The Broligarchy Wants Slavery Back
The attack on birthright citizenship is not about immigration, it’s about bringing back legalized slavery
The 14th Amendment to the Constitution created birthright citizenship as part of the abolition of slavery; freed slaves in America were granted citizenship after a bloody Civil War. The 14th Amendment overturned the disgraceful 1857 decision Dred Scott v. Sanford, which held that the Constitution and American citizenship did not extend to Black people.
Nevertheless, in his first week in office, Donald Trump issued an executive order ending birthright citizenship. This was blocked by a judge as “blatantly unconstitutional” but in many ways the order was already successful — because now the “issue” of birthright citizenship is a “debate” obscured by the excuse that it’s about immigration. It isn’t. It’s about starting the process of legalizing slavery, again.
As I have reported, the “Dark Enlightenment” is the PayPal Mafia’s ideological north star, a “hyper-racist,” antidemocratic, pseudo-intellectual framework rationalizing authoritarianism, eugenics, and slavery. Its lead proponent Curtis Yarvin is the troll-like prophet of a movement which has largely captured Silicon Valley and now the US Federal Government. The Vice President, JD Vance, is a follower, as are Peter Thiel, Elon Musk, Steve Bannon and many others in positions of influence and power.
Last night, in a rare 50-50 vote, decided by JD Vance as the tie-breaker, the Senate approved Pete Hegseth, an alcoholic rapist, a christofascist lunatic, and an unqualified Fox News host, to be the Secretary of Defense.
Hegseth follows the teachings of Doug Wilson, a “pastor” who says that empathy is Satanic, that women should not vote, and that slavery was actually good.
While Hegseth was being approved by the Senate, Doug Wilson released a “reaction video” to Curtis Yarvin’s interview with the New York Times in which Wilson defended Yarvin’s pro-slavery views.
“In the slave narratives that I read, there were stories and narratives and tales that were every bit as bad as the most virulent abolitionist could conjure up.”
“There were also numerous slaves pining for slavery time saying that they really had it good back then and they don’t have it good right now.”
This frames slavery as a debate between “virulent abolitionists” and people who wanted to “make life better” for Black people by returning them to their white masters.
In 2009, Curtis Yarvin wrote a screed on his blog under the pseudonym Mencius Moldbug praising Thomas Carlyle, an antebellum pro-slavery writer who penned an infamous essay called “Occasional Discourse on the Negro Question” which asserts “the Negroes are all very happy and doing well,” in 1849.
In another essay, Yarvin expressed his “fascination” with the Third Reich, and imagined an “alternate Nazi 2007,” in which “Hitlerism moderated over time.”
“For me the best way to understand National Socialism is, again, as a kind of Idealism… the Nazis venerated ideals such as Courage, Loyalty, and Aryanity.”
In the same interview with the NYT, Curtis Yarvin, backed up by Hegseth’s spiritual guide Doug Wilson, equates Nelson Mandela, who was imprisoned by the racist apartheid South African government for 27 years, and Anders Breivik, a Nazi who murdered 69 people in Oslo — “they were both terrorists.”
“They both did the same sort of thing. The interviewer has a set of blinders on that makes him lionize Mandela and condemn [Breivik].”
—Doug Wilson
Here is Anders Breivik’s Hitler salute in a court room, contrasted with Elon Musk’s Hitler salute — which the corporate media still refuses to acknowledge. Of course, to Musk and his father, Nelson Mandela was a terrorist — against white people.
Elon Musk, like his Nazi brethren, believes that slavery is just a normal part of life — “an extremely common practice from the dawn of civilization.”
The “Dark Enlightenment” of the Trump regime has only begun to surface. Project 2025 is just phase one of a much deeper attempt to reengineer society, to bring back indentured servitude and slavery — and make white people great again.
The attack on the 14th Amendment is an attempt to relitigate the Civil War. If there is no birthright citizenship, what does that mean for the descendants of slaves who were born to parents kidnapped and brought to America against their will? Will Black people be deemed “illegal immigrants” and enslaved — or sent back to Africa?
These questions seem absurd, because they are, but we must not be lulled into thinking “it can’t happen here.” In many ways, it already did.

Project 2025 made it pretty evident that the ultra wealthy wanted to go back to a theocratic feudal system.
The Republicans left are too cowardly and too greedy to argue. The Democrats don’t have the fight to accomplish anything.
Changing what is planned will happen from outside the classic government structure. But it probably will happen because too many people will loose and not prosper from the current plan of the billionaires
Thank you, Jim. Am I too dumb to say IF money had no way these "philosophies" would remain backroom card games? This sham, no mandate government is bought and now supported by calling 4 of a kind better than a royal flush. Who believes this and why?
Doesn't everyone opine on something? This is nothing, to me, but opining, on this that or FU, based on the money given to bring about the reversal of something one doesn't agree with.
How much money does it take? If Harris gained 1B and Musk spent 250M shouldn't our opining, on black women, be worth more than those of a quarter stance on what, white men or white slave provocateurs think, through a paster no less, the debate is and was Trump's catch all in 2016, through no less than slavery of himself?
And all those before him? Slavery is but one issue. Let them have that cake. Who needs to answer to that? I am fine with slavery. Isn't everyone? It's called not, a slave's wage, but a slave to wages. Back to the money. I may be off but Yarvin is a circle talker when he knows the effective nature that won't yield anything until one thing occurs. It is close but not yet.
Why aren't we listening?
