For the unaware:
> Curtis Guy Yarvin (born 1973), also known by the pen name Mencius Moldbug, is an American far-right political blogger and software developer. He is known, along with accelerationist philosopher Nick Land, for founding the anti-egalitarian and anti-democratic philosophical movement known as the Dark Enlightenment or neo-reactionary movement (NRx).

- lovich 9mo agoOh so they’re a cryptofascist, for both senses of the word crypto
- maleldil 9mo agoIf one of those meanings is "one who hides their support for fascism", it doesn't apply, as they've made public displays of support. It's just that most people know them for their technical accomplishments without doing further research on who they are. This is understandable, hence my warning.
- lovich 9mo agoEveryone in the IDW or who followed Mencius moldbug always told normies they weren’t fascist and that you just called them Nazis because you disagreed with them until the current day when they are now more open about being in what they consider a post Constitutional era. That’s why they were called cryptofascists even though I agree they’ve dropped the hidden part since they feel they have the power to get away with it.

- maleldil 9mo agoDon't think about the "financial advice" in isolation. Think of the incentives. Why did they write this post?
