What do Greenland, Honduras, Venezuela, and Nigeria have in common? The “network state” cabal—which includes Peter Thiel, Marc Andreessen, & Joe Lonsdale—has been circling them like vultures. 1/

4/Enough of the uncomfortably laughs. We need to stop thinking about this as states interacting with states or through the lens of great power politics.This is not just silly freelancing or Trump being Trump but an effort to rewire the norms of international politics. www.reuters.com/world/europe...

2/There is a multiyear campaign on the part of the tech broligarchy to establish a 'network state' in Greenland similar to what was done in Honduras (Prospera). Trump/Vance are pushing this agenda forward on multiple fronts (see also pardon past Honduran president).

We need to escape the Gernsback Continuum. How @greatdismal.bsky.social 1980s short story anticipates the dreams of Silicon Valley today.

Look, I understand the impulse to continue saying it doesn't make any sense but these people are not very secretive about what they want and why. Their theory of how it will all come together is frequently insane or idiotic but *they think it's achievable* which is why they are doing it.

👀 Praxis is a Thiel-backed “network state” project that aims to build its OWN COUNTRY. In Nov, Praxis founder Dryden Brown wrote about wanting Greenland 4 Praxis.

BREAKING: Trump dodges trade war, citing bone spurs

Hear the sirens.
