I try to be objective and consider all political perspectives, whether I agree with them or not.
Per the article:
“At the time, I noted that Yarvin had been linked to the Trump campaign through Steve Bannon, former chief strategist of Trump’s first administration. Bannon was once influenced by Yarvin but has since soured on him, as well as that of Thiel and Musk.
Bannon recently appeared on The New York Times podcast calling out the tech barons for promoting “technofeudalism” and transhumanism.”
The absolute open border free-marketer libertarian is really an anarcho-communist. They abuse freedom until it is unrecognizable to make the argument for government regulation.
Well good morning Brave New World... Oh, and there are even more connections as you know. Uncomfortable but it needs to be understood. Thank you.
Ever since Trump got elected and he has been aligned with all these tech bros, I’ve been worried that this is where everything is headed. The dismantling of the government doesn’t appear to be for the good of the people, but for the good of those who will soon privatize it, and place us all under corporate rule.
And it’s not like I think the left is any better. I look to my left and I see communism. And now, as I look at who is in power, and his associations, I’m beginning to fear fascism. Mussolini made sure the trains ran on time.
I’ve been a huge Trump support, I voted for him 6 times (3 primaries, and 3 general elections), and now I’m beginning to regret my vote. But looking back, I can’t see a better alternative, so I don’t beat myself up too much. But all this talk of crypto, talk of privatization, association with Thiel, Vance, Yarvin, and Musk, well it’s beginning to really scare me.
Looking back on Trump’s campaign and his talk of “freedom cities” is also quite scary, especially where he talks about cities free of government regulation. Well If government isn’t involved, who is? Oh that’s right, cities run by some private equity firm that sets the laws and controls the people.
I too read other perspectives, and this time, I think they may be onto something, and it’s quite terrifying to think about it.
Peter is gay so I can’t take anything he says seriously.
What utter drivel. President Trump is not trying to “dismantle the government” or become a “dictator.” Anyone who wants to think some dude who is locked into technololgy is controlling Trump or Thiel or Vance is a loony tune. President Trump is trying to drain the swamp of all the parasites, get back to a nimble limited government that the founders envisioned, and return power to the people. Period.
Oh and have fiscal responsibility and quit being suckers for the world.
They found a Boogey Man and they’ll ride him for a couple of news cycles as they continue to implode.
Where is B-Chan?
Horrible ideas. That Team Trump is so influenced by him is disconcerting.
Not credible.
The only thing every libertarian agrees on is that the current libertarian party should be ousted in favor of their version of libertarianism. It’s the only party that is in favor of infinite coups.
But it makes for an interesting thought experiment.
Innuendo upon innuendo upon innuendo.
Very interesting ideas. I’ve been concerned ever since Thiel supported Vance became Trump’s VP.
