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

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. In The Backroom, Mikey and I discuss the long-awaited debate between Slavoj Zizek and Nick Land, Mikey's experience meeting Zizek, and some philosophical questions regarding the rationale for socialism.

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. 

01:00 A hosszú 444-cikk Szilágyi Ákos verseskötetéről, benne az író közéleti publicisztikai műveinek gyors áttekintése. Bevezető helyett. Szilágyi Oroszország politikai fejlődéséről a posztszovjet korszakban: Oroszország elrablása, Borisz sztár és a sztárevicsek, Túlirányított demokrácia. 03:00 Az ukrán háború kitörése után írott cikke: Finis Russia. Rolf Peter Sieferle: Finis Germania. Auschwitz nem akar elmúlni. 06:00 Oroszország és Európa sorsa összefügg. Ma is. Európa himnusza oltári nagy giccs. 07:20 Oroszország nem tudott himnuszt produkálni a kilencvenes években. (A Szovjetunió felbomlása után Mihail Glinka Hazafias dal – Patrioticseszkaja Pesznya – című műve lett az orosz himnusz, de szöveg nélkül. 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?

Philip Wallach (follow on X) is a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute and the author of the book Why Congress, which he joins Richard Hanania to discuss. In this conversation, Hanania and Wallach review the historical role of Congress in American politics, focusing on key events from the FDR administration to the present. Wallach explains the important role Congress played in making sure that Roosevelt did not take the country too far down the path of economic statism, a history that Hanania points out is in tension with some of the ideas of Curtis Yarvin. Throughout the conversation, Wallach emphasizes the importance of Congress in shaping policy and maintaining a balance of power between the branches of government. They explore the impact of significant legislation, the dynamics of the Civil Rights Movement, and changes in Congressional structure during the 1970s. The discussion also touches on the influence of Newt Gingrich, the ongoing challenges of governance in a polarized political environment, the impact of Trump, and the potential for bipartisan cooperation on policy issues. Wallach argues for a more responsive Congress that can find compromises between political factions and effectively address the concerns of the American public.Hanania plays devil's advocate, and asks whether it might be better for Congress not to legislate, using European states and the EU as a comparison.

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.

Curtis Yarvin, is a political theorist and writer known for his critiques of liberal democracy. Under the pseudonym 'Mencius Moldbug' he developed ideas that have influenced the New Right and post liberal political movements. Curtis Yarvin spoke to The Spectator's Angus Colwell about why Britain is in decline, how far Europe should go to protect itself against Putin, whether Churchill-bashing is fair, and what would be his top three book recommendations. 

Michael Malice (“YOUR WELCOME”) invites the always entertaining author, Curtis Yarvin, back onto the show to talk about his surprising experience being interviewed by the New York Times, his opinion on Michael's recently purchased “toy” from the 19th century, and the many reasons why the jig is up for USAID. x.com/curtis_yarvin graymirror.substack.com Order THE WHITE PILL: http://whitepillbook.com/ Order THE ANARCHIST HANDBOOK: https://www.amzn.com/B095DVF8FJ Order THE NEW RIGHT: https://amzn.to/2IFFCCu Order DEAR READER: https://t.co/vZfTVkK6qf?amp=1 https://twitter.com/michaelmalice https://instagram.com/michaelmalice https://malice.locals.com https://youtube.com/michaelmaliceofficial Intro song: "Out of Reach" by Legendary House Cats https://thelegendaryhousecats.bandcamp.com/ The newest episode of "YOUR WELCOME" releases on iTunes and YouTube every Wednesday!

