Key thing to remember is: They want these fascist fortress cities because *they believe existing nations are going to collapse*
These are escape hatches for a post-democracy world they seek to create. I would argue that they have gotten much farther than they should have. See: DOGE, crypto, etc

The Financial Times finally covers the Network State cult.
Is this tech fascism?
"I mean,we are funding companies that will operate non-democratic cities...and if you're not into that you shouldn't move there," says Peter Thiel protégé Patri Friedman.

The origin of the US current ail.
The US South lost the war but won the peace. While the Confederacy was defeated militarily, many of its social, political, and racial hierarchies were restored or preserved during Reconstruction and the decades that followed.

In case you're wondering what people mean when they talk about "white woman tears", here is Exhibit A
@timmiller.bsky.social: "He's being nominated to HHS Secretary…You had information that you could have shared…and you didn't share anything about him. Why? Did you still love him?"

People need to start understanding that the Trump admin does not need Congress for anything. They have control of the systems that make money move. They have access to your data. They have everything. The goal of DOGE was not to cut costs. It was to take operational control of the U.S.
Musk's people infiltrated the GSA technology arm early on and demanded root-level access to computer systems, trying to circumvent normal security procedures. Here's one example where they pushed so hard they forced someone to resign rather than give in.
Why did they do this?

every single person in this story is a monster but the only one I have seen sustained defenses of is Nuzzi and I think everyone doing so needs to sit with the fact that her absolute mockery of the entire concept of journalism has a large and growing body count

You don’t have to like Nuzzi or approve of her conduct to understand that Lizza’s choice to publish the material that he is publishing is meant to sexually humiliate her in public in retaliation for disappointing him romantically. The term for that is revenge porn.

The juxtaposition actually is crazy. A 34 year old first time mayor and the POTUS, and Zohran is just lapping him. How embarrassing.
Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani:
“I have spoken about the Israeli government committing genocide and I’ve spoken about our government funding it.”
Pres. Trump:
“I think he’s different than your typical guy… I think you have a chance to really make (NYC) great… you’re going to have a really great...

One of the most dead on quotes from a U.S President. Obama broke their brains fr.
"If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you."

one of the big lessons re conservatives and especially conservative christians is that they are more satisfied by being comparatively better off than others rather than being better off in absolute terms.
they’re perfectly happy to lose if you lose more.

This is an accidentally honest answer. What she's saying in code is:
"The President is a misogynist, petulant bully. You've all seen him be a misogynist, petulant bully. And lots of voters out there are also misogynist or petulant or bullies and that's why they like him."

Q: What did the president mean when he called a reporter "piggy"?
LEAVITT: Look, the president is very frank & honest with everyone in this room. You'll all seen it yourself. You've all experienced it yourselves. And I think it's one of the many reasons the American people reelected this president
