The mask is coming off of the Network State cult. Here is Network State evangelist Balaji Srinivasan boosting Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong calling for the creation "10 or so" new tech cities on federal land. Of course, Trump has already announced plans for 10 new cities...

The Network State is what happens when the state that produces the most cults also produces the most billionaires. Keep an eye on this story.

I don't understand how certain people keep getting elected when everyone clearly hates their fucking guts. Chuck Schumer has been a Senator since Bill Cliton was president and was in Congress since Reagan's first term. Is this feckless piece of dog shit really the best we can do for 45 years?

If you saw a person losing a game of chess to a dog, over and over, you would assume the person is losing intentionally, that they are losing on purpose. Probably to make money selling tickets to see the amazing chess playing dog. Anyway, the dems

1. Everything Elon Musk and his tech cronies are doing to our government is what Balaji Srinivasan spelled out in his "network state" cult manifestos. The establishment media prefers to ignore this even as it unfolds quite dramatically... Steve Bannon in the NYT:

We failed to stop fascism's rise. Now it's dancing about on the White House lawn. I don't know how to fix all this but I do know that the shit we've been doing won't get us out of this one. shatterzone.substack.com/p/we-failed-...

Musk comes from a family that moved to South Africa for the racism. He has repeatedly endorsed Great Replacement Theory in the US & Neo-Nazis of the AfD in Germany. He championed the rights of white nationalists and restored Nazi accounts to Twitter. But I'm sure the Nazi salute was an accident.

I feel more at peace than I expected I would. 1) The waiting is finally over. As Hitchcock tells us, there’s more fear in the suspense than in the bang. 2) I’m not crazy. The shit I warned people about—people who ignored, dismissed, or laughed—is happening.

Oprah Winfrey has been responsible for introducing several of the most toxic monsters of our era to society. But is she a bastard? @iwriteok.bsky.social sits down with @bridgettodd.bsky.social and @andrewti.bsky.social to investigate. @whysophiewhy.bsky.social www.iheart.com/podcast/105-...

Billionaires have become more powerful than nation-states, so the only democratic institutions that can constrain them now are multi-national. That's why the techbros are gunning for the EU & why Putin has been trying for decades to shatter NATO. These institutions must be preserved at all costs.

For the record, any assertions that current concerns are just for the “next four years” are fully misguided. We are on a path to permanently breaking existing systems; any fixes will come in building new ones. Prepare for that work, which will take the rest of your life.

ICYMI, Mark Zuckerberg sold his soul—to the extent he ever had one—to Peter Thiel in 2004, for $500K. “The Facebook” was just “hotornot” for college. Peter added billions in Russian money & turned it into the largest surveillance and behavior modification system on Earth.

I think antitrust is not enough to deal with the tech industry. We need - and I know this era isn't one where we get it - a digital EPA, with quality standards for apps/digital services with personal liability for executives and real, meaningful mechanisms to force companies to stop hurting people.

This is Trump being a salesman for a cabal of transnational criminals who want to annex Canada, Greenland, Mexico & all the way down to the Panama Canal to create a neo-fascist Bitcoin-powered feudalist North American Empire. In exchange we give Europe to Putin & Taiwan to Xi. That’s “the Plan.”

While we’re banning books… Finland is teaching children in school how to recognize fake news and propaganda as part of critical thinking and civic responsibility. Some of this will seem very familiar. Be. Like. Finland.

Reminder Scandinavia engineers its cities so there are zero pedestrian fatalities—if U.S. prioritized this in urban planning people would be alive in New Orleans. Mandatory breathalyzers in all cars & bars would help too.
