Many a sci fi dystopian novel written about this scenario

Pugh,Pugh, Barney McGrew, Cuthbert, Dibble, and Grubb were very happy in Trumpton!

Sounds very familiar.

Much of medieval Europe comprised of warring city states but of course Trump wouldn’t know about that cos his knowledge of history extends only as far back to when he consumed his last diet coke.

Deregulated Freeports, and Special Economic Zones are stepping stones to Free cities.
There are 12 Freeports and 74 SEZs currently being installed in the UK, these were initiated by Sunak and Truss and signed off by Labour MPs, Mayors, councillors, lords, and Baronesses between 2021 and 2022.

😱 The press are keeping quiet - same goes for TV? So the population is very largely uninformed. Why, for example is there an SEZ eating a long way onto Dartmoor - why? What's the plan?

The project is called The Network State is a highly aligned online community that crowdfunds territory around the world, they aim to reconfigure power and wealth for a small group of 'broligarchs'.

This is about the wealthy buying sovereignty under Faustian pacts, it is a form of neocolonialism.
Sunak's mentor at Stanford was Paul Romer who lectured on free zones and free cities as a means to shrink big govt by carving up countries into patchworks of corporate sovereignties.

You take a big problem and what do you do to solve it?
You break it down into more manageable pieces.
This is essentially what deregulated zoning is all about.

I’m never going to be able to use the ‘how do you eat an elephant’ phrase again without thinking of this (excellent) thread

Democracy can be removed from a jurisdiction that is under corporate governance, this is why zoning has gained traction since the 2008 financial crisis, it is a form of second empire building.

Planned over in the UK too. Authoritarianism by stealth.

Or holding pens for Billionaires, drug Lords, oligarchs, arms, pvt military equip, stolen art, enslaved people and Concentration camps.

This fascist regime is far far worse than those that came before.

If we could adjust their plan just a teeny bit … I kinda like the idea of a holding pen for billionaires. Another one for drug lords … would the oligarchs have a special extra stinky pen or would they share with billionaires (since the two groups are pretty much already merged ..)?

nickybshaw.bsky.social•5 days ago

But not more than 2 billionaires in a pen. If we'd not seizd & frozen assets, we should let them entertain us as cage fighters...
Afterall, that's what they're planning for us!
