Weltschmerz à Gogo

Even at this late stage, the combination of such an extreme lack of self-awareness and so much self-pity all wrapped up in a single person is just astonishing.

Yarvin seems shocked that Musk (with zero government experience except for a reliance on government contracts) is doing such a poor job. He also seems chagrined at Trump's specific actions, like tariffs, which are throwing markets into chaos. In political terms, the whole thing is a total disaster. By early 2025, millions of Americans are marching in streets and even Republican voters are showing up at town halls to express seething anger.

Yarvin seems to have come to a stark realization: If Musk/Trump fail to destroy the democratic system, extreme anti-government pseudo-intellectuals may face a bleak future. He urgently warns them against half-assing the revolution – and reveals his own fear of what might happen when the pendulum swings in the other direction:

But in the end, it is the road toward winding up in the foam yourself—probably with me, for all my troubles. (This is what usually happens to right-wing intellectuals, actually.)

“Musk’s DOGE Is Inspired by Pro-Kremlin Monarchists and 1930s Technofascism”

by Nafeez Ahmed in Byline Supplement on Substack

“Top DOGE operative is linked to a Russian American network of anti-West pro-Kremlin monarchists, inspired by the 1930s counter-democracy ‘Technocracy’ movement tied to Musk’s grandfather”

Mark Wyner Won’t Comply :vm:

A widely publicized election poster of the Social Democratic Party of Germany from 1932, with Three Arrows symbol representing resistance against Monarchism, Nazism and Communism, and with the slogan “Against Papen (monarchist candidate), Hitler (Nazi candidate), Thälmann (Communist candidate).”

By Plakatsammlung Karl Fritz.

This may have been the Iron Front inspiration.

Full size and info:

Grainy illustration with text in a hand written font, mostly red with some black and white. There are three stacked fists gripping arrows. Each arrow is pointing to and appears to be stabbing a circle with an icon inside. There’s a crown, a nazi symbol, and a soviet hammer and sickle inside a star. The words are all in German. The title reads “gegen Papen, Hitler, Thälmann.” The subtext reads “liste 2 sozialdemokraten.”

Some insight from us who live in a #monarchy:

When there are two rich men, one of which will nominally be able to veto legislation and order the government about and the other of which can *demonstrably now* veto legislation and order the government+legislature about, what you have is what we monarchy subjects know as a dispute over the throne.

We have a long list of these, starting with William The Conqueror's sons.

No. It's simply not the form of government that people think it to be. To paraphrase what @aral said yesterday:

If an unelected man can singlehandedly veto a bill and stop the legislature from doing further work, by decree, then what you have is a monarchy.

My country is a #monarchy, and there's an unelected mega-rich man who can do those things here.

The day has actually come where the United Statists get to seriously use the #AbolishTheMonarchy hashtag. (-:

Charles III's Coronation cost at least £72 million. Elizabeth II’s funeral cost £162 million. The Royal Finances Report shows we collectively pay £510 million to the monarchy every year. Now it is proposed that taxpayers pay £46 million for a memorial to the former monarch, Elizabeth.
This money is surely better directed to hospitals, schools, housing, fuel allowances ...
If the monarchy is as popular as certain media outlets make out, then let monarchists pay for the memorial. As loyal and devoted subjects, why wouldn't they be able to raise that much?

Elizabeth’s funeral cost £162 million. The Royal Finances Report shows we lose £510 million to the monarchy every year and now we, the taxpayers, are expected to pay £46 million for a memorial to Elizabeth.  Enough is enough. This money is desperately needed for better causes - hospitals, schools, housing and more.
