7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.

All to plan
Not even. Him and Elon biffed every other form of autocratic guidance that laid out steps to take.
Cutis Yarvin is furious at how incompetent Musk and Torange have been. By 100 days in they should have been drowning journalists in foam. They haven't even hit 50% of Project 2025 progress.
Rank amateur bitches. Can't even do authoritarianism well.
Do they need to succeed?
The Koch brothers already have a new U.S. constitution drafted and a majority of the states they need to call a constitutional convention. They’ve had plans in motion for years.
I think Trump and Musk were always supposed to be the fall guys. But if they break enough, or reveal enough non-working about the current system, the plan we’re not supposed to realize is in play will succeed.
It's actually very interesting you brought this up:
The Koch bro plan was what precipitated Red Stating. It's always been iffy at best because despite their dismantling efforts, they still want to try and do most of their plan legally and through "the system" so it can't seem like it can be easily undone. But the goal is to repeal the 20th century and social gains like civil rights, abortion rights, etc. But here the long term goal is to fully go back in time to 1892 to cosplay robber barons.
The tech brologarchy version is entirely different in its final goal and process, but the interim goal of ending the Republic and repealing the 20th centrury is shared. The difference is that they want to be left alone and have islands of state-level power that they would and can project in a totally re-made world. Despite their hate of "tribalism" they want non-geographic nationality based on...well, tribaliam. All facilitated by AI and blockchain, called decentralized autonomous organizations. They want techno feudalism where they expect everyone to work at an unreasonable, manic level because that's what they do.
In both cases, they truly, honestly believe they're fighting for the side of "good" by wanting people buying from the Praxis or Kochistan company store, working everyone to death to make them as "benevolent" god-men kings more powerful.
Well, shit. I have been operating under the assumption that these were part of the same conspiracy.
But there have been some gaps that link the two things (linking Koch to Thiel on certain things, for instance) that I have assumed were merely gaps due to one party or the other doing better at hiding their involvement. I’ll have to bear what you said in mind as I continue to figure stuff out.
This isn't a conspiracy. This is a well known and widely touted political agenda. They have white papers on this. They give speeches about this. There's entire conferences about this, and not like PAC conferences, I mean like Network State conferences where the founder of Etherium has shifted from Seasteading 10 years ago to now wanting on land autonomous nations.
