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

      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.
