I'm so done listening to #CurtisYarvin, aka #MenciusMoldbug. (Last time: #Triggernometry #podcast.) Don't let me ever read or hear from him again.
I've given him enough opportunities already to defend his views and proposals, but specific ideas and policy proposals he has zero. There's a limit to how much hand-waving one can do and historical anecdotes one can point to before coming back down to earth and to actual reforms.
It's not that he's sometimes dog-whistling, it's that dog-whistling is all he does, devoid of any content.
Stop slipping away, stick your neck out, and answer direct questions. Here's a good heuristic for him and his followers: if straight answers to specific issues sound absurd or alarming (dictatorship? racial hierarchies? state surveillance? empire?), there's a non-negligible probability that your ideas are wrong.
@tripu I don't like his proposals either. I think he has none except monarchy. There was a very interesting YouTube channel that explained his ideas without the verbosity. It's gone now, but I could found this video reposted:

I think Moldbug's criticism of democracy is misplaced and it actually applies to large countries/bureaucracies, whether they're a democracy or a monarchy. Small monarchies can work fine, but so do small democracies. Diseconomies of scale.
