Would need to time travel back to the sixties to be a true Bernie replacement — his undeniable sincerity was one of his main assets. Gavin knows his vibe, at least (smarmy asshole)
With rumblings about the potential for new divisions in the country with wealthy overlords, those new states are going to need governors. It feels wild to say that and believe it's conceivable outside of an 80s sci-fi movie.
you're probably right, but i think he smells the gravy train that comes with being a MAGA acolyte, and is buddies with all the weirdo tech billionaires so I can imagine him going all the way
He’s always leaned big contributors. He picked SCE & PG&E over rooftop solar & they’ve burned down half the state. He’s extra butthurt bc Kamala got the nod instead of him.
I don't think so. He has always been a fascist. He has connections to rich people for most of his life. He is an abusive husband. He has the aura of a pedophile.
Not a lot of hope today. I cannot imagine what people from targeted communities feel like. The people we've begrudgingly elected to fight are lying down or in the case of Newsom throwing the vulnerable to the wolves.
I doubt they have knowledge others don’t have. These are not particularly insightful people. They are egomaniacal cowards. The fact they comply first is that this type of person doesn’t give a shit. They are so puffed up with ego all they can see is what gets more status and wealth for themselves.
Obviously, we are all conspiracy theorizing but my thought was to make it harder for Cash Patel and the administration to listen to any conversations. Unlike most people who hate Newsom, I don't think he's a secret rightwinger but I think he'll pivot into one to save his skin.
This is *bad security*. Nobody should accept a "burner phone" that gets MAILED to you. Get your own (walk to the store, don't carry your devices), handle it correctly (powered burner never comes within a couple miles of your house or your other devices), and install Signal on it.
I asked a californian I know what they think of him: "he's great! He likes wine and he's cleaning up the homeless problem". That, for me, was case closed on this dude.
Never a good idea to trust him, but I thought he might have been useful, able to see where public opinion was headed, and get in front of it, like gay marriage.
Honest question: is there /anyone/ on the right worse than Steve Bannon? /Could/ you go lower?
I guess Yarvin has written more explicit beliefs out, but I doubt Bannon would disagree w/ any of them so he seems insufficient. Fuentes is not nearly as dangerous. Miller doesn’t seem as idealogical (?)
Oooo fantastic call, yes, you're absolutely right. Advocating for their criminal version of the red pill is one of the very few things that is somehow more viscerally disgusting than being a Nazi. Well done!
He’s just a walking thumb though, so when he pitches his little hissy fits like he’s been doing on the news, I feel like everyone (but Trump apparently) takes him less seriously.
“Howdy y’all, welcome back to the GavinCast. Tonight, we’re talking to noted philosopher, political theorist, and ‘hyper-racist’ Nick Land to talk about antisemitism on the left, the impending Omni-genocide, and his favorite holidays! How #based!”
Bannon read the cliff notes of Ayn Rand and doesn't know that Rawls beat Nozick and Nozick himself recanted much of his libertarian nonsense later in life.
I would say folks like Lex Friedman are the most dangerous as they cloak their twisted narratives in academic gobbledygook.
Not if you consider how many of those tech CEOs are immigrants.
From Parik Patel:
The CEO of Google is Indian
The CEO of Microsoft is Indian
The CEO of Adobe is Indian
The CEO of IBM is Indian
The CEO of Chanel is Indian
The CEO of FedEx is Indian
The CEO of Palo Alto Networks is Indian
One unanswered question- did he buy 100ish burner phones on his own dime, or was this state action.
Question 2- how hard is he going to resist an open records request for those numbers.
Question 3- did he have the foresight to make his "personal number" a separate line, or his phone blowing up 24/7?
"The California State Protocol Foundation is paying for the phones, Newsom’s office said. The nonprofit was founded in 2002 to offset costs for ceremonial activities and trips like the governor’s previous excursions to Italy, El Salvador and China."
Chilling yet it all fits and in this scenario, looks like Gavin is either a sleeper agent or trying to get in with the big kids. He's right, it's already happening.
Yeah... been screaming the dangers of that walking grundle infection for so long that I don't even remember when I started. Yarvin is so much more weird and gross than any one essay can really describe.
I recommend the Behind the Bastards podcast, particularly the Yarvin and Thiel episodes. The latest Zizian episodes also tie into this technocult insanity.
So 💩 is about to get real and he’s worried for their safety. Are they preprogrammed to send the national guard to them for their safety during the riots. 😳🤔
I guess he's taken the wrong message from reading the Careless People Facebook whistleblower book? The Irish government did this for Meta execs when they'd arrive in the Republic
He's an idiot. I live in CA and he lost interest in the job after the financial problems; he enjoyed being Governor when it was easy. Good riddance - hopefully CA doesn't flip red because of his uselessness.

I plead that the glorious California sun was shining brightly on my phone and I could see what I was typing so... typos
like, yes, i get that the burner phones are to prevent interception
he thinks America is now an oligarchy and wants to be the next oiligarch puppet president
(Or whatever those enclaves will be called)
If they will not learn from their failures, they can join the whigs.
One does not simply “have Steve Bannon on a podcast” – he is clearly up to some shite
He’s trying to make nice, IMO
Will he submit the state to Trump? Musk?
I guess Yarvin has written more explicit beliefs out, but I doubt Bannon would disagree w/ any of them so he seems insufficient. Fuentes is not nearly as dangerous. Miller doesn’t seem as idealogical (?)
Good job @greased7.bsky.social

Talk about dangerous tho

Or maybe he’s just a white supremacist fascist feeling emboldened by the current climate.
Who knows.

I appreciate that folks are showing their ineptitude early on. Helps weed out in advance.
(it’s an odd contest i don’t know why they insist on hosting it every year)

Ive gotten weird vibes ever since he started getting national attention, but wouldnt have predicted right wing, tech bro slide
“Mm. Very nice.”
And they didn’t target military. Just was a terror attack on civilians mostly. Just for the record.
If it happened in America or Europe it would have been condemned by the entire world.
Our media praised it. They lied.
"The California State Protocol Foundation is paying for the phones, Newsom’s office said. The nonprofit was founded in 2002 to offset costs for ceremonial activities and trips like the governor’s previous excursions to Italy, El Salvador and China."

This essay's too long for ALT text. I found a readable version here:

I can't do audio only but if this is a video of it, the captions will work.
Will it have an impact in stopping this Dark Maga plan?
😂
Like, is he speed running every Political Darling -> Psychotic Soylent Green is your Grandmother And You Have To Kill Her GOP candidate.
tradecraft...
considering, the threat model he is trying to protect against, he needs next level tradecraft and security.
this is probably the very beginning of that.
