The Case Against Democracy - Curtis Yarv...

TRIGGERNOMETRY
About this episode
Curtis Yarvin, also known by the pen name Mencius Moldbug, is an American blogger. He is known, along with philosopher Nick Land, for founding the anti-egalitarian and anti-democratic philosophical movement known as the Dark Enlightenment or neoreactionary movement (NRx). He argues that American democracy is a failed experiment which should be replaced by an accountable monarchy, similar to the governance structure of corporations.
