He wanted Nazi Germany with Milton Friedman, he'll get Argentina without a USA to bail it out.

Hurling ordure at the TREACLES, especially those closely related to LessWrong.
AI-Industrial-Complex grift is fine as long as it sufficiently relates to the AI doom from the TREACLES. (Though TechTakes may be more suitable.)
This is sneer club, not debate club. Unless it's amusing debate.
[Especially don't debate the race scientists, if any sneak in - we ban and delete them as unsuitable for the server.]

Yarvin doesn’t think Trump has the guts to pull off a full fascist nightmare.
It physically pains me to say this, but I think Yarvin is correct here. What IS getting done is bad enough, but he's right that you can't really half-ass a hostile takeover, which is what Trump et al seem to be doing. Yes, they're fucking the US systems up, badly, but they're leaving the structures too intact. They're still bothering with things like court cases and gerrymandering. You don't bother with gerrymandering if you're not planning on still having elections, yknow?
I also think Yarvin is correct that Trump and crew will ultimately fail because of it. That's probably cold comfort to the people who have already lost loved ones, or who are dying or going to die because of this administration (and as a trans person myself, I may well be among that number), but it's not nothing.
I don't think getting rid of elections would work. Dictatorships do not rely on election rigging alone. That's just interventionist propaganda (barge in, set up elections, presto, democracy).
Competent dictators don't act anything like Trump. Once in power they try to obtain support of as wide of a section of the population as possible. There's no freedom of speech in a dictatorship; the dictator is giving prepared speeches, designed to bolster his support, to unify the nation, etc, not just having fun gloating at half the nation's expense.
If he actually tries to maintain power despite his relative unpopularity, the consequences will be utterly disastrous.
@EponymousBosh @AllNewTypeFace Estoy de acuerdo. Sigo pensando que todo el caos que genera es una cortina de humo mientras roban cantidades inmensas de dólares. Cuanto más denso el humo más fácil que nadie preste mucha atención a su verdadero propósito. Un EEUU realmente fascista les estorbaria mucho para disfrutar del botín. Otra cosa son los dementes que ha puesto a dirigir el país mientras él hace el payaso para distraernos. Igual alguno sí que da una sorpresa.
Amazing how he looks like an annoying Seinfeld extra in that picture.
He looks like he played Micheal Bolton in Office Space.
Damn, can't unsee. Indeed.
He def is the type to lock his door when a poc/poor person walks up to his car.
@Soyweiser @sneerclub It struck me more as a SNL character that didn't really work out. Definitely a face for comedy...
He’s got a brain for silent monastic life too, a man of many talents
Curtis Yarvin goes to prison. He has two cellmates. He asks them why they're there. "I helped Trump destroy the country", one of them replies. "Well I'm here because Trump didn't destroy the country", Yarvin retorts. They turn to the third man, who says: "I am Donald Trump."
Karl Radek jumpscare
I hope Yarvin hangs someday. Ideally not by vigilantes
@captainlezbian @sneerclub it would be unsurprising if he were to have an autoerotic asphyxiation mishap.
Yeah but the jury would make that really weird
we have an obligation not to inflict him on anyone else
Or you could send him to Australia, as payback for Murdoch.
Anybody want to pitch in to get him a basic e-bike and a solar charge setup? He could probably fund his egress the rest of the way by posting a travelogue, that might turn into some choice content around the time he hits El Paso
