Umm, wow. OK, that has just got to win the “Dumbest Thing I’ve Read (at least) This Week” award. Holy shit, this is a guy that some idiots actually listen to?

Tell selfish assholes that actually they’re the greatest and all the inferiors should be bowing at their feet while they stomp on them, and you will get called a philosopher by them. It’s not like anyone was actually captivated by Ayn Rand’s brilliant reasoning and storytelling either.

True, it is all just an attempt to proclaim selfishness as the highest virtue.

It’s funny, I read about Yarvin years ago, from people who knew him personally when he transformed (in their telling) from entertaining goof to something malevolent, and I assumed he was just a crank. Then, when it became clear that there were people who actually took him seriously (the TESCREAL gang and then Vance, etc.), I thought that perhaps he wasn’t just a crank, but someone who had read history and political philosophy and twisted them into something monstrous but compelling. But now that I actually read his words, I realize he is just a crank. I guess when one lives in a kakistocracy, actual political philosophers get replaced by internet cranks whose monstrous visions for an anti-democratic future match up with those in power.

In the 2019 mini-series “Years and Years”, they did a decent job showing that yes, the people involved in an authoritarian dystopia don’t need to be smart. In fact, these systems can be very attractive to people who wouldn’t do well in an honest, fair, and open competition.
And it seems the fuckers find each other.
