Curtis Yarvin - Dictatorship is Preferrable

[ll74]

Is this guy for real? Well, JDVance apparently thinks so.

The podcast is worth a listen: https://pca.st/episode/b743187d-7f55-49f4-8dff-060e8fb8dba0

My thoughts will be in further comments

The entire premise seems based on the idea that "democracy" = democrat authority and power.

Which lines up with Democrat mentality and action. But is also bullshit.

Fortunately the US is a Constitutional Federal Republic NOT a Democracy.

It's also total fuckin' bullshit.

I haven't yet heard any mention of parties in the discussion, outside of discussing establishment and 47.

Maybe it's later in the 5 mins left of the podcast.

They don't have to mention it explicitly to be operating in the mindset that anything other than (D) power/control isn't democracy.

Most democrats do so all day every day.

Maybe it's later in the 5 mins left of the podcast.

So you've already avoided my point the best you can. Keep the blinders on super tight bud, wouldn't be very progressive if you didn't.

So a few things off the top of my head:

Every argument he makes seems to be top level. Every time he is challenged, he deflects.

The argument is that we need a CEO. He argues for autocracy, basically. This goes against the idea of our Republic spelled out in our Constitution.

Everything seems very transactional, which is great short term, but as autocracies show across the world, not a long standing stability for the people.

I need to listen to this again to have more. He seems like a Stephen Miller type guy.

I haven't avoided your point. You made your point. I disagreed with it, based on the information I have available.

 

[UltraChad]

I haven't avoided your point.

That's all you did in your earlier response.

I disagreed with it, based on the information I have available.

You didn't actually disagree with anything. You were just a smug twat dodging what I said.

 

[ll74]

That's all you did in your earlier response.

I told you what I heard in the podcast didn't align with your comment.

You replied by complaining that I don't share your brain.

You didn't actually disagree with anything. You were just a smug twat dodging what I said.

I disagreed with your perspective

Not until later. Gaslight someone else bud.

 

[ll74]

No you didn't.

Of course

No I didn't.

Your posts are.literally in the thread. Disagreeing with me doesn't mean I'm gaslighting.

Yes but it's your post in question, keep wriggling about bud!!

No you lying about what you said as if I can't read the post right above it is an attempt though.

Do what you need to do. The thread isn't about you or me and I truly don't give a shit about your feels.

I'm not going to spend an hour debating on what you meant or why.

 

[ll74]

Only in the minds of idiots.

A Republic is a democracy. It literally overlaps. If you don't understand that, you're the idiot.

People vote for representatives. That is the democracy part.

The difference between your arguments and mine is that I understand that the Republic is as important as the democracy. (Well, that and your denial that the democracy is part of it)
