He is an obvious pseud who brags about seeking out obscure literature that no one else has read and using bespoke Latinate terms for his ideology. Also stupid is his idea that people should follow tech billionaires rather than politicians but he doesn't even have the balls to say he believes people should follow him.

>ideology explicitly relies on the suffering of many millions of people for SOME (???) reason

I think the real world historical ideology that most resembles Moldbug is Pinochet’s Chile where the institutions of the state (and literally state property) is basically stripped and sold and everything is heavily deregulated and privatised except for the military and intelligence services that exist to torture and rape labour activists. That’s what living under Moldbug’s fantasy would be like. It would be fucking awful and would only benefit like hundred people while wealth inequality spiraled out of control and standard of living tanked despite a high GDP.

Unless you’re a billionaire like Peter Thiel or Donald Trump or some kiss ass libertarian like Moldbug there’s no reason to be an acolyte of this annoying faggot.

i think the deterioration of monarchy after moldbug´s restoration would increased more rapidly thanks to technology, he argues for a return of feudalism but he fails to acknowledge how the western spirit is more about changing the status quo for the benefit of himself regardless of social or economic status, think back at Napoleon who Moldbug admires and quibbles with

his whole experiment about returning to monarchy is futile because monarchism is a dead tradition, a ghost you can´t revive, same as christianity

i´m not very fond of the anglo-american liberal establishment but it´s a shame this is the best alternative we got at the moment, is it Curtis Yarvin our karl marx? the one who will lead us to extinction? maybe so, in that case, i kneel towards Oswald Sprengler´s dead corpse

Moldbug draws from all types of 19th C. Reactionaries who were all anti-capitalist, downwardly mobile aristocrats, Carlyle, Kameralismus, etc. All the implicitly Feudal-Socialist right-wing people. And from this he concludes:

"I know, we'll just let everything be driven by shareholder value!"

The literal exact thing his supposed source of ideas were against. He's either stupid or clever enough to pervert these things into vectors toward their exact opposites, but whichever one he is, it's a sham. more jewish tricks

Apparently he's fine with society regressing to the point where a sophisticated system like democracy no longer functions. Then he goes, 'dude, what if, like, countries were run like corporations?' and pretends it's deep, ignoring core issues. He's like a bum who had his teeth kicked in and now spends his time fantasizing about the coolest way to eat through a straw.

Low IQ low effort non-refutations. I recommend anyone curious about Moldbug just check out his website https://www.unqualified-reservations.org/ or videos by this guy https://youtu.be/yhLPzKonBBA to get familiar with some of his ideas.
