“As Elon Musk studies up on how to start a third political party, among the people from whom he has sought advice is a somewhat surprising choice of consultant: the right-wing blogger Curtis Yarvin, who is perhaps best known for advocating monarchism,” the New York Times reports.

“Mr. Yarvin is one of the most influential thinkers on the so-called tech right, where he has attracted attention for his oft-expressed distaste for traditional American democracy.”

If I had my way, I would deport them all to ruskie land... Magats think russia is so fucking wonderful? Have at it.

I once offered to pay for a one-way ticket for a young redneck who was trying to preach to me about how much better russia is because "they don't have to pay taxes."

About the time I told him they don't have much access to food, running water, electricity, etc., he turned a little green...

Fucking little magat. (I was waiting to get my drivers license, so I couldn't escape, so I took the next best option to pummel him with knowledge, facts, and words.)

I have no fear of them. What can they do? Kill me? I don't ascribe to their man made religions, thus, I have no fear of death.

But he says the things the techbro wannabe kings like to hear, like how they are so, so talented that they and only they deserve to run the world, so he is "influential".

and is NO intellectual. He has the ear of Peter Theil ( and, therefore, Eloon ).

These are all evil people.

He would be known by a small group who regard him as some sort of strange performance artist

This “plan” for electing third-party candidates to control the slim margins of majority in Congress—in a publicly posted reply to Elon Musk—is coming straight from the account of a Russian social media engineer the U.S. Senate said has been behind Kremlin propaganda bot networks
