🧵 Curtis Yarvin and the failure of NRx to properly address Jewish Power.
Yarvin (✡️) claims there is no race or class motivating the decentralized 🇺🇸 oligarchic power structure (the "Cathedral").
We are told to pay no attention to the names of the men behind the curtain.

2/19 Writing under his pseudonym, Mencius Moldbug, in 2007, Yarvin claimed he was "fascinated" by the "basically crazy" beliefs of Kevin MacDonald that Jewish ethnocentrism could've play an outsized role in the radical political and social movements of the 20th century. 
3/19 Yarvin admits that while there are some ethnocentric Jewish communities in America, these aren't the people who run the New York Times.
The New York Times is owned by the Sulzberger (✡️) family and has a jewish president (Meredith Kopit Levien).

4/19 In fact, almost every major media company has multiples Jews in prominent roles.
Does Yarvin really expect us to believe none of these Jews in positions of power let their "Jewishness" impact their collective decision-making in any way?

5/19 Yarvin says that talking about Jewish power will simply lead to you getting labeled a conspiracy theorist, and therefore it's not even worth the effort to try.
6/19 Despite having a very strong opinion against MacDonald, it turns out Yarvin didn't even read Culture of Critique!
Everyone who knows Yarvin knows he is a voracious reader, so this is a very peculiar admission to say the least.

7/19 For someone who just can't seem to find any evidence of Jewish ethnocentrism anywhere he looks, Yarvin happily admits he sees afrocentrism "all over the place".
8/19 It also turns out, according to Yarvin, antisemites are the REAL leftists.
Interestingly, this talking point from 16 years ago is repeated ad naseum today by the likes of Bronze Age Pervert, Charlie Kirk, Matt Walsh, etc. (opposition to Zionism as "leftism").

9/19 Not only is the JQ a conspiracy theory according to Yarvin, but even worse it's "unfashionable", and you will be "reviled".
This, however, begs the question: who are the ones doing the cancellations for "antisemitism" and why?

10/19 "Please just don't be antisemitic guys, there's no coming back from it. How can I be a part of high society if I am surrounded by rubish antisemites".
11/19 In another post, Moldbug argues that we can't tell if Jews had any influence on Cromwell allowing Jews back into England because Jews "weren't there".
The Jewish Odysee is just a "plain good story" and that is the only reason anyone would ever focus on them.

12/19 According to Yarvin, Jews "kick ass" when they are together. But because different sects of Judaism exist, he tells us, there can be no Jewish group behavior.
13/19 Yarvin asserts Jewish immigrants who got ahead in Ameica were acting "as individuals".
It's a bit strange how one of the most prominent illiberal thinkers of our time suddenly becomes a liberal individualist when talking about Jewish success.

14/19 Yarvin, who didn't even bother reading Culture of Critique, says the fact there is a massive amount of evidence provided proves MacDonald's thesis is not true 🤔.
15/19 In another blog, Moldbug compared the Israel lobby to a piece of "dental floss", while the Palestinian one was as strong as "arm-thick iron rope".
The Israel lobby / AIPAC *needs* to bribe Congressmen, he says, because it has no *real* power, unlike the Palestinians.

16/19 The reality is AIPAC-backed candidates win 95% of their elections.
17/19 Even though it may look like the Israel lobby has all the power, Yarvin claims, the fact we can see that power means it must not exist!
18/19 These days, in between jetsetting from city to city for lavish parties, Yarvin occassionally still takes the time to lecture us on his latest ideas such as:
Are you White and disturbed by Israel's barbaric ethnic cleansing in Gaza? You're "evil".

19/19 Curtis Yarvin's blind spot on Jewish power is crippling for his worldview. Perhaps, this is caused by his own secular / jewish heritage, or his backing from Peter Thiel.
Rather than the "Cathedral", a much more accurate name for his central concept is the "Synagogue".
