And it gets worse. Since I saw this I’ve been sharing it everywhere:

In 2008, a software developer in San Francisco named Curtis Yarvin, writing under a pseudonym, proposed a horrific solution for people he deemed “not productive”: “convert them into biodiesel, which can help power the Muni buses.”

These people are the worst people in the world and you are correct that they have seduced all the psychopaths who are tech people. It really is all bullshit so don’t forget that but they really do want to have dependent people die and the rest to be their slaves.

Many times in the last few weeks I have given my opinion on calls to my Republican-MAGA House Rep Kevin Kiley: Americans do not want the Republican & the Trump Regime’s idea of 'Psuedo Democracy ' . You Republicans scream ' don't call us Fascists! . Well you-Republican Congressional members are even worse- you hide behind the title of being a Republican- when in truth you support & strive for a malefic mix of totalitarian+Fascist+"Techno Nazi+ Christian Nationalism type of government.

Thank you, Jack for bringing up the banal horror that’s Yarvin. Thiel with his Dark Enlightenment (Google it) is a furthering of Yarvin’s goals.

The tech ‘lords’ are in lock step with Christian nationalists since they’ll both benefit if we let our Democratic Constitutional Republic die.

We, Jack’s followers are, if not on the front lines, warriors fighting to retain our Democracy from these authoritarians.

If you haven’t already please share Jacks’ essays on all your social platforms and discuss this with friends and family.

Jack, I’m grateful you’re on our side leading and educating as you go. 💙

Jack, you'll have to pardon my language in my response, but Yarvin is proof of there being such a thing as an "educated idiot!" Who the hell does this tech bastard think he is? I've heard of him for quite some time and have studied his warped-assed philosophies.

Why the hell does he, or any of the billionaires he's influencing think that just because they were born with silver spoons in their mouths, and were able to expand upon that, that this gives them the right to exert domain over the rest of humanity? This is fucking rediculous! I know the analogy of, "money talks and shit walks," but these MFers pull their pants on a leg at a time just like we middle class people. Not everyone has the opportunity to be born wealthy and have the rest of their lives paved in currency. Why does not being so "lucky" make any of the rest of us any less of a human being than the billionaires? It's bullshit!

I retired as a member of senior leadership of a Fortune 100 U.S. corporation. And, trust me, running a country like a corporation IS NOT where things need to go. The politics, back-biting, etc., is not conducive to living as we all expect to live!

Honestly, I see Yarvin as being ground zero, or the "Typhoid Marvin" of where we are today. In a treason investigation, his ass would be the first one I would go after. And, if treason is punishable by death, then his head should become a pair of wings on both sides of his neck! Fuck this bullshit and fuck Curtis Yarvin!

Finally someone brings this punk to light. He is so dangerous and caused so much damage yet portrays himself as a simple philosopher. His name needs to be known as a destroyer by the majority of people (unlikely, average people poo poo his ideas). You mentioned Andreesen. His hedge fund, which I think theil is involved, took an ownership stake in Substack. That doesn’t bode well for this platform. There are already bots and attacks on users not getting updates and even withdrawing their memberships. Maybe the early signs of suppression could be an idea for a piece. Love your work.

It's discouraging when the worst person in the world is joined by another worst person in the world.

There are three basic models of governance - open, closed, and random. Authority belongs in each one differently- open to law, closed to the boss, and random to the active. Yarvin is random. Random in power.
