Techno libertarians, white nationalists and JD Vance are all linked to a movement known as the 'New Right.' What is this movement and how has it influenced the Republican candidate for vice president?

YARVIN: There’s just no world in which you can do this without electing a president who says, I am the chief executive of the executive branch. I am going to reinvent the executive branch and the way I’m going to do it is simply by working around the one we have and creating a new one which has all the power. As for the people we have, they’ll be retired.

VANCE: There’s this guy, Curtis Yarvin. Who’s written about some of these things. A lot of concerns that said we should deconstruct the administrative state. We should basically eliminate the administrative state. And I’m sympathetic to that project. But another option is that we should just seize the administrative state for our own purposes.

I think that what Trump should do, like if I was giving him one piece of advice, fire every single mid-level bureaucrat, every civil servant in the administrative state, replace them with our people. And then when the courts stop you, stand before the country, like Andrew Jackson did, and say the Chief Justice has made his ruling, now let him enforce it.

    This is some crazy ass shit, please read about it. If you put “Network State” in a search engine, they’re not hiding that they want to take over the country and are practicing with small countries outside the US.

    Their view of politics is very simple and very chilling, and should be opposed by everyone.

    It’s nothing more than “the majority of people do not support our goals, therefore we must destroy democracy so that they cannot stop us.”

    It doesn’t matter in the slightest what their specific goals are - everyone should collectively stand against anyone who takes that position.

      The part that does matter is that they want it to be only wealthy people and run it like an HOA that they’re the president of. It’s fucking scary.

    Fascists and other conservatives are eternally “new,” because their reputation is just shit they make up. “We’ve been the steady hand guiding all the good things forever, but now the Other has gone too far!, and we need bold new action to yadda yadda get in the train.”
