The current administration is not merely racists, autocratic, and hell bent on insuring all wealth is held by the oligarch class,

it is also engaged in the most venal, short-sighted, and destructive assault on the basic functions of governance and civil society I can imagine.

I don't care what one's view is on the appropriate scale and role of federal governance, some operations are best and only accomplished at that level,

and this short of bullshit is not just a disservice to, it is an attack on the citizenry.

Destroying federal governance seems on point for people who read Yarvin and want to rule feudal micro-states as techno-kings.

Wow, that's possibly the bleakest set of opinions I've ever seen detailed.

I can't help but think that this is typical self-loathing and ensuing self-destruction turned towards society itself. I need to read his actual writing, though. I'm sure there's also some element of actively pandering towards people in power desperate to justify their hold through some ideology.

I can outbleak that! In 2 paragraphs!

Although it seems more robust in the long term*, anti-intellectualism probably has a cliff of adaptivity, just like academia, ideology, or indeed any collection of values
