Curtis Yarvin and the Slavery “Debate”

I first became aware of Curtis Yarvin when he was mentioned as an ally of Milo Yiannopoulos back in 2016. Yiannopoulos was a lead attacker on so-called Leftists by the, at that time, “Alt Right.” For a movement of far-rightists active against immigrants and LGBT people, it seemed strange that their attack dog was an English-born gay man. Yarvin was feeding Yiannopoulos intelligence on one of the principal donor to far-right efforts, Peter Theil According to New York Magazine;

“Most interestingly, far-right blogger Curtis Yarvin, better known as Mencius Moldbug, told Yiannopoulos that he had been “coaching” Thiel in politics. Yarvin and Thiel apparently watched the election together, and Moldbug described Thiel as “fully enlightened, just plays it very carefully,” in an email to Yiannopoulos.”
