Last week in right-wing trolling

Here's what you may have missed from the worst people on the internet

Future President DeSantis’s Secretary of Education wants you to know that your concerns about fascism are ridiculous.

Christopher F. Rufo ⚔️ @realchrisrufo

I've noticed a pattern at our New College of Florida board meetings: a huge number of the public commenters are the mothers of current students. I would have been mortified if my mom came to my university dressed in a costume, screaming about "fascism." Bizarre development.

Meanwhile, Chris Rufo is out here platforming a “friendly critique” of his takeover College of Florida written by a guy named Curtis Yarvin a/k/a Mencius Moldbug.

Christopher F. Rufo ⚔️ @realchrisrufo

Curtis Yarvin has published a friendly critique of our campaign to transform New College of Florida. He understands the difficulties of the task ahead, but is far too pessimistic about the prospects for the future. Here's why. 🧵 graymirror.substack.com/p/acorns-for-t…

But who is Curtis Yarvin, you ask? Well, he’s an extremist who wants to destroy democracy as we know it.

Commonweal Magazine @commonwealmag

"For Curtis Yarvin, most people are nothing more than a mass of hobbits who 'suck' and should be governed by their betters." @MattPolProf: His authoritarianism is too elitist even for fascism.

commonwealmagazine.orgYarvin’s Case Against DemocracyThe writer Curtis Yarvin advances a monarchist politics that’s too elitist even for fascism. His only real talent is pitching reaction in a hipster vocabulary.

Unfortunately, this isn’t really new. Yarvin was financially backed by Peter Thiel for years, and he’s been mainstreamed into the GOP thanks to guys like JD Vance and Blake Masters along with a variety of right-wing trolls.

Christopher Mathias @letsgomathias

pretty concerning how quickly the GOP has adapted "the Regime" as a term, which originates from the work of Peter Thiel-affiliated monarchist/authoritarian philosopher Curtis Yarvin. vanityfair.com/news/2022/04/i…

Ron DeSantis @RonDeSantisFL

The raid of MAL is another escalation in the weaponization of federal agencies against the Regime’s political opponents, while people like Hunter Biden get treated with kid gloves. Now the Regime is getting another 87k IRS agents to wield against its adversaries? Banana Republic.

You may not think we’re in an existential fight for the soul of the nation here, but the right certainly does!

REMINDER: We’re not playing offense yet. We’re in the early stages of playing real defense. But no offense yet. It will take time to learn. You’ll know we’re playing offense when we’re pushing OUR values in schools. Not just stopping theirs. When we’re building OUR statues…

Russian, Chinese and Iranian and right-wing trolls are never to blame with this guy. Why is that?

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

There is no question that the greatest amount of disinformation, and the most harmful forms of it, have come from: 1) The corporate media outlets claiming to combat "disinformation"; 2) The scam industry of "disinformation experts"; 3) The US Security State that rules them.

You have to be extremely far down the rabbit hole to believe COVID-19 was secretly released to hurt Trump politically, but these are the people who say the left has Trump Derangement Syndrome...

Lara Logan @laralogan

So obvious.

Emerald Robinson ✝️ @EmeraldRobinson

America’s intelligence agencies want you permanently stuck in the Wuhan “lab leak vs. wet market” debate because it excludes the most likely possibility: COVID was a planned operation to undermine the Trump Administration. It didn’t “leak.” It was released.

If Black History Month seems Woke, you might be a racist.

New outrage just dropped.

Matt Walsh @MattWalshBlog

As you know, @Hersheys has made trans-identified male @FaeJohnstone one of the faces of its International Women’s Day campaign. But Johnstone, along with being a male, is also a vile, woman-hating extremist. This is the sort of person that Hershey’s has chosen to represent women.

Jack Posobiec 🇺🇸 @JackPosobiec

So Hershey hired a man for Women’s History Month Fascinating

DC_Draino @DC_Draino

Happy to boycott Hersheys The American people are sick and tired of having woke lectures shoved down their throats We want chocolate, not Leftist propaganda

Brigitte Gabriel @ACTBrigitte

I will never eat another Hershey's chocolate bar for as long as I live. Go woke, go broke!

Look, by all means, have this fight, Steve. I’m here for it.

Imagine publishing a deep fake video of the president (without even labeling it as fake) and calling yourself a news site. It’s truly incredible, but The Post Millennial did it. Twitter let them.

The Post Millennial @TPostMillennial

AI imagines what would happen if Biden declares and activates the Selective Service Act and begins drafting 20 years old to war

That’s it. I included as much as I could! Until next time…