It's News Day Tuesday! Sam and Emma speak with Gil Duran, journalist based in California, proprietor of the website The Nerd Reich, co-writer of the FrameLab newsletter, to discuss his recent piece in The Nerd Reich entitled "'Reboot' Revealed: Elon Musk's CEO-Dictator Playbook." First, Sam and Emma run through updates on Trump/Elon's abject refusal to follow court orders, the release of the White House Ethics Czar, the repeal of a ban on bribing foreign officials, the DOJ dropping its case against Eric Adams in an open case of blackmail, Trump's gutting of the CFPB, Oregon Nurses' ongoing labor battle, IRS and ICE, Mike Johnson's Budget, and Hegseth's revival of Fort Bragg, before diving a little deeper into the open insanity of the ongoing collusion between Eric Adams and the Trump Regime. Gil Duran then joins, diving right into the concept of the Network State – an idea advanced by Big Tech's thought leader Curtis Yarvin and his billionaire buddies (Thiel, Andreessen, Musk, etc) that Tech CEOs should take advantage of the collapse of Nation States and democracy in favor of establishing corporate, CEO-run dictatorship, either by gutting and replacing existing governments or purchasing sovereign territories – as Duran unpacks his first introduction to this ideology with Silicon Valley's attempt to hijack San Francisco's political institutions, before parsing a little deeper through the recent, much more public discussions of this theory advanced by the likes of Peter Thiel, Marc Andreessen, and Curtis Yarvin. After expanding on how we are already seeing the blueprint for a Network State in action, with Trump serving as a figurehead to a Tech CEO's gutting of our administrative and democratic institutions in favor of sycophants and centralized power, Duran looks to how this came to be the active ideology of the GOP so quickly, unpacking how the collapse of the Biden campaign and naming of JD Vance as Trump's VP opened up an opportunity for the Big Tech to step in, starting with Elon's massive public $300m investment and culminating in Yarvin's Reboot conference in San Francisco last September, exploring the obvious parallels between Big Tech's dictator obsession and the GOP's white nationalism and parsing through their unified scapegoating of “woke” and “DEI” in the leadup to the election to the point of completely dominating both mainstream and social media (bolstered by the financial leverage and ownership Big Tech has over those institutions). Next, Gil, Sam, and Emma unpack the major challenges facing the Trump-Musk regime, as Trump is on his last legs with no other favorable alternative in sight while any failure to maintain control over both political and media institutions potentially meaning a complete upending of their “progress,” not to mention the obvious lack of preparedness (or ability) for this institution to deal with any real public or institutional opposition – the latter of which seems to be particularly hopeless among Democratic leadership – wrapping up by emphasizing the genuine insecurity this regime faces in the face of public scrutiny and touching on the potential danger of Big Tech's goal of replacing the US Dollar with Bitcoin. And in the Fun Half: Sam and Emma watch Rep. Gerry Connolly – aka Pelosi's pick to take over AOC's bid for Oversight chair –  embody the Democrats' impotence amid an ongoing threat to US Democracy, parse through some highlights from a “Hands off our CFPB” rally, and unpack Hakeem Jeffries' claim (and thus failure to address) that access to healthcare is an established right. They also touch on the ongoing GOP push to gut your Medicaid/Medicare and Social Security, before basking in the hilarity of Milo Yiannopoulos questioning Tim Pool's failure to background check the millions he was getting from Russia, plus, your IMs!   It's News Day Tuesday!

Bridget sits down with Curtis Yarvin, political theorist and writer formerly known as Mencius Moldbug. They discuss the road that brought Curtis to this point, his debate with Ilya Shapiro, whether capitalism requires democracy, whether oligarchs are more concerned with the outcomes of power rather then power itself, the Arab Spring, debating “isms”, why he believes the most peaceful and stable form of government is the monarchy, the truth about revolutions, why he's selective about his conspiracy theories, the Great No, the power of the executive branch, and why all Libs are basically conformists.

Political theorist Curtis Yarvin has been very critical about the ability of Donald Trump to effect change in the United States government. But in his latest blog post, Yarvin apologized to both Trump and conservative activist Christopher Rufo for doubting their ability to make a significant impact. We'll be discussing what Yarvin got wrong about this political moment and reviewing his newest book.

Don't count America out just yet! Democrats flipped a state Senate seat in Iowa, in a district Trump won by 21 percent—a resounding rebuke to the psychopath in the White House. In an election year that saw incumbents lose all over the world, Trump barely scraped by with one of the narrowest victories in generations, even with the help of the world's richest man, Elon Musk, bribing voters, rampant far-right disinformation, voter suppression laws, several Russian bomb threats, and GOP ratf*cking—everything we covered on the show during the 2024 election, asking, “Is anyone going to do anything, Merrick Garland?”  Americans are notoriously fickle, flipping back and forth between parties 16 times since 2000. Expect a shift in the midterms and a potential flip in the 2028 presidential election. But here's the real question: what if our elections have become as fake as Russia's? We'll dive into that in an upcoming episode to explore what leverage we have left to protect the integrity of our vote. What matters most now is unity in opposition to Trump. But how can we come together when so much resentment remains over who refused to vote for Kamala Harris out of protest and encouraged others to do the same. In this week's bonus show of Gaslit Nation, Andrea and Terrell Starr from the Black Diplomats Podcast and Substack discuss how we can set aside our differences, forgive the past, and unite for the future of our democracy. It's the beginning of a tough conversation that ignited online after Trump essentially called for ethnic cleansing in Gaza and the deportation of pro-Palestinian protesters here at home—an outcome many of us warned about when we urged people to vote for the sake of humanity's survival.   Want to enjoy Gaslit Nation ad-free?

Buckle up, there are tiny, crazy monkeys on tricycles riding around inside Jonah Goldberg's brain, and the only way to let them out is an epic, mega Ruminant. You're welcome, America. Jonah begins with a defense of his free spirit and recent snarkiness before he launches into a critique of Curtis Yarvin's recent antics in the New York Times. He covers FDR's stint in Silicon Valley, neo-reactionary historical revisionism, and other lines of sophomoric nonsense. In the realm of politics: the hypocrisy of social conservatives, the dueling moral repugnancy of Joe Biden and Donald Trump's pardons, and the problems with abandoning conservative principles to own the libs.
