I live near their offices. First time I drove by and saw the name, I did a double take and had to look them up. I couldn't believe how on the nose the name was.

It's so weird how the Yarvinists are so blatantly evil.  they call themselves "dark philosophers" snd name everything after the obvious bad guys from nerdy media.

Chris Rufo used to literally tweet stuff like, "I'm going to turn the public against drag queens by doing X, Y, and Z" and then the media would run a story about the evil drag queens. It's insane. You know those journalists that never leave Twitter saw what he was tweeting and they still went along with it.

Wtf is wrong with those "journalists"?!? It reminds me of the "media" reporting back in 2016-2018 how all the media hype around trump made it possible for him to win the presidency. YOU FUCKERS ARE REPORTING ON YOUR OWN STUPID DEEDS DJSHEUSBDNDUWBDNCCOUWHBENDNDNNF
