There's no critique there. Moldbug was explicit about not complaining but building, about not whining but gathering strength and virtue, of recognizing the loser as someone who is unable to hold the mandate of heaven- the hot potato of power.

Maybe a Jacobite update of 1688 makes sense after all. (I'd still go for the House of Musk, though.)

Use the Indian tradition of adoption into a royal house. Musk can be the next Jacobite.
