Yarvin's no Lenin and his view of American history is mostly wrong, but he's right about the transience of vibe shifts. The New Left collapsed w/ Reagan, but their 1963-73 projects still define the US today. Likewise with 90s PC. Question is if woke will be the same.
The demographic, moral, and political rot unleashed by the '60s New Leftists *which was never undone* has degraded America massively. There's a lot of ruin in a nation, and the Scientific and Industrial Revolutions are still going, but every year the situation gets worse.
Yarvin's, I think correct, point is that Trump is on track to just stop the worst excesses while enshrining the important parts, as previous right-wing reactions in the US (Nixon, Reagan, Gingrich) have done and that this is totally inappropriate given how late the hour is.
I think most of Yarvin's views are wrong, but he has one huge achievement: mainstreaming right-wing politics for Silicon Valley, the big new power center of the 21st century. Even if it's not a very good variety of such. Can't take that away from him.
Trump is also doing a bunch of non-ideological semi-random corruption (TrumpCoin) and retardation (Liberation Day). And that's terrible.
