Streisand effect: I had never heard of the “network state” until now. Uh, thanks for being such an asshole, Zuck!
I just found out like a week ago. Look up techno feudalism. Apparently these guys have been talking about it for a long time.

There's a whole video that blew up a couple weeks ago about this. Highly recommend you watch it.

Next Reddit will start banning you for upvoting anything about it.
Please share this document far and wide. People need to understand what's going on, to stop it.
It's fascist city states that market themselves as tax free libertarian, likely hedonistic. Tech has little (maybe ultra deregulated healthcare) to do with anything other than billionaires who came from tech get to decide who is allowed in. This is a model in Israel and Arab kingdoms with less hedonism, but high slavery levels.
The US is definitely on path to collapse. Current administration is accelerating it. Gifting federal lands to become tax havens is setting it to 11.
Many of these tech bros also talk about an actual solution: Freedom dividends. High tax libertarianism with freedom for all. Power redistribution. Don't compete for jobs we can't do as well as China or robots. Or spend on/promote war. Freedom dividends ends crimes and makes fair labour markets. Fascism and slavery as the "libertarian utopian phoenix from ashes of US" is going to be straight mad max fascism and slavery instead of utopia.
Just double checked, and it's archive both on org and is. That's good.

This man has a bunker and everything. He's scared shitless and he is ready to hide. Their assets need to be seized and accounts drained
That's not a joke, ALL these dudes have extensive doomsday prep. Secure facilities, staffed and stocked. There's a ton of reporting on it. They're gonna fare a LOT better than we are if shit gets really outta hand. Unless we do something about them before it gets to that point, anyway.
Edit: added a detail
They are going to get killed by their own militias

Imagine just letting him be in his bunker, but you park a cement truck on top of the door.

His bunker on a Hawaiian Island. Dude really wants to be far away from everything when shit pops off.
What I'm hearing is that after we overthrow the government and Destroy capitalism we have to dig him out of a bunker in Hawaii and put him on trial
dig him out of a bunker in Hawaii and put him on trial
Just weld the door closed. Problem solved.

Or, hold a trial, and if convicted, we seal him in his bunker and bury it and cut it off from all outside contact. And depending on the severity of his conviction, plugging up every "air hole" could go along as capital punishment. Give him a very twilight zone ending, he wanted to hide in his bunker, and now he'll spend the rest of his life in it, however long that may be.

The native Hawaiians should reclaim their land he stole so he doesn't have a bunker anymore

Of course they are. They'll ban discussion of democracy next, and then voting.
We edge closer to Weyland-Yutani hegemony every day, only the IRL technocrats will be stupider and greedier
I associate it with "The Space Merchants" and their corporate congress.
It's a really good book written in 1952 and talks about climate change, rampant corporate greed, synthetic meat... Really good read.

We are already living in a country being run by Elon Musk.
Peter thiel* is a bigger puppet master, he just doesn't want to be the face. He wants the world to collapse so he can rebuild it into his techno feudalism dream. This is all to plan

Delete your facebook products.
If you know someone who works at facebook, try to convince them to leave.
If you see someone who's in a leadership position at Facebook bleeding out, perhaps after a car accident because their brakes were sabotaged, let them die.

Shut down and delete your data on your US tech accounts. Their business's are worthless without our accounts.
It's a process, start today! With the easy ones and work towards the hard ones.

Corporations can't even run corporations well. That's one of the lessons we should've took from 2008.

To be fair, American democracy was replaced with corporate Government a long long time ago.

The Network State is just feudalism updated to accommodate a new set of vile and toxic elitist shitheads.
Pay no attention to the man-child behind the curtain.

Just another reason to abandon social networks owned by big tech companies and moving to decentralized open source social networks.
Hrmm. I wonder why they would censor such a conspiratorial idea? Unless...
