:o Sadly, Matthew, part of these things are based on the previous understanding of things like Henry Ford's "Fordlandia" experiment, among many other things. While "exaggerated for effect", I can assure you that what seems "cartoonish" and "unbelievable" is grounded in horrors difficult to accept.

Jo Ann Allen Boyce's life was disrupted not only by standard-issue US white supremacy, but also by a particularly virulent strain of American fascism. School integration in Clinton, TN began fairly peaceably, until a neo-Nazi associate of George Lincoln Rockwell named John Kaspar showed up.

It's not like white people in Tennessee needed a neo-Nazi from NY to convince them to think and act in racist ways toward their Black neighbors. But in a situation where white people were getting multiple messages, that Nazi came into town and amplified peoples' most hateful & violent impulses.

I just found out about the town of Fordlândia in Brazil. Established by Henry Ford as a company town for producing latex for rubber products in Ford's vehicles, it's a great testament to the power of hubris. Fucksake! Absolutely amazing.
It never produced any latex for use in Ford's vehicle […]

Network state. SOUTH AMERICA. Like FORDLANDIA but in Venezuela instead of Brazil! 📢🇺🇸🆘🆘🆘🆘🆘🆘🆘
People keep wondering why they're going after Venezuela. It's because they want to do regime change and control its oil, then use a big tract of land there to keep a tax free "network state" that looks like Dubai but operates like Rhodesia. They are saying this out loud! Believe them!

I would say this because I edited it but @mshannahmurphy.bsky.social's piece on tech bros founding their own for-profit cities really is unmissable reading www.ft.com/content/b127...
Tech elites are starting their own for-profit cities
They want to escape from regulation and ‘failing’ democracy — but are they more opportunistic than libertarian?

I never thought we would see another utopian urban mess like Brasilia or Fordlandia, but we have even bigger ones like Neom and Nusantara which are respectively dying and weakening.
I want to reread Oath of Fealty (1981) and see how well all the libertarian ideas sit now.
