The entire "free speech on campus" moral panic was manufactured to blackmail us into making space in intellectual life for bigots and charlatans who couldn't get there on their own merits. Its a DEI scheme for fascism. Congratulations to everyone who took it at face value.

“Following his lecture, Yarvin will debate the legendary British historian David Starkey on history and the future of conservatism.” Everything about this is so cursed. Masks off at the University of Oxford.

Curtis Yarvin & David Starkey - The End of the End of History
By Oakeshott (formerly Scruton)
Lectures
Follow
The second Oakeshott Lecture of 2025 - with perennially viral tech philosopher Curtis Yarvin and eminent historian David Starkey

In the second Oakeshott (formerly Scruton) Lecture, Curtis Yarvin will address the End of the End of History in the Post-Cold War Era.

A former software developer, Curtis Yarvin came to international prominence under the pen-name Mencius Moldbug as a critic of contemporary democracy. An avid promoter of technocracy and critic of ‘the Cathedral’, Yarvin has become an influential figure on the American right - a reliably controversial voice and a confidante of JD Vance and Peter Thiel.

Following his lecture, Yarvin will debate the legendary British historian David Starkey on history and the future of conservatism.

sums it up. headlines on crowd sizes and the feeling that maybe something happens (somewhere else) aren’t action, and getting a bunch of people to show up to a party for nothing isn’t organizing.

find your people and build something real.

Chuck Dixon created Bane. I don't bring this up to argue that creating that character somehow negates his current behavior, but to talk about a problem very prevalent in comics. And that is bigoted people making bank off the very marginalized groups they later demonize and discredit.

Saw these images posted on social media, from the recent “No Kings” protest in the US, where blue maga liberals were holding signs like these.

It perfectly sums up the liberal worldview: they don’t hate fascism. They just hate when the wrong people are in charge of it.

A protester in Times Square, New York City, holds a large cardboard sign reading, “OUR FOUNDING FATHERS WERE NOT FASCISTS!” The protester faces away from the camera toward a dense crowd surrounded by digital billboards and skyscrapers. The sign implies faith in the moral purity of America’s colonial founders, overlooking their role as slave owners, capitalists, and imperialist genocidal maniacs who genocided Native Americans, stole their lands, broke treaties with them, while enslaving Africans. The image was posted on social media as part of the “#NoKings” protest against trump by blue maga genocidal democrats and liberals.

A photo from a protest showing a crowd of mostly middle-aged people holding signs. One large cardboard sign reads, “If Kamala were president, we’d all be at BRUNCH.” A small American flag sticks out from behind the sign. The image was posted with the hashtag “#NoKings.” The scene reflects blue maga genocidal democrat and liberal protest culture in the United States, where participants express nostalgia for “normal” capitalist, white supremacist, and imperialist politics under blue maga genocidal democrat and liberal leadership rather than demanding systemic change.
