Leeja Miller examines 'The Ideology Behind The End Of Democracy'

Rachel Maddow examines Curtis Yarvin, one of JD Vance's influences was one of my best shares on Bluesky last year, so I'm examining Curtis "Mencius Moldbug" Yarvin again by sharing Leeja Miller examining The Ideology Behind The End Of Democracy.

JD Vance, Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, and many other operatives in the Trump administration are all united in their belief in the ideological teachings known as Neo-Reactionism, popularized by fringe blogger-turned Silicon Valley darling Curtis Yarvin. His pseudo-intellectual ravings have been adopted by some of the most powerful people on the planet and could lead to the downfall of democracy in the United States.

Like RFK Jr., I've decided to focus on Yarvin/Moldbug as a source of the terrible ideas being implemented by this administration. He seems to be replacing Ayn Rand and Objectivism as the person and philosophy animating the Right. He also seems to be one of the original people behind the attack on educated professionals I mocked in I ask The Archdruid and his readers 'Can you show us on the doll exactly where the educated professionals hurt you?' A Festivus airing of grievances. That makes his ideas personal to me, as I'm an educated professional.

By the way, Miller mentioning Nick Land moving into a Satanist's house got my attention. I suspected he moved into Aleister Crowley's old home; that's exactly what happened. Reality is stranger than fiction.

I expect to say more about Moldbug. In the meantime, stay tuned for the Sunday entertainment feature, which will be another post worth sharing in June.
