Don't know if Icono/Macklemore is into the tech part of this shit, but it sounds akin to the New Right monarchy he's obsessed with.

In a nutshell, Yarvin's Dark Enlightenment political worldview is that the REAL power in the U.S. resides in an informal collaboration of universities and the mainstream media (that he calls "the Cathedral") which collude to sway public opinion. He admires the former Chinese Communist leader Deng Xiaoping for his "pragmatic and market-oriented authoritarianism," believes America's commitment to equality and justice "erodes social order," and advocates for an American "monarch" to dissolve elite academic institutions and media outlets asap.

A regular speaker at various Libertarian and techno-fascist conferences, Yarvin's position is that democratic governments are inefficient and wasteful and should be replaced with sovereign corporations whose "shareholders" elect an executive with total power over the country/corporation. As Yarvin explains it, "Unencumbered by liberal-democratic procedures, the executive could rule like a CEO-Monarch."

And just in case it still isn't abundantly clear what Curtis Yarvin thinks is the solution to what ails America, here it is in his most straightforward phrasing: "If Americans want to change their government, they're going to have to get over their dictator-phobia."

Sounds like Communism.

CEOs and corporations in general are just accountable to nobody. It is crazy. They can do things that would get the owner of a private company sent to prison seemingly without any pushback.

I feel we are far too late for the guillotines.  By a decade or more.

What's the expression - "The best time to build a guillotine was twenty years ago.  The second best time is now."?  Something like that ... anyway, I think we should give it a try.

Canceled aid to Ukraine and looking into sanctions relief for Russia. 
 

We couldn’t be more on the wrong side of history if we tried. 

 

But by God, we are taking care of those damned brown skin folk and trannies.

The problem is much deeper than Trump or MAGA. Those are just smoke screens to keep people distracted.

The real problem is the takeover of the country by a small set of billionaires who each rule kingdoms that they feel should be free of government and public interference.

They (people like Peter Thiel, Curtis Yarvin and Leon - there are many other mostly Tech Bros) want to rule their fiefdoms as they choose. Just like all kings do. No king wants to take orders from anyone. Human nature hasn’t changed, those in power want to keep power. Those with power, do not wish to share it.

Tech Bro Kings aren’t concerned about equality or fairness or anything much to do with the public as long as what is due to them comes to them. The price of a dozen eggs means nothing when you can buy the entire egg industry. When you can easily buy senators, vice presidents and presidents then democracy is just a fun ruse.

Slashing the govt (with Elon out front) is just a way to make the public believe that the Tech Bro Kings have the answers. Planes are crashing? Starlink will fix it. Mail isn’t being delivered? Amazon has the answer. National Parks can’t be booked? AirBnB has a system. Want an education? Google has all the info you need. Each thing that is given away just strengthens the kingdoms.

Unfortunately there is no going back. The battles are lost. Democracy is dead. The only hope is one day the kingdoms will come in conflict with each other (which always happens) and they will destroy themselves and something better will rise.

Just to be clear, Curtis Yarvin is not a billionaire, or probably even a millionaire.

He's a weirdo crank that is a philosopher-god-king to those toolbags.

At least Bill Gates and Steve Jobs knew they were fucking weirdos and mostly kept to themselves.

I appreciate the sentiment,  but it’s not your slur to use.

With what I have seen over the past few days...

Short term, we're fucked.  Mid term, reasonable adults will rise up.  Long term, we'll cleanse ourselves of these dipshits.

The executive branch needs an enema at this point.  Followed by a thorough cleasing with several hundred gallons of bleach.  Oh yeah, one of these dipshits recommended drinking bleach during COVID.  He needs a cupfull now.

Voters must compel Congress to perform their constitutionally mandated duties and expel members who continue to cede authority to the executive branch.

This reads like a written word Nirvana song (no hate intended). But more optimistic. 
 

I want to believe we’ll cleanse ourselves of this cancer. I’m hedging my bets though.

about those mid term mail in ballots ....

NEW: Trump plans to sign an executive order to overtake the USPS by dissolving its leadership and placing it under his administration. This move would grant them immense power over mail-in ballots, a key target in Republican election fraud rhetoric.

That's the great thing about honky . . . it's for everyone to use.

Actually, someone in here gave me shit about using the term honky a few years ago and they were a member of the liberal cabal.

Since then I've learned that it's best to just say "Fuck You Honky."

Why rely on people in Arkansas to give you avian flu when you can get it so much closer to home and without all of those woke government regulations.

Uh, swing on my some weekend and we'll take a ride through Philly.  Parts of Philly would make for a post-industrial/apocalyptic movie setting.
