I spent the day with Curtis Yarvin and the "dissident right" at a garden party in Surrey and wrote quite a few words about it.

"Exploiting regulatory loopholes and bypassing national controls is the name of the game" with crypto.

"Crypto has never been about innovation, but about getting away with things you would not otherwise be able to."

Nice to hear someone else say it! @jemima.bsky.social

Crypto skulduggery isn’t a bug, it’s the whole point

The Godfather of the Dark Enlightenment / JD Vance whisperer Curtis Yarvin is back to thinking that Trump 2.0 is a failure and is considering fleeing America in the near future. I wonder where he'll head 🥴 graymirror.substack.com/p/you-cant-h...

And here is the most striking one - discrimination in favour of (zero) or against (ten) white British people. Look at Reform voters. Absolutely clustering around SEVEN on this scale. Tories are on five and everyone else five or lower. So, here at least is something all Reform voters agree on. 11/n

"Grandeur of democracy" is an interesting phrase... I kind of like it but I don't think democracy necessarily has to be quite so chaotic does it? Or perhaps not quite so unwilling to find some unity while still allowing for a range of different views?

“Do you really cast bad spells on people?” I ask Aspinall. “Yes, of course I do. I call it justice,” she replies sassily. “Like, if someone kidnapped, raped and killed my sister, I’d not only hex them. I’d hex their whole family under a dark moon. Fuck. That. Shit.”

Thanks for @jemima.bsky.social.

Was in the New Yorker profile - for some reason Yarvin and Glasman were having their profile painted together!?

Curtis Yarvin’s Plot Against America

The reactionary blogger’s call for a monarch to rule the country once seemed like a joke. Now the right is ready to bend the knee.

Lord Glasman, who Curtis Yarvin told me was a "charming fellow", is now calling Yarvin a "wanker" in the Byline Times and disputing Yarvin's claim that they hung out the night before I met him in June bylinetimes.com/2025/09/25/b...

I very much doubt you'll see a pic that goes as hard as this all day (unless the Rapture does actually happen)

Great piece too, all my best to the Sisters of the Sanitary Cloth 😘
