Once a meme, in a distant land called internet, a person named Curtis Yarwin wrote 120,000 words, who were calling for the end of democracy. Most people used to laugh. But billionaires do not laugh – those funds. And now, the person who once described the undercase of San Francisco as potential biodiesel is being taken seriously by those who carry nuclear briefcase. Yarwin -Formally Menusius Moldbug, currently disgruntled right is the “dark alph” – not just an adelord with a blog. He is a philosopher of Silicon Autocracy. A bureaucracy-free America’s JD Vance’s wet dreams, from sweet knots to Peter Theal to impress the wet dreams, Yarwin turned red.If you are still catching, then there are 10 things that you have to know before the Crown Land on his head.
1. Blogger who will be king
Yarwin’s empire began with a blog – and a manifesto longer than war and peace.Back in 2008, when Obama still symbolized hope and change, Yarwin was quietly uploading the screw under the aka Mencius Moldbag. His pièce de réstance? An open letter for open-minded progressives-Grenade, a 120,000-word, was thrown into a cathedral of liberal consensus. Yarwin argued that democracy was a bug, not a feature; American Revolution is a tragic mistake; And that we would be better under a corporate monarchy. His ideal ruler? Not a philosopher-Raja of Plato, but a startup broer with Nukes and a board of directors.
2. Cathedral should be burnt
The biggest idea of Yarwin is that liberalism is a religion – and Harvard is its Vatican.According to him, the US is not ruled by elected officials. It is ruled by “The Cathedral” – the unholy alliance of media, academics and bureaucracy. Not through the conspiracy, but through soft consent. NPR, Yale, The Times, and your HR departments are all saying the same thing, because they all worship the same gods: diversity, equality and inclusion. And like any heretime, Yarwin wants the cathedral to be surprised, his priests were deformed, and his temples were converted into data centers.
3. From Neer to new reactionist
He was once a generous coder with a ponytail. Then he took a red bullet- and never came back.Yarwin did not always imagine to end the elections. He started as a leftist tech brow, who sprung acid, read the Faucault, and dated the sex-positive feminists from the Kregalist. His axis for fascist adjacent came to Post-9/11, Post-Iraq, and Post-on-the-head career path. Wired on liberally disillusioned and Hans-Herman Hapy, Yarwin stumbled into dark knowledge-an internet rabbit hole where monarchy, racology, and Austrian economics co-existed peacefully, such as tax hasnovers and startup founders.
4. Urbit: Coding to the state
He did not just want to build a rule – he wanted to do a program. Lellular.Urbit was a dream of Yarvin of a digital feudalism: a decentralized computer network where each user owns a “planet” is ruled by a new coding language that he invented himself. Investors like Andresen Horovitz gave him millions. Did not work. Urbet is now an Independent feud with most stars and galaxies. But the point was not purposeless – it was theology. Like Yarwin’s politics, Urbit is elegant in theory, cultural in practice, and is unusable by someone with a day’s job.
5. Philosopher to billionaires
Peter Theial liked what he saw. So Vance was done. Now Yarwin’s whisper is a public policy.Thiel indicated his approval to Yarwin, Mark Andresen calls him a friend, and JD Vance openly quoted him as an inspiration. For the first time in modern politics, whoever ends the election, is impressing those who can eliminate them. When Dogi -Tram’s Government Efficiency Department- Civil servants resonated Yarwin’s anger scheme: retired all government employees. When Trump called Gaza a “Riviera of the Middle East”, it looked suspicious like a Yarwin Substac Post.
6. Red raspin
He wants to entertain the elite -a “high yogini” at one time.In Yarwin’s Tollkin-Infeed Self-Image, he is not a tyrannical-he is a dark yogini, who has been sent whispering the truth that refuses in the ears of beautiful kulis. The liberals are “highly fantasy dwarfs”, orthodox “hobbies”, and that is the esoteric sage who shows them how to burn the corruption and replace it with a charter city. He does not want Maga rallies. He wants a salon with QR-coded footnots and neoraculation art hoses, which drinks biodynamic wine.
7. He cries on lunch, but imagines the massacre
Their influence is delicate intellectual. His policies will stop Genghis Khan.Yarwin cries. Very. He cries about the homeless of Baltimore, about the future of his children, and sometimes quoting the 18th-century monarchy. But there is a world vision behind tears in which the state should have the power to deport, isolate or digitally seduce the entire population. He once suggested the undercase of San Francisco to avoid “moral stigma of massacre” in solitary VR. Their thoughts are cruelistic architecture for the soul: cold, sharp -edged and antisepically inhuman.
8. The style is substance
Yarwin is not read for truth. He has read for infection.You do not read Yarwin to be convinced. You read her to feel naughty. His prose is filled with baroque, satirical, and Italicized rents that feel like a very smart person who is talking to you at the BDSM dinner party. He does not argue – he is overwhelmed. Like a monopoly DDOS attack on liberal sensitivity. He arms that perhaps, just being, was a mistake, that maybe, just a mistake, to convince the Footnots, Mems, and the 19th -century philosophers to convince a disgruntled zoomor.
9. Darbari
He failed to make a product. So he made a vibe.Urbit flopped. His blog was fasted. “He reads poetry at fascist-fast film festivals. He writes a love letter to Crypto-Lords. He presents democracy for moody paintings, reducing democracy as” lies told by clerics for farmers “and like any good aristocratic class, he never forgets anyone that he has read more books from you.
10. Joking over. He is now in the room.
For some time, the Yarwin performed art. Then the demonstration became a policy.In 2008, he was the Panchline. In 2025, their views resonate from the oval office to the harvard funding withdrawal from the ice holding cells. The plans to bulfge the plans of the Bloitzcrayg of Trump’s Civil Society, the government on the federal agencies of Elon, and the plans of Vance in the courts were all tolerated by their fingers. There is no longer need to make the dissatisfied right a pawn. This is the installation. The dark alph was invited to the tower – and now he is re -arranging the furniture.
Postscript: Nothing philosophical-Raja
Yarwin is a man of thoughts with no working blueprint. Their talent lies in diagnosing rot, not to fix the structure. He mourns the Kings, Cosplace Monarkism, and an ex -girlfriend, mourning liberalism, he will still humiliate the group chat. But give him credit: He saw hunger for totalitarianism long ago from the rest of us. And when the liberals were busy in facts, Yarwin was a vibes-crafting. In the era of aesthetics, the crown is not able to – but most clearly for untoward.
