what maga doesn't understand is that no one actually gives a fuck what they think, including the scumbag vulture bloatligarch nazis they worship and vote for, as evidenced by the fact that these nazi policies are harming the broke uneducated bumpkin maga cultist just as much as everyone else

Yeah and the article doesn’t mention it, yet MAGAts are funding it

It’s the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_Enlightenment

Movement. They don’t just want some private cities. They want the full collapse of nations to turn into kingdoms run by billionaires.

Funding maga is just a small part of Peter thiel’s plan

And there’s a reason he’s always been so buddy buddy with JD Vance who is now the vice president

Aah, yes. Now THIS is the cyberpunk dystopian dream, folks! Total corporate control over every aspect of your lives. What's not to like? /s

Do we get bionic legs and cyber memory decks in this exchange? 🤔could be fun.

They've said that it depends on the fiefdom. In some kingdoms, depending on their lords' whims, they could have complete body autonomy over their subjects bodies. So they'd probably be able to do this without bothering with things like human trials or scientific ethics.

Bro was trying to go the Mr. House route with the country. For those that haven't played the game, that's a verrrrryyyyyy bad thing, no matter what people on the internet say.

People get surprisingly angry about something no one would force them to participate in.

...yet.

It's Ayn Rand's wet dream, come to life. Just give it a minute, and they'll have both parties thinking this is a great idea, that needs to be implemented everywhere.
