The New Feudalism

Surveillance: The Quiet Autocracy
The nation is moving toward autocracy. It does not look like tanks in the street. It looks like code, data contracts, and blurred legal lines. The threat is a vast surveillance system built to track non-citizens, now repurposed to monitor citizens. The goal of democracy is free action without fear of the state. The goal Read More …
On Elitism and the Gated Fantasy of “Truth”
Mr. Curtis Yarvin, in his latest post, positions himself as a lonely prophet who has finally seen the obvious—the false nature of our modern narrative.
