Curtis Yarvin - "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds"

"There are no facts, only interpretations" - Friedrich Nietzsche

Baldassare Tommaso Peruzzi, Atlas

I see plenty of readers here also read Yarvin, so let me be clear, speaking as a former fanboy. By the way, every time I enthusiastically shared Yarvin’s writings there were always no reaction because no one can read the tense prose unless you are a devotee of the religion. It is simply unreadable. But let me be more specific.

1. We grew up in the CCCP, so how can we take seriously all the newcomers to the right? Yarvin turned to right at the time of the fellow mischling John Kerry's candidacy. This is sooner than all the newcomers in this election cycle but still very recent. A person who grew up in religion can’t fully trust the BT, a proselyte, for a good reason.

2. Speaking of Russia. Why are people ashamed to say that they had a Nazi grandparent, but proudly proclaim their grandfather was a communist? At the time of Stalin, supporting him was no less abhorrent. Stop mentioning it with pride! This goes to Eric Weinstein as well¹. This is indeed “deplorable”! The reason US is still a communist country is that there was no true reckoning with the American communists, even Curtis would agree with that.

3. I have an issue with autistic style of thinking and writing. Insert a name here.

4. Speaking of writing, can the man write a post or anything without mentioning FDR’s First Inaugural?

5. When Yarvin said, perhaps in jest, 4 years ago, that it was a good idea to vote for Biden, did he foresee the 4-year rule of DEI, lawfare, the bullet that came an inch from catastrophe? Some people live in the real world, not in Urbit. And please keep in mind the War between Russia and Ukraine, the October 7th pogrom, the devastation, etc. Elections have consequences. People die in wars.

6. The same goes for this election. Not supporting Trump is simply the line between good and evil, Eric Weinstein. I don’t know if Trump can save America (and the world), but I do know that not giving it a chance is evil. I don't care what theories about grand monarchy you have. The difference between those theories and actual events is like the difference between Urbit and Elon sending rockets to Mars. Do you get the picture?

7. I have to say it, Jews, even half Jews, have a tendency for grand theories that not always correlate to actualities. It’s the trade. But by the way, no matter how often Yarvin calls himself a Jew, his tolerance and even praise for Hitler and Stalin is noxious, flippant shit. This goes for the cloud of neo-Nazi hangers on.²

8. Speaking of Nazis, I am not the only one who shares readers with Yarvin. The same people who read Yarvin also read Martyr Made and the rest of the fascist antisemites. Substack is a good tool to trace that.

9. Since I have the background. I don’t trust the intentionally challenging, repetitive texts that take a devotion to read.

10. Bottom line, Yarvin’s ultimate monarchical ideal is Putin’s Russia and communist China. “Perfectly managed” contries. He is not even embarrassed to say it.

1. Both Eric and Curtis like to proclaim that their Jewish grandfathers were communists, both popular and influential thinkers, both self-proclaimed spergs and both offer terrible, fatal political advice. Eric pretends Curtis doesn’t exist, though.

2. I tried to argue against the Wikipedia entry myself.
