During a different time, that humanity made a deal with something big. It would give humanity all the techniques necessary for endless power, and in exchange it would receive a portion of the consequences. So humanity exploited, waged war, and grew.
This deal was not a conscious decision. Rather, it was made collectively and unconsciously in the mind of every person. Reinforced each time suffering was used to benefit oneself. It was all the more potent when suffering was ignored despite being known. No one even needed to realize what they were doing, simply that they continued participating in it.
Eventually humanity was shown knowledge about splitting atoms. What seemed like innocent tests on Earth in pursuit of this power's potential, were not so innocent, as humanity failed to realize when atoms are split it also splits every other atom quantumly entangled to it. This quickly attracted attention from others.
But instead of listening and changing, humanity chose to bring the same exploitation, war, and suffering to the stars. Justified by a single word, "defense," and paradoxically enacted by unimaginable new weapons, all bestowed by the now well-fed dealmaker. These did not just destroy in the present, but temporally eradicated life.
Eventually somethings stopped the onslaught and bound humanity to Earth, imprisoning them here with magical chains and incomprehensible technologies. A just punishment for such sins, a desperate attempt to sever humanity from its deal, and an effort to save whatever remained.
The greatest irony is when people look up to space and wonder, "where is everyone?", that absence of life is a result of humanity's own doing even if none remember. And yet, the mystery of Earth's loneliness drives the species back toward the endless power they subconsciously crave. More exploitation, more war, more suffering, and for what? To benefit something that can never be satisfied.
"gender critical" is such a funny term for people who base their whole identity around unquestioningly enforcing the gender binary they were raised with. the patriarchy set up a binary and you're like "I will defend the sanctity of this social construct in the name of feminism" Absolute clown shoes. Imagine a tradcath calling themself "religion critical"
US is absolutely cooked with these tariffs. Really speedrunning Great Depression and Weimar Republic. Can't wait to beg for bread and spend $100 on toothpaste.
The only ethical recourse is if we the people give up on pacifism and centrism and start speedrunning French and Bolshevik Revolutions
A pessimism that becomes a fatalism, a fatalism that becomes a nihilism, a nihilism that blunts the ability to empathize. Itâs as much about the attitude toward the world as anything else.
Gotta disagree with this. We should not only prioritize cruelty towards the intolerant, but understand it as necessary to maintain a truly tolerant society where the diversity of humanity can flourish or we'll cycle right back to exactly where we are now. It's literally called the Paradox of Tolerance and as leftists we need to foster a greater respect for it.
Why Musk and Other Tech Execs Want as Many Babies as Possible | WSJ
These people are sick. The mom, Simone, is on a treadmill with an AR-15 prominently displayed on the wall behind her. They have an embryo they claim is in the 99th percentile for âintelligenceâ and they call it âthe championâ.
This movement is  thinly veiled eugenics with rich tech people trying to breed superior children to rule over serfs. Elon is a very poor physical specimen and clearly suffers from mental illness and has a predisposition to drug addiction. The couple that founded this movement are not good physical specimens either, scrawny and with poor vision. They clearly are susceptible to cult indoctrination.Â
These people are practicing ârevenge of the cradle.â The French in Quebec province did this in the last century to boost their shrinking numbers and reclaim their political power. What these oligarchs, tech CEOs, and Christian Nationalists are doing is the same thing only they are hoping to maintain a healthy  white majority in the population.
When Elon says that birth rates are declining to the point there wonât be enough workers to sustain his business empire, well that tells you everything you need to know about this drunken, Ketamine addict. The oligarch and CEO class believe they are descendants of the pharaohs and kings of the past and they have a divine right to rule over the rest of us. They state it openly to anyone who will listen.
