Curtis Yarvin's Plan for Britain

Sep 29, 2025
Curtis Yarvin, a computer scientist and political writer known for his provocative views, discusses Britain's potential to step into a leadership role as American influence wanes. He critiques the dehumanizing gig economy, likening it to modern servitude, and advocates for dismantling unaccountable bureaucracies. Delving into history, he traces the roots of Britain’s 'deep state' and proposes empowering a prime minister with royal-like authority. Yarvin controversially suggests neo-colonialism as a solution for governance crises and envisions a bold, ambitious future for Britain in the West.
