Well, it is 2025, and the New York Times has decided to interview Curtis Yarvin, the “Dark Enlightenment” guy who is explicitly against democracy and pro-totalitarian. He’s not implicitly against democracy. He actually says we should do away with it.
I’m not going to bother to click because I’m 90% certain they put no tough questions to him, journalist style. Tell me if I’m wrong, but I bet it’s like when they interviewed Richard Spencer. “Huh, what’s this dapper guy got to say? Maybe he’s more normal than we think!”
