In reply to the discussion: Panicked Curtis Yarvin--JD Vance guru--Plans to Flee USA (He sees the entire Trump experiment in fascism as failing) [View all]eppur_se_muova
(40,309 posts)40. It's failing because its true mission is based on boneheadedly simple-minded thinking which utterly ignores reality.
Their approach to gov't has never worked well for any but a tiny minority, which makes it utterly unsustainable. The rest of us are NOT GOING TO PUT UP WITH IT.
Millions of people have suffered because some simple-minded "solution" was forced on them by a gov't with the power to do so. Royalists, Confederates, Communists, Leninists, Stalinists, Maoists, Khmer Rouge, Peronists, White nationalists, Francoists, Orbanists, Putinists, etc. etc. ad nauseum have all bled their countrymen just about dry before fading into history. Enough of people dying for misbegotten theories pushed by "strongmen" !

Curtis Yarvin is a "thinker" to the same degree that I am an Olympic decathelete . . .

In a sane world, he would have a mimeographed newsletter with a subscription list in the high dozens

Vance is guided not just by the insanity of Yarvin, but by Posobiec's dystopian vision of fascism saving the world.

Oh my, I hadn't noticed that milestone. And in about 7 weeks, it will be 21 years on DU!

I should post Ariella Elm here too. The preamble to her 10/6 wins aligns with "Keep these brave souls in mind"

I would bet the farm that tRumps fail will be to start a civil war that he and his fellow fascists can't win

"It is failing because its true mission, which neither it nor (still less) its supporters understand..."
