>People focus on which faction the prince comes from. If it matters, you are no prince. The prince’s color is gray, not red or blue—transcending monkey politics.

>Nor are you afraid of conflict—you laugh at it. Your views are ruthless, impartial, and utterly cynical. Your default opinion is that each side is normally right about the other, the normal basis for a sound peace is mutual humility and historical oblivion, and the normal line of a sound peace is the line of truce, status quo or uti possidetis. And while not everything is normal, you always start out expecting it to be normal.

>Like George Washington himself, the powder-wigged ramrod with the wooden teeth, you are a general of no faction. You are a nihilist: you think ex nihilo, you see ex nihilo, you build ex nihilo—from nothing, from scratch, on a clean slate, from first principles. The old conflicts were structural consequences of the old regime and vanish with it.

He is a gatekeeping jew whose shtick has always been "I'm sooo edgy more than everyone else but still not a nazi teehee" if you want to see what happens when these grifters confront an actual intellectual just see his interview with Borzoi where he literally admits that his strategy to get women is to never engage (imagine what his strategy to acquire power must be)

Maybe not which faction, but the character of the prince certainly matters, and general character might differ a lot between factions.

He's right in the sense that neither team red or team blue have a grip on reality or solutions to the problems that face us, but wrong in the sense that the red team is far more receptive to the kind of change he's proposing than the blue team.

Moldbug endorsed Biden, not that it matters since the president is more or less irrelevant in the end.

He endorsed him because he sees the removal of Trump as removing a heel for the Cathedral which will reduce the energy level of its supporters, not because he thinks Biden will become the Caesar Moldbug is looking for.
