  “He has defended the institution of slavery, and has suggested that certain races may be more naturally inclined toward servitude than others.[3][18] He has argued that whites have inherently higher IQs than black people,[18] and opposes U.S. civil rights programs.[19]”

    and has suggested that certain races may be more naturally inclined toward servitude

    Never his race though, that’d be silly.

      That limitation actually doesn’t exist. If someone is racist primarily against some group nearby, they may think that some group further from them is better than their own.

      Like some Eastern Europeans thinking they are better than Middle-Eastern people, but that Western Europeans are better than them.

      In case of that guy - he surely feels right at home in USA where all this is reduced to “White”, “Black” and “Asian”. OK, Middle-Eastern people are sometimes “White” and sometimes “Brown”. Jewish people are usually classified as “White”, which is very convenient.

        If you get deep into their subcultures, they get really nitpicky. There are comics where Italians are depicted with the kind of racist features they give to Black people, because some of the people don’t believe that Italians count as white.

    Yarvin has been described as a “neo-reactionary”, “neo-monarchist” and “neo-feudalist”

    Typical libertarian. They have one of the most unhinged subreddits. Their mod Derpballz was rather prolific is showing up to random communities with that BS. Bro is currently ban evasion as Irresolution.

      “neo-monarchist” “hardcore libertarian” I love it when people have coherent views which aren’t self-contradictory.

        There’s a version of libertarianism where if you rightfully (via all-voluntary process) own a piece of land and make a kingdom there, or create a network of agreements leading to monarchy, it’s fine.

        The issue is that you can never own territory fully logically rightfully by even Rothbard, so you only can have a voluntary monarchy without territory cause territory is inherently commonly owned, or owned by nobody. A group of people needing some territory to live on can claim as much as they need, but one person who wants to have a kingdom on it - nah. And a voluntary monarchy is not much different from a BDSM orgy, you can have it right now if everybody agrees.

        So bog standard ancap is incompatible with this, but there are a few kinds of fascists (or “paleo-libertarians”) who have a set of ideas which isn’t.

    Mississippi’s Letter of Secession on slavery:

    Its labor supplies the product which constitutes by far the largest and most important portions of commerce of the earth. These products are peculiar to the climate verging on the tropical regions, and by an imperious law of nature, none but the black race can bear exposure to the tropical sun.
