. The "dark enlightenment" blogger, long a transgressive darling of the New Right, has in the last two months enjoyed a fresh round of mainstream exposure. We look at a man who has the ear of those who are reshaping our world at breakneck speed.

Silicon Valley's traditionally Democratic tech leaders are turning toward President Donald Trump, but are the reasons as straightforward as lower taxes and favorable regulations? Perhaps not, if we consider the influence of a convoluted political philosophy called the “Dark Enlightenment.” Washington and Silicon Valley power players, including Vice President JD Vance, Steve Bannon, Peter Thiel, and Marc Andreessen, have all cited the philosophy's ideas and one of its leading developers, Curtis Yarvin. Yarvin was reportedly present at Trump's inaugural gala as an informal guest of honor.In a nutshell, Dark Enlightenment rejects liberal democracy as an outdated software system incompatible with freedom and progress. Instead, it argues for breaking up the nation-state into smaller authoritarian city-states, which Yarvin calls “patchworks.” These patchworks will be controlled by tech corporations and run by CEOs. The theory is attached to another idea called accelerationism, which harnesses capitalism and technology to induce radical social change. In fact, Yarvin proposed a plan he called “RAGE”—or “Retire All Government Employees”—as far back as 2012.So, how did this obscure and oxymoronically named philosophy reach the highest echelons of business and political power? Bethany and Luigi trace the theory from its origins to its practical manifestations in Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency, Silicon Valley's race to develop artificial intelligence, and the growing push for “Freedom Cities” unfettered from federal regulations. Are the people embracing Dark Enlightenment espousing its ideas because they genuinely believe it is the way forward for humanity? Or do they believe it because it's a way for them to make money? What does it mean for capitalism and democracy if the administration runs the federal government like a tech company?

How do we fight back against the broligarchs? Journalist Gil Durán, of the must-read newsletters Nerd Reich and FrameLab, shows the way, in this week's Gaslit Nation. Jean-Paul Sartre's famous line, “Hell is other people,” from his play No Exit, written in Nazi-occupied France, captured a grievance that mirrored the era's ideological clashes—fascism, communism, and isolationism, often overlapping and competing, fueling Stalin's genocides, the Holocaust, and World War II. The solution to sharing society with others, it seemed, was elimination: kill them. This is why democracies rely on tolerance—you don't have to like my existence, but you must let me exist in peace. Yet today's tech oligarchs, having amassed unimaginable wealth, would rather invest billions in creating tech colonies and new religions to justify mass murder, enslavement, and C.E.O. king fiefdoms than address world hunger, provide free education, and strengthen social safety nets. Their vision isn't coexistence—they're building an anti-empathy billionaire bunker cult. Gil Durán, a San Francisco journalist and former editorial page editor of The Sacramento Bee and The San Francisco Examiner, has a front-row view of the rise of the broligarchs, analyzing their fascist justifications for cruelty in his popular newsletter, Nerd Reich. Durán spent over a decade in California politics, serving as chief communications strategist for Governor Jerry Brown, Senator Dianne Feinstein, Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, and Attorney General Kamala Harris. His work has appeared in The New Republic, Esquire, and PBS. He co-founded Framelab, a newsletter on politics, language, and the brain, with Dr. George Lakoff. Most importantly we discuss: how do we defeat the Nerd Reich and the Vichy Democrats? This week's bonus for our Patreon subscribers at the Truth-teller level and higher continues with Gil Durán of Nerd Reich, examining Democratic leaders as controlled opposition—public allies secretly serving the oligarchs.

Sam Harris speaks with Jonah Goldberg about the damage Trump is doing domestically and abroad. They discuss Trump's tariffs, Curtis Yarvin and the Tech Right, threats against Republicans who criticize Trump, why the arguments Republicans are using to defend Trump's position on Ukraine are flawed, America's deteriorating moral standing on the global stage, the recklessness of DOGE, why so many CEOs bent the knee to Trump, antisemitism on the Right, Trump's plan for Gaza, worst case scenarios for Trump 2.0, and other topics.

With Donald Trump's election to a second term and the rise of the New Right, many mainstream publications have focused on Curtis Yarvin as the intellectual vanguard of the movement, but there is another neo-reactionary philosopher who may have had a bigger impact. Nick Land's theory of technological and political acceleration predicted the rise of the "tech bro" Right and the ascension of figures like Elon Musk and Marc Andreessen.
