What does he even mean by this?

Devoid of all meaning except for being unmistakably racist. And not the mild, everyday kind either.

edit: there's already two sibling comments with almost opposite interpretations. Fuck that shit, I don't need to understand the finer (?) points to know that Yarvin & Thiel are horrible people who have way too much influence. And I bet half the time Yarvin doesn't even understand it himself, he just needs to keep the controversy boiling.

Nobody knows what it means but it’s provocative. It gets the people going

He’s a pseudo intellectual that gets high on his own farts, like Nick Land.

What I’m understanding here is he’s trying to take advantage of anti billionaire sentiment - that it’s obvious even to alt right weirdos that wealth inequality is fucking everyone but the rich over. He’s a monarchist, he doesn’t have a problem with billionaires, but he wants to play populist. He’s using racist forum troll slang to signal to others that they don’t have to hide anymore (would Twitter have even taken the post down if he typed the full word out? certainly can’t say ‘cis’), and is hinting at some wealth redistribution through confiscation from Black people (think about how much was looted from folks during things like the Tulsa Race Riot in the 20’s - that and similar riots were often ways to forcibly redistribute wealth to poor whites…)
