It’s the vision Musk’s grandfather—the Canadian leader of the 1930s fascist group “Technocracy Inc.”—had for North America: a continent-wide dictatorship run by elite white men. After his group was banned in the 40s, he got very excited about the founding of Apartheid South Africa. So he moved there
The Technate Technocracy looked for large areas with bountiful resources to enable self sufficiency. A Technate is practically a large body of land governed by a technocracy that only needs minimal trade. 291 Technocrats had a strong belief in continentalism. 51] Scott mentioned that in the case of forming a North American Technate would be like forming a federation or union under the guidance of technocracy. Areas engaging in continentalism are the U.S.S.R and the European Union. Elon Musk's grandfather, the late Joshua Haldeman, spent his time ranting about minority groups he didn't like, speculating about a global conspiracy led by shadowy figures (read: Jewish people), and joining the cause of technocracy. According to a deep dive from the Atlantic on the life of Haldeman, the Canadian chiropractor was a "radical conspiracy theorist" who spent the beginning of his career as part of a group known as "Technocracy Incorporated." The movement had a bizarre set of principles: They believed that the world should be run by a totalitarian regime of engineers and scientists based in North America; that these tech overlords would solve all of society's problems; and that people only had to work 20 years before retiring. The organization also referred to people as numbers (apparently, Musk's grandfather was 10450-1) and sometimes added Xs to their names. Followers donned identical gray clothing and cars and greeted each other with special salutes, the Atlantic found. A newspaper cited by the magazine said the group gave off "the tone of an incipient Fascist movement." Canada eventually banned the party after it opposed the country's involvement in World War Il and considered it and its members a threat to national security. Haldeman was arrested and convicted for his participation, the Atlantic reported. This kickstarted his involvement in other movements, including Canada's Social Credit Party, which espoused baseless conspiracy theories about Jewish people. The party came to be widely criticized for its blatant antisemitism. Haldeman, who became the SCP national chair, took it upon himself to defend the party's I studied across hundreds of documents from the time, including newspaper clips, self-published manuscripts, university archives, and private correspondence. Haldeman believed that apartheid South Africa was destined to lead "White Christian Civilization" in its fight against the "International Conspiracy" of Jewish bankers and the "hordes of Coloured people" they controlled. "Instead of the Government's attitude keeping me out of South Africa, it had precisely the opposite effect-it encouraged me to come and settle here," he told a reporter for the South African newspaper Die Transvaler shortly after his arrival. The far-right Afrikaner newspaper treated Haldeman's arrival as a PR victory for apartheid. ("PRAISES ACTION OF NATIONALIST PARTY REGIME: Canadian Politician Settles in South Africa," the headline read.) Later in SA, Haldeman wrote a regular newspaper column. Haldeman blamed the "collectivist-internationalist" conspiracy-"from Kennedy to Kenyatta" —for "centralized health schemes" that include national health insurance and various pharmaceuticals including fluoride in the water, another conspiracy), all of which he considered "anti-Christian infringements on human liberties." If some people were not alarmed by all of this, he wrote, it was because of mind control. "When a Christian subscribes to this, it is the result of the concentrated, intentional brain-washing done by the International Conspiracy." Submitting to national health care was one way the conspirators were allowing "Black or Coloured political puppets" to take "control of responsible White people." The Conspiracy, he warned, controls universities, medical schools, and even textbooks. "The Conspiracy feels that any medical intervention, so long as it is in mass, is a desirable procedure." Above all, "The promoters of World Government have always been behind mass vaccination programmes."

Was reminded of the French proverb “petit à petit l'oiseau fait son nid” today (little by little the bird builds his nest). Positive changes can take a long time and everyday actions can feel tiny and pointless but over time they add up.

Maybe helpful to keep in mind on the first work day in 2026.

After buying it for $18.8 billion, Walgreens' new private equity owner has eliminated paid holidays for all hourly workers on Christmas and New Year's.

Last year, Walgreens had a CEO-to-Worker pay gap of 410 to 1.

The Chinese tariffs on Australian beef only applies to supply that exceeds the agreed upon quotas, not to all our beef exports. For many years, Australian exporters have been exceeding that quota, so it seems reasonable that China takes steps to address that. The tariffs also apply to US and Brazil.
