I spent 4 hrs chaining Behind the Bastards on Thiel. My brain is still recovering.

The object is to dismantle democracy for a version if city-state style tech/corporate/billionaire whimsy rule instead.

Jonathan Swift, A Modest Proposal and all the rest.

If workers get hurt in the process, they do not care.

I listened to that one. The dark enlightenment crap that Thiel and musk subscribe to has been around for a while. I’m glad people are waking up to it because they want a feudal system where they are all powerful lords and we are all valueless peasants. This oppressive system will be upheld with mass surveillance, a police state and mass incarceration. They feel that only our total oppression and subservience is the only true form of freedom for them . Steven miller says they want the United States down to 100million people so around 70% of us have to die.

I had to look that one up. Trump blurted it out last year. Fits with present policy, which has Thiel vibes.

Between the tech bros and the heritage foundations project 2025 It’s all well coordinated policy being aggressively implemented. We’re losing bigly

I wish they'd just fuck off and build it in the middle of the ocean or some shit, rather than completely destroying my country

You'll have better chances with a rifle or a drone.

Remember when an angry mob killed Mussolini and hung him on display? That would be a fitting end for Elmo.

He's still "young". If the US decides to return to normalcy you have a solid chance of jailing him in the next couple of decades.
