Here's what you are supporting, Robson:
"That's the point. Thiel and Vance " along with Elon Musk, Steve Bannon, Blake Masters, tech entrepreneur David Sacks, Palantir co-founder Joe Lonsdale, Palantir adviser Jacob Helberg, Sequoia Capital's Doug Leone, blogger Curtis Yarvin, and others in the anti-democracy movement "
- believe that the only way true libertarians can win in the US is for a Caesar-like figure to wrest power from the US establishment and install a monarchical regime, run like a startup.
Yarvin comes as close as anyone as being the intellectual godfather of the anti-democracy movement.
He has written that real political power in the United States is held by a liberal amalgam of universities and the mainstream press, whose commitment to equality and justice is eroding social order.
In Yarvin's view, democratic governments are inefficient and wasteful;
they should be replaced with sovereign joint-stock corporations whose major "shareholders" select an executive with total power, who serves at their pleasure.
Yarvin refers to the city-state of Singapore as an example of a successful authoritarian regime.
How to achieve Yarvin's vision?
The first step, as Vance offered in a 2021 podcast, is to replace "every single midlevel bureaucrat, every civil servant in the administrative state ... with our people.
And when the courts stop you, stand before the country, and say" " as did Andrew Jackson " that "the chief justice has made his ruling. Now let him enforce it."
Vance has been anointed by Thiel and the rest of the anti-democracy movement as the post-Trump president, tasked with replacing the US establishment with an authoritarian regime.
Make no mistake: the foundation for the US's first anti-democracy president is being laid right now."
