There’s a reason why the NYT and How the Lights Get In push Yarvin so hard

Huw C. Davies @huwcdavies.bsky.social · 2d

Reading Thiel, Yarvin, Peterson et al. makes you realise what passes for intellectual iconoclasm these days is all absolute bollocks. Why anyone gives any of these people the time of day let alone credibility is baffling.

Latest Second Opinion is about a well known conservative Canadian psychologist. It's often said that his advice is 'on the face of it' pretty all right. Is it? What are the implications of a bad guy giving good advice? What does socialist relationships advice do?

Every day he's showing up the class vs "idpol" debate for the facile nonsense that it is. One for all the amateur strategists to consider. As he wins by a massive margin.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

"His violence is in his ineptitude, his inability to conform to the burgeoning sense of neoliberal propriety that was to take hold of the entire nation in orbit of those years when he was first conceived... the national unconscious of this infamously repressed isle."
