Even at this late stage, the combination of such an extreme lack of self-awareness and so much self-pity all wrapped up in a single person is just astonishing.

Yarvin seems shocked that Musk (with zero government experience except for a reliance on government contracts) is doing such a poor job. He also seems chagrined at Trump's specific actions, like tariffs, which are throwing markets into chaos. In political terms, the whole thing is a total disaster. By early 2025, millions of Americans are marching in streets and even Republican voters are showing up at town halls to express seething anger.

Yarvin seems to have come to a stark realization: If Musk/Trump fail to destroy the democratic system, extreme anti-government pseudo-intellectuals may face a bleak future. He urgently warns them against half-assing the revolution – and reveals his own fear of what might happen when the pendulum swings in the other direction:

But in the end, it is the road toward winding up in the foam yourself—probably with me, for all my troubles. (This is what usually happens to right-wing intellectuals, actually.)

Nobody in #Canada seems to mind that the consumer #CarbonTax was scrapped without a decision by #parliament. You see, Canada is a #monarchy. The #Crown has to approve all acts, and it can withdraw approval, too. While it's difficult to make new acts without parliament, it's easy to scrap them. Canadians have seen this before.

In this case, the Crown (Her Excellency the Governor General in Council) simply changed the Regulation under the Act and set the tax rates at zero. The Act remains. #law

@ErikJonker I think what this shows is that #US constitutional checks and balances potentially are not sufficient. The question then becomes how should they be adjusted to be better, while still retaining the ability to make decisive action in a crisis? Are there other models which have worked better?

Could we conclude that actually a constitutional #monarchy might offer a better balance? Ie. one where Head of State interferes in a soft way, and also in a crisis.

“Musk’s DOGE Is Inspired by Pro-Kremlin Monarchists and 1930s Technofascism”

by Nafeez Ahmed in Byline Supplement on Substack

“Top DOGE operative is linked to a Russian American network of anti-West pro-Kremlin monarchists, inspired by the 1930s counter-democracy ‘Technocracy’ movement tied to Musk’s grandfather”
