It's hard for critically thinking people not to at least consider something of that nature as a solution to quickly correct the current sinking ship. Historically much more meaningful swift change has been accomplished by centralized power or movements in the hands of a benevolent few - I think this what they are touching on, but obviously then there's opposite end of the spectrum which quickly puts those thoughts to bed.
I appreciate your point and agree. Wartime and depression era FDR is held as a model of efficient and effective leadership.

I am offering this to share my discovery regarding the latest fashion amongst the elite. Curtis Yarvin hasn’t exactly been a secret it turns out. He’s making the rounds on every podcast and is on every tech billionaire’s lips.

I can’t believe I’m writing this sentence but when Binden talked about saving democracy maybe this is what he was alluding to.

Thiel and pals actually talk about monarchy at cocktail parties it turns out.

We are so fucked but in a fun way.
