Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Considering Curtis Yarvin and Nick Land have been peddling this stuff for fifteen fucking years maybe it's reasonable to understand that we're probably already too late to stop it without mass mobilization of a general strike.
Seriously, I first heard about these chucklefucks in 2010, when a friend who had just finish his Critical Theory masters told me about some jackass calling himself Mencius Moldbug.
Never too late to stop fascism. Too late to stop it without a lot of literal blood, sweat, and tears? Oh yeah.
I have all three of those!
That's a damned if you do, damned if you don't kind of standard.
The situation is, when assessed honestly, really fucking bad. If they present it as being better than it is, they're sugar coating the reality. If they present it as bad as it is then according to you they're spreading doom and gloom. How are they supposed to win this?
I want off mister musks wild ride.
This is important to document.
Behind The Bastards had a series on Curtis Yarvin after the Vance nomination, where they explained RAGE.
At the time, it wasn’t clear how seriously anyone took this (other than Thiel, who’s all-in), and it seemed likely that Yarvin would be second fiddle to Project 2025.
Things have changed. I imagine BTB will have an update soon.
Wow just wow, it looks like we are just playthings for the ultra-wealthy at this point. I have a family so this is not a game to me.
Damn I thought they were bringing back my favorite Canadian cgi TV show about computing and playing video games to survive.
I’ve got bad news for you on that front. Netflix did it, and it’s horrible.
Some good news is there is a team of documentarians who have acquired the original tapes and are trying to re-release them in MUCH higher quality. It looks amazing. CBC article.
Only one episode so far. 😭
I’ve been periodically checking in on Reboot reboots for basically my whole life, and I’ve only been disappointed so far.
I just had to look it up. Live action??? Ewww...
I highly recommend this website to anyone wanting to do a deeper dive on these Venture Capital Extremists and their plans:
