So, the more I think about this dark enlightenment stuff, it almost sounds like fantasy. And then it hit me. Gee, a bunch of wealthy people having anti democratic ideals, massive organizations that are everywhere, yet no one has ever heard of them, and suddenly they're committing fantastical coups of the US government. Honestly? It almost sounds like a James Bond plot. ya know, like SPECTRE or something? Yeah.
It's freaking weird, man. Like, I can't say I never heard of the dark enlightenment before now, but I can't say I ever took them seriously. I mean, who has? It's just a bunch of no lifers coming up with weird theories of governance on the internet (like I'm the one to talk, right). But then you got billionaires on board with this, including Elon Musk, who is front and center in the second Trump administration, and Peter Thiel, who is less front and center but associated with it. And apparently JD Vance apparently got his ideas from it.
And yeah. It's bizarre. Like, you would think this is weird 4chan crap, like this weird melding of fascism and anarcho capitalism, which despite sounding self contradictory, actually makes perfect sense, because as I've stated from the get go, the two outcomes are either anarchy with roving gangs of bandits taking over everything, or you just end up with corporations running everything. i doubt ancaps would be for the former in practice, so in reality, you get the latter.
And of course, the people would never vote for such ideologies themselves willingly, so it's kept back, but also kinda in plain sight the whole time, but no one takes it seriously, and suddenly, BOOM we get a coup.
I knew trump would be bad, I mean I told you guys that since 2021, this guy has given me Hitler vibes. Like, this is bad news. The dude tried to overthrow the government once, and if we let him in, he's trying again, but yeah. Now he has this weird internet meme of an organization behind him with this weird alt right ideology that no one's ever heard of behind him, and yeah, this is bad.
Of course, I don't think this is all JUST like Curtis Yarvin and his stuff. We got the christian nationalists who im far more familiar with, having been exposed to that as a teenager through Christian school, and we got the outright white nationalists. And now all of these forces are converging in the republican party and uh...yeah, this is bad. This could be THE realignment, and this is just about the worst one possible. Like we're getting all the bad stuff at once.
I mean, if I went back in time, to when Yarvin was "making a new political ideology in his garage", and pushed this as like a fictional plot, no one would believe me. it sounds completely and utterly insane. But this is what happens when you mix basically christian nationalism, fascism, anarcho capitalism, and edgy 4chan vibes. It's crazy. What the heck is this timeline?
