California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) is striking back at Trump after the president backed a call for the governor's arrest after LA erupted in anti-ICE protests.
Trump is backed by billionaires whose new model for America is a bunch of distributed states, with different areas that are ruled by those billionaires who will become monarchs.
That’s what the Behind the Bastards episode on Curtis Yarvin said.
I watched CBS or some outfit like that try to interview Curtis and dig deeper on the guy.
And all I could think is - JFC, the right is terrible at finding someone with even a smidge of coherent thinking. Curtis Yarvin is exactly the type of dipshit I thought he might be given what I was hearing about the guy. I remember way back when, Sam Harris interviewed that other total dumbass masquerading as some kind of vanguard for rightwing intellectualism: Jordan Peterson. And watching Curtis was a lot like that - a total hot mess and just infuriating to watch/listen to.
All I could think about either of them is - just who the fuck is worshipping these assholes? They both come off like incoherent dumbfucks that apparently didn’t learn or understand critical thinking, don’t really seem to understand anything about philosophy (but sure claim to) and generally come off as someone maybe a freshman during a bong session might consider very deep, but just faceplant when confronted by anyone with even a modicum of understanding of these things - see Jordan Peterson’s recent bellyflop when “debating” those atheists. Holy fuck is he an idiot.
Curtis somehow seems even stupider than Jordan Peterson.
Things are on course for America to become the America depicted in 1/2 White or Black. The Chicago seen in there is a chaotic city state where the whole populace is trying to rob and kill each other off.
The US in there was only pulled out of a nuclear civil war by some extraterrestrial-loving religious dudes.

Isn’t this just… feudalism
Yes, but add Techno to the front in the worst way possible.
It’s way cooler if you add techno to the beginning of all the things. Technofeudalism. Technogarchy (ok maybe not that one). Technofascism.
Technoligarchy was RIGHT THERE
Damnit lol
It was so right there, that my brain autocorrected their comment to read as such.
Technoautocorrect
Technoguillotines
See? That’s badass
Where is my cyberpunk french revolutionpunk rpg setting crossover??
Expedition 33?
Whoa! Thanks for the recommendation, looks sick.
Imagine feudalism but with modern surveillance, propaganda and technology.
America is in for a rough decade.
Only a decade?
Corporate feudalism.
