Chuck Darwin<p>The next morning, <br>wrecked, <br>I put on sweatpants and a hoodie <br>and tried to smuggle myself out of the hotel without having to talk to anyone.</p><p> I gave my chit to the valet and looked around to find Vance and Yarvin standing there waiting for cars. </p><p>“How do you guys feel?” Yarvin asked. </p><p>Vance was wearing a hoodie too and looked like I felt. <br>“I feel horrible,” he said. <br>“Not good.”</p><p>Yarvin asked what I’d thought of everything. </p><p>I said it would take a long time for me to figure that out. </p><p>We all shook hands, <br>and they waved

Chuck Darwin<p>“We are in a late republican period,” <br>Vance said later, <br>evoking the common New Right view of America as Rome awaiting its Caesar. </p><p>“If we’re going to push back against it, we’re going to have to get pretty wild, <br>and pretty far out there, <br>and go in directions that a lot of conservatives right now are uncomfortable with.”</p><p>“Indeed,” Murphy said. “Among some of my circle, the phrase ‘extra-constitutional’ has come up quite a bit.”</p><p>I’d asked Vance to tell me, on the record, what he’d like liberal Americans who thought that what he was proposing was a fascist takeover of America to understand.</p><p>He spoke earnestly. “I think the cultural world you operate in is incredibly biased,” he said<br>—against his movement and “the leaders of it, <br>like me in particular.” </p><p>He encouraged me to resist this tendency, which he thought was the product of a media machine leading us toward a soulless dystopia that none of us want to live in. </p><p>“That impulse,” he said,<br> “is fundamentally in service of something that is far worse than anything, <br>in your wildest nightmares, <br>than what you see here.”</p><p>He gave me an imploring look, <br>as though to suggest that he was more on the side of the kind of people who read Vanity Fair than most of you realize.</p><p>If what he was doing worked, he said, <br>“it will mean that my son grows up in a world where his masculinity<br>—his support of his family and his community, <br>his love of his community<br>—is more important than whether it works for fucking McKinsey.”</p><p>At that, we called it, <br>and the crowd of young men who wanted to talk to him immediately descended on the couches. </p><p>People kept bringing drinks, and there was a lot of shit talk, and it went on late. </p><p>I remember thinking at one point how strange it was that in our mid-30s <br>Vance and I were significantly older than almost everyone there, <br>all of whom thought they were organizing a struggle to change the course of human history, <br>and all of whom were now going to get sloppy drunk.</p><p> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Kyle" class="mention hashtag"

Chuck Darwin<p>Yarvin and Laurenson bounded out of the crowd as the cheers were still ringing. </p><p>They were giggling, seeming to have had some wine. </p><p>“Nixon—Nixon!”Laurenson said, <br>still laughing. </p><p>I couldn’t tell if she was delighted or horrified.</p><p>A couple of hours later I found Vance standing up by the bar, <br>surrounded by a circle of young and identical-looking fanboys. </p><p>I went over. He asked what I’d thought of the speech, and he suggested we find somewhere to talk.</p><p>He asked me to turn my recorder off so we could speak candidly. </p><p>I agreed, with regret, because the conversation revealed someone who I think will be hugely influential in our politics in the coming years, <br>even if he loses his Senate primary, <br>as both of us thought was possible.</p><p>It also revealed someone who is in a dark place, <br>with a view that we are at an ominous turning point in America’s history. </p><p>He didn’t want to describe this to me on the record. </p><p>But I can show it anyway, because he already says it publicly, and you can hear it too.</p><p>That night, I went up to my hotel room and listened to a podcast interview Vance had conducted with Jack Murphy, <br>the big, bearded head of the "Liminal Order" men’s group. </p><p>Murphy asked how it was that Vance proposed to rip out America’s leadership class.</p><p>Vance described two possibilities that many on the New Right imagine<br>—that our system will either fall apart naturally, <br>or that a great leader will assume semi-dictatorial powers.</p><p>“So there’s this guy Curtis Yarvin, who has written about some of these things,” Vance said. </p><p>Murphy chortled knowingly. </p><p>“So one [option] is to basically accept that this entire thing is going to fall in on itself,” Vance went on. </p><p>“And so the task of conservatives right now is to preserve as much as can be preserved,” waiting for the “inevitable collapse” of the current order.</p><p>He said he thought this was pessimistic. </p><p>“I tend to think that we should seize the institutions of the left,” he said.<br> “And turn them against the left. </p><p>We need like a <br>de-Baathification program, <br>a de-woke-ification program.”</p><p>I think Trump is going to run again in 2024,” he said. </p><p>“I think that what Trump should do, if I was giving him one piece of advice: </p><p>Fire every single midlevel bureaucrat, every civil servant in the administrative state, </p><p>replace them with our people.”</p><p>“And when the courts stop you,” he went on, “stand before the country, and say<br>—” he quoted Andrew Jackson, giving a challenge to the entire constitutional order<br>—“the chief justice has made his ruling. Now let him enforce it.”</p><p>This is a description, essentially, of a coup.</p><p> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Kyle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer"

Chuck Darwin<p>On the last afternoon of NatCon, <br>a few hours before he was set to give the keynote address, <br>Vance showed up. </p><p>He spotted me drinking a beer at the bar and came over to say hello. </p><p>“I still have no idea what I’m going to say,” he said, though he didn’t seem worried.</p><p>I wandered down to the ballroom to wait and ended up sitting with the U.S. correspondent for the German newsmagazine Der Spiegel. </p><p>I knew that some of the reporters there might have been under the impression that this was all mostly just tweedy MAGA pageantry. </p><p>He had a more complex view, having just spoken to Yarvin, <br>and asked me to explain his philosophy. </p><p>I found myself at a loss. <br>I said that there were these things called the regime and the Cathedral and that Yarvin was “sort of a monarchist.”</p><p>“A monarchist?”he asked. </p><p>He seemed taken aback to learn that what this hero figure of the New Right dreamed of was a king.</p><p>Vance showed up, wearing a suit and bright red tie, <br>looking relaxed for a person who was about to give a speech to hundreds of people who viewed him as possibly a last great hope in saving the American nation from global corporatist subjugation. </p><p>He’d shot up in the polls and at that moment was second in his primary, helped by regular invitations from Carlson.</p><p>I asked how he was feeling about the speech. He looked impish. “I think I’ve got a good topic,” he said. “I’m going to talk about college.”</p><p>What he meant was that he was about to give a genuinely thunderous speech, titled <br>“The Universities Are the Enemy.” </p><p>People immediately pointed out that it was a variation on something that Richard Nixon said to Henry Kissinger on White House tapes back in 1972. </p><p>Vance denounced elite colleges as enemies of the American people; </p><p>he has long proposed cutting off their federal funding and seizing their endowments. </p><p>The speech was later linked in alarmed <br>op-eds to “anti-intellectual” movements that had attacked institutions of learning. </p><p>But that doesn’t quite reckon with what an apocalyptic message he was offering. </p><p>Because Vance and this New Right cohort, who are mostly so, so highly educated and well-read that their big problem often seems to be that they’re just too nerdy to be an effective force in mass politics, <br>are not anti-intellectual. </p><p>Vance is an intellectual himself, even if he’s not currently playing one on TV. </p><p>But he thinks that our universities are full of people who have a structural, <br>self-serving, and <br>financial interest in coloring American culture as racist and evil. </p><p>And he is ready to go to extraordinary lengths to fight them.</p><p> <a
