Wooden HIMARS
I had been puzzling over the weird remarks from Russian trolls on Quora about how many HIMARS had been destroyed. The cited numbers seemed high and eventually overtook the number we had actually sent. It turns out the Ukrainians have been building wooden mockups and placing them around in order to create confusion and get Russia to waste their supply of precision munitions.
That is why they claim to have destroyed more HIMARS than had actually been sent! They were boasting about hits on the wooden dummies. The Russian trolls had actually been boasting about how they had been duped. Tragic as this war is, it is not entirely without its entertaining moments.
Yarvin's not allowing comments on his latest "Truly Effective Altruism Requires Dictatorship" post, in one sticking-out-like-a-sore-thumbish section of which which he compares the lawn-sign-sentimental "let's help the Ukrainians!" attitude to Mrs. Jellyby's concern for Subsaharans as opposed to her own kids. Perhaps you'd like to respond to that section of his post here, since you're not allowed to respond to it there.
My own response would begin with the observation that a pro-Ukrainian policy can be motivated in various ways, and that Mrs. Jellybyism is only one of those ways.
To be consistent, Yarvin would have to hold that even national self-defense is Mrs. Jellybyism. After all, how well do the people of any American town really know the people of any other American town? Why bleed for people you don't know? What does "fellow American" even mean? The really truly rational AND "vitalist" thing to do is just to immediately surrender to any government -- say the government of Laos -- that threatens war.
