This isn’t a conspiracy. This is a well known and widely touted political agenda. They have white papers on this. They give speeches about this. There’s entire conferences about this, and not like PAC conferences, I mean like Network State conferences where the founder of Etherium has shifted from Seasteading 10 years ago to now wanting on land autonomous nations.
Not surprised at all.
Who wants to out down some money in when countries just stop following the Geneva Convention because it’s “a regulatory burden”? Price is Right rules closest without going over.
The correct terminology is Internally Displaced Persons, or IDPs.
And the US had around 2.5 million IDPs over all of 2023 as the result of natural disasters. IDPs are difficult to track as well, as it’s hard to tell of someone settles somewhere new of they would still go back somewhere else or not.
The problem is that is much worse than bullshit, it’s a death sentence.
Not fully, but in practice to benefit from no trade barriers. And it’ll be done by 2040.
I think what we’ll get is no more singular head of state because the Unitary Executive model is a flawed premise that highlights the fragility of having only one person as the chief executive. It’s a poison pill. Suggesting it is to suggest inevitable death of the Republic.
What we’ll end up with our scaled up Switzerland. An Executive Council of 5/7/9 regionally elected members, with a rotation of who is the ceremonial head of state for functions. I like 7, with more of the East Coast and Midwest consolidated.
But whew…the constitution will need a major overhaul for that to work.
It’s actually very interesting you brought this up:
The Koch bro plan was what precipitated Red Stating. It’s always been iffy at best because despite their dismantling efforts, they still want to try and do most of their plan legally and through “the system” so it can’t seem like it can be easily undone. But the goal is to repeal the 20th century and social gains like civil rights, abortion rights, etc. But here the long term goal is to fully go back in time to 1892 to cosplay robber barons.
The tech brologarchy version is entirely different in its final goal and process, but the interim goal of ending the Republic and repealing the 20th centrury is shared. The difference is that they want to be left alone and have islands of state-level power that they would and can project in a totally re-made world. Despite their hate of “tribalism” they want non-geographic nationality based on…well, tribaliam. All facilitated by AI and blockchain, called decentralized autonomous organizations. They want techno feudalism where they expect everyone to work at an unreasonable, manic level because that’s what they do.
In both cases, they truly, honestly believe they’re fighting for the side of “good” by wanting people buying from the Praxis or Kochistan company store, working everyone to death to make them as “benevolent” god-men kings more powerful.
An app where all you end up recording is “Bro! Bro! Bro! Broseeeeph! Let’s gooooooo, Bro!”
Not even. Him and Elon biffed every other form of autocratic guidance that laid out steps to take.
Cutis Yarvin is furious at how incompetent Musk and Torange have been. By 100 days in they should have been drowning journalists in foam. They haven’t even hit 50% of Project 2025 progress.
Rank amateur bitches. Can’t even do authoritarianism well.
Elon will count that as $3.8 billon that DOGE saved.
This was originally marketed in 2006 as MMS, “Miracle Mineral Supplement.” An insane guy named Jim Humble experimented on people in Cameroon and Uganda with this, claiming it cured literally every disease. HIV/AIDS, malaria, dengue, cancer, meningitis, you name it.
At some point around 2016 even Humble admitted it doesn’t do anything. If you’ve ever maintained a swimming pool you know that you add acid to the water with chlorine to activate it. It’s exactly the same thing in a glass.
While it’s obviously harmful in high concentrations, ultimately, if you drink water with it, it dilutes to the point of being no more harmful than tap water from a large city. Not ideal for gut health long term, but honestly less terrible than eating breakfast cereal every day.
He only knows what the last convincing person said to him – IF – IF he’s had a sliver of doubt about Putin’s loyalty to HIM. Putin’s lack of giving T a ceasefire that T needs to appear to accomplish something does that.
What’s funny is T is literally the last person in the country to get to this realization. But hey, maybe he got there, right?
I do. I really do.
It’s been a topic of conferences, books, podcasts, and new laws for almost a decade. They have it all in plain sight. Lol, made it up.
Curtis Yarvin has his Butterfly Revolution, which Thiel is all in about. Therefore Musk as well. Of the five pillars of Yarvin’s guide to authoritarianism, the EO about forcing university accreditation to heel is the last one needed to hit them all. Well documented, and the Nerd Reich had a post recently about how Yarvin is mad at how incompetent Trump and Musk are because they’re literally not gasing people to death by now.
A guy named Balaji wrote a book called the Network State that outlines the government that should replace democraticly electing people. Also a podcast, also conferences with folks like the creator of Etherium backing it. He’s been pushing countries to recognize DAOs as legal entities. Wyoming is on board, and Palau and the Marshall Islands have also been receptive as nation level test cases. Network city-states are in the mix as well.
This is the stuff that makes Project 2025 look like quaint kids’ games. However, where they both agree is the idea of repealing the social gains of the 20th century. Civil rights, women’s rights, gone. The goal is techno-fascist fifedoms built around crypto and AI, like Thiel’s investment in Praxis, where broligarchs don’t just have money, they control the force and violence of the state, which is something that money can’t just buy.
This is 100% it.
All I want is a modular car system. Everything modular. Dashboard. Body panels. Whatever. I want 3+ cars possible on one frame, and to not need anything more than basic tools to swap parts around.
“Power creates power. The more power you weild, the more you accumulate.”
Way over-thinking it.
Europe and Japan 10-15 years ago all had radios with 4x6 inch no-touch displays for pre-loaded GPS with no internet connection. They switch to backup cameras when in reverse.
America doesn’t need to invent anything here, this is old technology widely used by large parts of the rest is the world.
Europe and Japan had backup cameras with no touchscreen on cars 10-15 years ago. The radio head unit just switches from a small 4x6 inch LCD display to back up camera when in reverse.
IIRC, the plan was:
AAAAAHHHHHHHHHH! AH! AH! AH! AHHHHHH! AH! OH SHIT! OH GOD, THIS SUCKS, NO NO NO NO! FUCK. OK, THINK…THINK, AH! THINKING HURTS! NO THINK! ALL IS MY ENEMY! NHILISTIC ACCELERATIONISM FUELED BY SELF-LOATHING! UH…UH…AAAAAHHHHH!
Wait…wait…OK. OK…just… OK, just calm…just… AAAAHHHH! AHHHHHHHHHH!
Or, like, maybe they’re just making it up as they go or something. Whatever.
Done even need that.
I went to a rural school and every week on Tuesdays we took 10 minute shifts to go rinse our mouths with a fluoride mouth wash. 1 gallon jug with a pump and Dixie cups. Lasted most of a school year.
