Yuga Labs. Many Hindus believe we're in a dark Age, Kali Yuga. (Kali, their goddess of destruction + 'yuga' = age, era.)

Savitri Devi, a European woman, moved to India, became a Hindu and later became a Nazi. She created her own belief that Hitler was an incarnation of their deity Vishnu, and would bring Kali Yuga to an end (I presume by creating what you and I would see as a dystopian fascist racist world state). She travelled India lecturing to nationalists.

In 1948, Savitri managed to enter occupied Germany, where she distributed thousands of pro-Nazi leaflets, bearing the words: "One day we shall rise and triumph again! Hope and wait! Heil Hitler!"

She died three decades ago, and was pretty much forgotten until some of the alt right resurrected her memory and started promoting her bizarre beliefs anew. Her views are reaching a wider public thanks to Nazi websites. American alt-right leaders such as Richard Spencer and Steve Bannon, former Trump chief strategist and chair of Breitbart News, are said to have taken up the account of history as a cyclical battle between good and evil, believing that certain "superior" people will again take power, returning us to a mythical golden age.

Edit: Factual errors fixed, added extra info.

tl;dr: Some general history showing the probable derivation of the 'Yuga' in 'Yuga Labs'.

I'm sure it's all a coincidence and not an attempt to nudge-nudge-wink-wink 4chan Hitler memes into the mainstream and get away with it.

Some of that stuff like the "simianization" thing felt like kind of a reach, and a big booster of it was the Crypto Punks guy, so there's probably some ulterior motive there, but Yuga Labs' official explanation of the ape skull logo stuff is the ape was "bored to death" which is uh... kinda less believable that they styled it after the Nazi skull, down to having the same number of teeth. Given that the "Kali Yuga Surf Club" was part of that meme prior too there's just way too much stuff lining up.

Also one of the main strategies of Neo fascists and the alt right is to blow air horn sized dog whistles and then hide behind irony and “jokes.” The idea is to radicalize the adhd-addled brains of zoomers with memes and nihilistic humor and then, once they’re deep enough in, feed them into the fash pipeline.

There's a good piece out about how the crypto world kind of wants to focus on the fraud end of the FTX case and throw SBF under the bus as hard as possible to keep attention away from the other end of FTX's business: Massive amounts of money laundering, probably mostly enabling capital flight out of China.

like they rent lambos and G5s for photo ops more than do any rented yacht events.

it's not about the physical yacht

it's about the state of mind. AKA The Implication

you go to Apefest, there isn't a yacht. But the implication is still there.
