@Outsideness @thespandrell @LexCorvus The whole Jamal Khashoggi affair contradicts Moldbug's thesis. Cathedral/bluegov would love to see Sauds punished for killing one of their own. However, the fact that nothing happened is evidence that redgov is firmly in control. Thoughts?

... Where NRx 2013 interpreted "Crypto-Calvinism" as tightening religious dictatorship, what we're seeing now looks much more like cascading disintegration driven by religious war.

But is it possible that had this happened in say 2008, the result would have been any different? It's hard to argue yes, thought I would certainly like to hear. If the Cathedral is so easily subordinated to pragmatism, perhaps there's more hope for the US than we all thought.