Yes, Peter Thiel was the senatorâs benefactor. But theyâre both inspired by an obscure software developer who has some truly frightening tho
In 2008, a software developer in San Francisco named Curtis Yarvin, writing under a pseudonym, proposed a horrific solution for people he deemed ânot productiveâ: âconvert them into biodiesel, which can help power the Muni buses.â
Yarvin, a self-described reactionary and extremist who was 35 years old at the time, clarified that he was âjust kidding.â But then he continued, âThe trouble with the biodiesel solution is that no one would want to live in a city whose public transportation was fueled, even just partly, by the distilled remains of its late underclass. However, it helps us describe the problem we are trying to solve. Our goal, in short, is a humane alternative to genocide.â
He then concluded that the âbest humane alternative to genocideâ is to âvirtualizeâ these people: Imprison them in âpermanent solitary confinementâ where, to avoid making them insane, they would be connected to an âimmersive virtual-reality interfaceâ so they could âexperience a rich, fulfilling life in a completely imaginary world.â
Yarvinâs disturbing manifestos have earned him influential followers, chief among them: tech billionaire Peter Thiel and his onetime Silicon Valley protĂŠgĂŠ Senator J.D. Vance, whom the Republican Party just nominated to be Donald Trumpâs vice president. If Trump wins the election, there is little doubt that Vance will bring Yarvinâs twisted techno-authoritarianism to the White House, and one can imagineâwith horrorâwhat a receptive would-be autocrat like Trump might do with those ideas.
Trumpâs first campaign was undoubtedly a watershed moment for authoritarianism in American politics, but some thinkers on the right had been laying the groundwork for years, hoping for someone to mainstream their ideas. Yarvin was one of them. Way back in 2012, in a speech on âHow to Reboot the US Government,â he said, âIf Americans want to change their government, theyâre going to have to get over their dictator phobia.â He had also written favorably of slavery and white nationalists in the late 2000s (though he has stated that he is not a white nationalist himself).
Vance is a Thiel creation. And like his billionaire benefactorâwho once wrote, âI no longer believe that freedom and democracy are compatibleââVance embraces a radical ideology hell-bent on destroying government as we know it. And they got these ideas, at least in part, from Yarvin.
Yarvin is the chief thinker behind an obscure but increasingly influential far-right neoreaction, or NRx, movement, that some call the âDark Enlightenment.â Among other things, it openly promotes dictatorships as superior to democracies and views nations like the United States as outdated software systems. Yarvin seeks to reengineer governments by breaking them up into smaller entities called âpatchworks,â which would be controlled by tech corporations.
âThe basic idea of Patchwork is that, as the crappy governments we inherited from history are smashed, they should be replaced by a global spiderweb of tens, even hundreds, of thousands of sovereign and independent mini-countries, each governed by its own joint-stock corporation without regard to the residentsâ opinions,â he wrote in Patchwork: A Political System for the 21st Century.
Each patchwork would be ruled by a ârealmâ: a corporation with absolute power. Citizens would be free to move, but every other realm would also be ruled by corporate governments with chilling impunity. For example, Yarvin says the tech overlords of the San Francisco realm could arbitrarily decide to cut off its citizensâ hands with no fear of legal consequencesâbecause theyâre a sovereign power, beholden to no federal government or laws.
He predicted Trump would run again and win, then offered some advice: âI think that what Trump should do, if I was giving him one piece of advice: Fire every single midlevel bureaucrat, every civil servant in the administrative state, replace them with our people.â He added that Trump should defy any court orders that tried to halt this partisan purge of the civil service.
Yarvin calls this plan RAGE: Retire All Government Employees. Itâs captured perfectly in Project 2025, the Heritage Foundationâs blueprint for a second Trump administration, which calls for firing an estimated 500,000 federal employees and dismantling entire agencies. If Trump wins, Vance may well be in charge of executing the plan.
Vance did not get this extremist ideology from his Appalachian upbringing orâneedless to sayâYale Law. It was incubated in Americaâs tech capital, San Francisco, where he forged crucial ties with Thiel, Yarvin, and David Sacks, the longtime Thiel associate and pro-Putin crusader who recently hosted a Trump fundraiser at his mansion in Pacific Heights. And if Vance ends up in the White House, it will be with $45 million in monthly campaign contributions from Musk, who already made a $44 billion in-kind contribution by gutting San Francisco-based Twitter and transforming it into a right-wing misinformation weapon.
