AnarchoNinaAnalyzesI've made no secret of the fact that I think the nazi "broligarch" cultists who brought Trump to power, and support the creation of monarchal, technofeudalist city states under a variety of names (Network States, and Freedom Cities most prominently) are working on a larger, dystopian plan for literal authoritarian global domination; a plan that encompasses and revolves around the destruction of democratic structures, the implementation of digital fascist surveillance and repression via AI technology, the adoption of quasi-religious beliefs about our future as exemplified by the TESCREAL movement, and even the fascist plan to remake America into a type of dictatorship under Trump proposed by "neo-reactionary scholar" Curtis Yarvin, also known as The Butterfly Revolution. Taken together, the proponents of these ideas, who are often quite wealthy and influential people in our society and in particular the tech industry, have dubbed their ideology "Dark Enlightenment" which should give you at least some idea of both how obnoxious these rich fascists are, but also how far-reaching their plans ultimately go. Furthermore, I am certain that this isn't just some weird conspiracy theory for three key reasons. First, the billionaire fascists have more or less told us their plans in the open. Secondly, since buying themselves a president, a small group of hyper-reactionary billionaires led by the world's richest nazi, Elon Musk, have more or less guided the Trump regime to act in countless ways that directly facilitate their obscene visions for the future of humanity. Finally of course, there are quantifiable structural reasons why what these nazi cultist billionaires are proposing represents one of the only possible futures in which most of the planet maintains capitalism and free market fundamentalist ideology. After all, the planet is on fire, billions of people's lives are at stake if we don't act collectively to address climate crisis, and capitalism is the culprit causing both our impending destruction and our refusal to act; either capitalism and free market fundamentalism go to their graves, or billions of everyday people do, and these billionaire nazis know that. Folks aren't going to keep supporting a capitalist order that's killing them as the bodies pile up, so if you're going to keep doing capitalism for the benefit of an increasingly smaller ruling class, even as it leads to genocides all around us, you're going to need a political system that provides the necessary degree of surveillance, repression, and applied force to maintain control even as society disintegrates in real time - and that political system is going to look a lot like fascism, no matter what they choose to call it.Despite their rhetoric about "the future" and their love of technology, the truth is the ideas and plans folks like Peter Thiel, Elon Musk, and Marc Andreessen (to name a few) are proposing to accomplish their goals, are old, decrepit, and often utterly disproven. As a species, we have already learned the horrible outcomes of adopting repugnant ideas like eugenics, feudalism, and fascism as enforced policy; and yet here today these ideas are being repackaged and renamed as the only hope for our future, by a billionaire nazi ruling class determined to rewind our society into the darkest days of our collective past. Down that road leads subjugation, violence, and death; which is probably why it appeals to rich nazis who value "artificial minds" (and labor) over human beings, and are preparing for a world where billions of people are "surplus" to their requirements as techno-feudalist overlords. To demonstrate this last point, let's look at a piece by J.J. Anselmi writing in The New Republic that identifies a new (old) way to look at the Network States/Freedom cities plan being pushed by Balaji Srinivasan and his ultra wealthy backers; as the author notes, at its core a "Network State" or "Freedom City" is really just a big company town:<a href="https://archive.is/9B2ZI" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://archive.is/9B2ZI</a>Trump’s “Freedom Cities” Are a Devious Scam"Tech bros love to repackage old ideas as innovation. We’ve all seen it. But their latest foray into disruption no one else wants, the so-called “network state” and its constellation of start-up cities, deserves our attention. This notion has been embraced by President Donald Trump, who has rechristened them “freedom cities.” In reality, the scheme is a techno-fascist vision of the future that’s been quietly but persistently pushed and funded by billionaires such as Peter Thiel, Marc Andreessen, Brian Armstrong, and Sam Altman for years. Despite the shiny marketing materials for places like Próspera and California Forever, which make outlandish promises of futuristic utopias, the start-up city as a concept is a modern, ketamine-infused repackaging of something that flopped into obsolescence long ago: the company town."<a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Fascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Fascism</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Trump</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Dystopia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Dystopia</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Billionaires" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Billionaires</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Musk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Musk</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/NetworkState" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NetworkState</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/FreedomCities" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FreedomCities</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/CompanyTown" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CompanyTown</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AI</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/BigTech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BigTech</a>

Nonya Bidniss :CIAverified:Here's what's going to happen when our services are privatized. First, some services will just be gone. Public good services that aren't seen as profitable will be gone. That's things like Social Security. Why would a billionaire get involved with that? They'll just steal the existing funds and shut it down. Second, services that we already paid for with our taxes, which could be monetized, like NOAA, we'll still pay for but we'll pay lots more and we'll pay it monthly like a cable company. We'll end up with a whole list of new service "subscriptions" for everything from the weather to schools. And our taxes will NOT go down because we'll still be paying for billionaires and mega corps to pay NO taxes just like we do now, while the government continues to operate things like the DOD (which will itself be pared down, sold off in parts, and augmented with billionaire-owned privateers). This new country the billionaires want is a return to feudalism in which you will owe your liege lords all kinds of money every month while scrabbling to keep your families alive, with all the "services for the public good" gone. <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/coup" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#coup</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/corrupion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#corrupion</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/networkState" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#networkState</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/darkEnlightenment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#darkEnlightenment</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/fascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fascism</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/feudalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#feudalism</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/authoritarianism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#authoritarianism</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/kleptocracy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#kleptocracy</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/kakistocracy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#kakistocracy</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/oligarchy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#oligarchy</a>

In 2009, it funded the beginning of <a href="https://c.im/tags/Ephemerisle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Ephemerisle</a>, a weeklong floating art party/group living/Burning Man-style experiment in the Sacramento Delta.California Forever denies any connection to the Network State. So I'm sure it's just a coincidence that Sramek sees Thiel as his main hero and, like Thiel, Sramek is also trying to create new tech-governed cities. And it's another coincidence that Andreessen and Thiel are funding a company to invest in these cities around the world. And it's yet another coincidence that Srinivasan – the main Network State guy – is advising Andreessen and Thiel. <a href="https://www.thenerdreich.com/california-forever-has-a-major-pr-problem-hes-the-ceo/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.thenerdreich.com/california-forever-has-a-major-pr-problem-hes-the-ceo/</a>
