What should frighten us all is that this is not common knowledge. This explicitly anti-life ideology is being successfully enacted in the US right now, and without unified pushback it will spread.
ICYMI: how Trump's actions map perfectly onto the blueprint written by white supremacist Curtis Yarvin, Peter Thiel's pet sophist, who has called for a return to monarchy. Yarvin and Nick Land dream of a "post-human" future - and they're well on the way to creating one.
Friday essay: Trump’s reign fits Curtis Yarvin’s blueprint of a CEO-led American monarchy. What is technological fascism?
The Washington Post called Curtis Yarvin’s blog ‘required reading for the extremely online right’. He advocates for the end of democracy – and a governing monarch.

Listen to this. He mentioned the forbidden word in the UK: BREXIT. Yet UK politicians are trying to sweep it all under the carpet causing dust mites to develop and spread all over the house resulting into allergies, asthma, eczema for Brits. There's a cure though: Dump it and rejoin the EU.

They really, really need to pin this on Farage. When you think of the 'big beasts' of Brexit bollocks, there's not really anyone else left in the game so it should be quite easy.
YouGov find just 30% of people think we were right to leave the EU. The lowest number yet.
Just 10% of 18-24 year olds think it was the right decision.
