  Project 2025 and Curtis Yarvin have direct ties to 4chan as well. Maybe not the horse you wanna hitch to.

    Who the fuck is Curtis Yarvin? And what the shit does P25 have to do with 4Chan?

      He’s the philosopher of choice for people like Peter Thiel and JD Vance. He advocates for moving to a neofeudalist system, arguing that democracy is a failed project. Beyond this, he holds some truly repugnant views that are woven throughout his ideology

        As an ancap whose views have been called repugnant too, I say you could be more specific and say he’s racist, misogynist and mixes up social prowess, intelligence and wisdom, while these are three different things.

        US representative democracy may be a failed system, but it was designed in the 18th century when travel and long range communications was time consuming. Needs a major revamp for the digital world, and we are getting to the point where that could be possible (technology, at least).

      Those are great questions to start with on your search engine of choice! If you’re more of an audio person, I find this podcast to be a great overview.

    Direct ties? They’ve trip-fagged once on it or something?

  While Project Chanology has roots to 4chan, it was more of a collaborative effort between various other “chan” boards, the SomethingAwful forums, and various other pre-reddit forums, under the Anonymous banner. Also, about a few months into those protests, a lot of the 4chan kids specifically thought it was becoming cringe and bounced.
