Curtis Yarvin is not stupid - he knows that the exact men whose letters Caesar burned *murdered him* a few months later. His successor Augustus did not hesitate to proscribe his enemies and died an old Emperor. The lesson is the opposite of the one he's ostensibly teaching.pic.twitter.com/WRBY6zoSLx

Yeah, he's done this several times. I think he might be banking on his tech audience being to lazy to read up on the last generation of the Roman Republic. Which we are definitely not in. We are end of Empire. Totally different epoch. Buckle up!

So… why does he want us to do that, then? He’s not got an ulterior motive, does he?

So he's being a bit Straussian.

I think he really believes it. he supports it pretty well with his 20th century examples East Germany, Soviet Union, Velvet Revolution. For him, I think, the problem is the conflict not the sides. “They’re all our people now.” a failure of security measures not approach

Another possibility is that it’s the least fed-posty way to advocate for the concept of Caesarism. But I tend to believe moldbug when he says he only wants to tell it how he sees it. If only for his own intellectual posterity
