It is just wild to me that anyone pays attention to Curtis Yarvin as an "intellectual". They guy is constantly making the same idiotic appeal to history that feudalism, being more abundant in the historical record, is our "natural state" and therefore preferable to democracy.
No, dude.
The majority of human existence has been tribal, with life expectancy below age fifty, crazy high child mortality rates, no written language, scarcity of food and resources... *that* is our "natural state"...

And he peddles this idea that monarchies are more "effective" -- that they *get things done*. Okay, so... let's go back and look at Europe 1200 years ago. There's a different king every 200 miles in northern Europe. How many of those dozens of "great men" are getting things done and improving the lives of their people? Charlemagne, a "great man" unified a big chunk of the continent by force... then died, left a power vacuum, and it all fell apart. And that's ...natural? Good?

dipshits with these opinions wear eyeglasses 100% of the time and I think that's hilarious I mean, so do I, but it's not contrary to my fundamental worldview
