I kept wondering why neither you nor Pedro referenced some of Curtis Yarvin’s own thoughts on the concerns/questions raised by the recent piece?
For example the question of why apparent “wins” can turn out to be harms or losses on a long enough timeline, and the question of what type of benefit the hobbits of the world might gain from supporting a dark elf takeover/influence operation.
Effectively or not, Yarvin has addressed these points many times with reasonable if ultimately incorrect answers.
It seems like if you are going to use his work as jumping off point for an extended discussion of its merits, it would be the honorable thing to do at least to mention his own published responses to some of these concerns.
