There's no scam too big or too small, from Trumpcoin's open bribery, to Secret Service paying 5x the GSA per diem rate to stay at Trump properties on duty.

In Yarvin's conception, the first step is "RAGE", "Retire All Government Employees". And I don't think it's going out on a limb to draw a parallel with Schedule F.

To be clear, I am very much not a fan of these ideas. I find it very worrying how close their proximity to power will be, particularly given the set of circumstances.

The throwaway is simply that I work in tech and I don't want to have commented negatively on them in a way associated with me.

Thiel and Vance are both friends of Yarvin and followers of his ideas. Musk likely is as well due to his recent orbit into that world. And these ideas are floating around in various elite circles.

In a Yarvinist world, there are no nation states, there is no liberalism, no conservatism, no democracy, no representative forms of government, only corporate fiefdoms.

I would hope that it is concerning to people, the fact that these ideas are now so close to power, smuggled in behind a near perfect mandate. They inherit many sophisticated means of manufacturing consent. And they inherit if not total immunity to legal action, then a total lack of appetite for legal action.

It's all out in the open, I can't be alone in seeing it, right? Am I insane? Are the people who could do something about this paying attention?

The next term will contain several friends and believers in NRx. They have the mandate of the voters. The question is if they will actually try to enact Yarvinism. Essentially a carbon-copy of RAGE is said to be happening, but will it stop there?

In terms of crypto, I imagine their plan would involve the fed. Powell isn't out until 2026, but maybe they have a way around that. Crypto aligned figures like Balaji who have a similar worldview are seemingly starting to try to manufacture consent for a "reorganization" with respect to the fed.

Palantir would more or less be as a part of the "government" if the Curtis Yarvin acolytes were to attempt and succeed at some form of Yarvinism next term. I think likely it would require replacing Powell, and maybe that can be stopped until 2026. But there's still an extremely frightening non-zero chance.
