They're certainly trying. These assholes are Accelerationists. They seriously want to resey society, but all of THEIR means and wealth, and just buy everything up and be land barrons, revert back to company towns and kingdoms run by billionaires, and so own. They are the exact antithesis to the Founding Father's ideals.
These people need to be charged with treason as soon as you regain power. Also go after the disgusting right wing mouth pieces that push disinformation 24/7.
I personally promise to seize control of the Republic and rule with an iron first, driving all enemies before me in my pursuit of sensible economic systems (socialism)
I call vice-pres. Called it.
Okay, but just so we're clear, everything bad is your fault and I did everything good.
Don't worry, we'll fake the public execution and give you a dacha in the mountains.
Agreed. You got Monica Lewinskys number?
Bro, I gotchu, but unless this is a specific crush we gonna let her keep vibing and bring in a new generation of thots, I don't think she's about that life anymore
God that is terrifying. They want a system where them & their group of tech bros control the economy. At least give Linus Torvalds control.
Why Linus? At least I’d trust Linus, but not Oligarchs & co.
I had this conversation with a coworker yesterday. I feel like I'm now a conspiracy theorist when talking about a lot of current political topics, like a purposeful economic collapse so the rich can obtain more wealth and resources. Then I just keep reading headlines and get proven right.
This feels very relevant.

Yarvin suggests that a would-be American autocrat should campaign on and win an electoral mandate for an authoritarian program. They should purge the federal bureaucracy in a push Yarvin has anagrammatized as Rage (for “retire all government employees”).
They should simply ignore any court rulings that seek to constrain them. They should bring Congress to heel, in part by mobilizing their populist base against recalcitrant lawmakers. And liberal or mainstream media organizations and universities should be summarily closed.
Given the post-election period and Trump’s preparation for a return to the White House, Yarvin’s program seems less fanciful then it did in 2021, when he laid it out for Anton.
In the recording of that podcast, Yarvin offers a condensed presentation of his program which he has laid out on Substack and in other venues.
Midway through their conversation, Anton says to Yarvin, “You’re essentially advocating for someone to – age-old move – gain power lawfully through an election, and then exercise it unlawfully”, adding: “What do you think the actual chances of that happening are?”
Yarvin responded: “It wouldn’t be unlawful,” adding: “You’d simply declare a state of emergency in your inaugural address.”
Yarvin continued: “You’d actually have a mandate to do this. Where would that mandate come from? It would come from basically running on it, saying, ‘Hey, this is what we’re going to do.’”
Trust fund frat bros think they are philosopher kings.
And their AI’s would be their Ministries of Truth, flooding the zone with AI slob 24/7. Effectively silencing the media and creating a Matrix-like veil over reality.
Sounds great /s
