DOGE = Curtis Yarvin's RAGE from his butterfly revolution blog post. Curtis Yarvin is socially relevant to Peter Thiel, Elon Musk, and Marc Andreessen among others in the tech world.
I'd implore readers to catch up what Yarvin's ideals are because it helps frame what's happening and the ultimate goal in plain terms rather than making us work backwards divine intentions from the news.
“DOGE = Curtis Yarvin's RAGE from his butterfly revolution blog post.”
I rarely have the patience or temperament to read Yarvin, so I can’t say whether you are right or not. But I can say that his critique of progressive institutions has resonated with a much larger share of the right than his positive vision of politics.
And this makes sense! It’s entirely possible to have insight into the problems your side is facing while being off base about the solutions. That’s pretty common to intelligent, eccentric thinkers across the political spectrum.

Do you have an archive or something of his blog post? It seems he paywalled it.
