Authoritarianism doesn’t only grow from the right, it’s also nurtured in cities when leaders look away, or stay silent, and even use the talking points and tactics of the right wing on local affairs. This is how authoritarianism takes root and grows. Not with a bang, but with a shrug.

How does Curtis Yarvin feel about seeing his short-sighted fascist fantasies come to life under the dumbest authoritarian government in the world? (editorializing). 😬 According to Gil Duran - Not super great. 👀 www.thenerdreich.com/curtis-yarvi...
Conclusion: Yarvin Fears The Foam 
Yarvin sees his desired revolution unraveling under the weight of its own stupidity. He pines for intensified destruction, but it's not clear that will happen -at least not to the extent he considers necessary. So, in creeps the fear 
In early 2025, Yarvin is coming to terms with the towering mediocrity of his ideas. His complaints about the CEO-Dictator system prove exactly why it's inferior to American democracy. Despotism is a dog with no name. Once you let it go, you can't call it back 
Ironically, Yarvin may soon find himself grateful for the very institutions democracy, bureaucracy, and laws ~ he enjoys deriding. Our liberal system. imperfect as it may be, does not stack its citizens in mass graves for having terrible ideas. 
The only foam Yarvin needs to fear is the flecks on the corners of his mouth. May they serve as cruel reminders of the hysteria that led him here.
