(15,488 posts)Heh..yeah I have been following these si valley creeps for a while.
The reason I am pointing these next few things out is not that I think these morons will be wildly successful with their drivel. God I hope not anyway! But I do think a lot of the public has no idea that these are not just successful entrepreneurs etc. Many of them are seriously nuts.
If people are unhappy with their lives under a govt of actual policy makers, wait till it is a bunch of drugged-out crypto bros with narcissistic delusions who genuinely seem to be incapable of comprehending that anyone other than their own selves is an actual, real human being. Idiots who think everything is a damn meme or alt right joke.
This lunatic who preached about some bullshit called the dark enlightenment is one of their neo reactionary heroes:

These are their actual thinkers: this Nick Land guy; a pretentious moron called Curtis Yarvin. who writes these lame pseudo intellectual things. What is also really sad is that all their insecurities and idiocy are on display in their writings..if they were brighter they would shut up.
Land seems to have been an even more consummate nutcase than Yarvin .

(The original magazines those two articles are from no longer exist, but the source articles were respectable enough. I dont think Park MacDougal is even liberal-he writes for Unherd- but he is not crazy)
I mean I dont want to give you nightmares. I wouldnt want to spread fear myself via the net. Its just stuff to be aware of when they pretend to be thinkers or efficient etc.
They are these drugged-out guys who often still seem stuck in the college frat house grandiosely pontificating wasted about how awesome world would be if only they ran things. Some of these idiots (Yarvin and Tunney at least) actually talk about how awesome monarchy/aristocracy were.
And it is done with that sleazy, grating alt right flair as if it is all just joke. However, they are actually trolling govt employees or really anyone who pays attention to their shallow selves. It is very angering how lightly they take other peoples lives and problems. These are horrible people. Imagine people on SS, SSDI or generally getting by being trolled by these vapid, irresponsible, callous assholes. I see the fear even here in other DUers and it is really angering that these guys can frighten and worry so many people. So damn cavalier.
I hope they will not get away with much more than oodles of grift and breaking of stuff that can be reversed once the public has had enough..yeah merely that.
