The Dark Enlightenment Blues

from moonpilot 3Speak Podcast · host moonpilot

https://3speak.tv/watch?v=moonpilot/hztkkbmt The Dark Enlightenment: The Dark Enlightenment, also known as Neo-Reactionary (NRx) Thought, is a controversial and anti-democratic political philosophy that emerged in the early 2000s. It was popularized by Curtis Yarvin (a.k.a. Mencius Moldbug) and critiques modern liberal democracy, egalitarianism, and progressive values. The movement argues that: Democracy is inefficient and leads to decay. Monarchy or corporate governance would be more stable and effective. Traditional hierarchies and order should be restored. Progressivism and egalitarianism create societal dysfunction. Critics view the Dark Enlightenment as elitist, authoritarian, and reactionary — it romanticizes older power structures while rejecting many ideals of modern democracy and civil rights.
