We can't understate this: Curtis Yarvin is "the brain of Peter Thiel" in exactly the way that Aleksandr Dugin is "the brain of Vladimir Putin." Indeed, the two are thoroughly synched. If you buy JD Vance, Thiel's sock puppet, this is what you get.
Curtis Yarvin, JD Vance’s friend & ideological influence, ended 2025 by claiming “only Hitler spoke the truth” about “too many subjects” & “Hitler was a genius.”
Extremism isn’t fringe on the right. Once marginal online extremists like Yarvin are influential at the highest levels of government.

There is a successful Peace Plan:
1. Impeach the Orange King.
2. Give Ukraine the jets and weapons they need.
3. Cheer as the brave Ukrainian Military wipes the stench of Putin’s Russia from their country.

In 2021, Jared Kushner claimed he was leaving politics. Instead, armed with billions in funding from Middle East autocrats, he is brokering “peace” deals for Trump that double as real estate ventures and positioning himself at the center of Trump's media ambitions. None of it is an accident.

Jared Kushner is so back, and what he's up to should concern us all.
