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?

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?

Fairly interesting (and disturbing) insight into how the New Right thinks. Worth the listen if you’re trying to understand the right’s new weirdness.

They talk about Curtis Yarvin who thinks there are 3 kinds of government: 1) Democracy, 2) Oligarchy, 3) Monarchy. They think democracy has failed, so their solution is to overthrow everything and put in an American monarchy. They line up what Yarvin says with what Vance says and they sound similar, though Yarvin is much clearer.

      when your ideas are that toxic, you need to rebrand yourself every time people figure out who you are.

      picture them as the ol’ timey snake oil salesmen peddling bullshit. except these people want power over you, not [just] your money.

    There are already 2 other ‘Right’, but they don’t do what we want. We need a New Right, with a catchy name, maybe the 3th Right.
