My whole life, advocating war has been fed to me as “the adult position,” akin to drinking your coffee black or reading the business section of the newspaper. Let’s be very clear — war is the childish nonsense of impulsive destructive idiots playing baby-brained video games with real human lives.

If they have to admit that Kirk’s method of self promotion is, indeed, anti-democratic, then they have to ask if their own are too. And, let’s face it, with the existence of 21st century technology, the mechanisms that gave them status are anti-democratic.

I think the other thing to consider about Klein, and others like him, is they see nothing wrong with Kirk’s use of the theatrics of debate as a means of self promotion. It’s their bread and butter. The content of those theatrics is less important to them than that sense of identification.

I think it’s now pretty clear that Ezra Klein is neither an idiot nor an outright malicious actor, but he is a self interested grifter whose status makes his effect that of a malicious actor. He’s clearly not as stupid as what he’s saying.

Not an exaggeration. If anything, this understates how unhinged the video is. It is, quite literally, five white guys talking about how to free the states from the burdens of the 14th Amendment so churches can effectively be given ownership over "gangbangers in Baltimore."
At around the 22-25 minute marks, Yarvin, JD Vance’s court philosopher, proposes a system where black people would be made wards of religious ministers, who could force them to work as indentured servants and require them to submit to 24/7 “air-tag” monitoring.
It's amusing to observe Curtis Yarvin in this setting. He seems quite in love with the sound of his own voice. And most of his utterances are the sort of banalities you'd expect of a recent autodidact—wowed by the most superficial connections, and lacking deeper contextual knowledge.
