How a Dangerous Ideology Born From the Libertarian Movement Stands Ready to Seize America
Techno-Libertarian Monarchy written by “Mencius Moldbug” aka Curtis Yarvin. These computer tech nerds think they can code their way out of the world’s problems by returning to Feudalism. Their writings are juvenile fantasies and they are not peer reviewed because they are just ludicrous dystopian garbage.
Yet these people believe themselves savant level genius and have fooled not only the poorly educated but billionaire oligarchs like Peter Thiel. These oligarchs are so insulated by wealth they believe their own press releases just like the MAGA cultists orbiting Trump’s ample rump. They talk of floating cities beyond the reach of international law and creating feudal nations in places like Greenland and Panama where lesser tech nerds will volunteer to be serfs in an economy based on crypto.
This anti-democratic set of beliefs has taken deep root in the minds of deluded oligarchs and more recent technocratic oligarchs. These people who once pulled the strings behind the scenes now openly manipulate politicians with large donations. They have total ownership over the Republican Party and the right-wing media. They tell their therapists they are descended from the pharaohs and kings of old and that the rest of us are not even people but drones to serve their every need.
