Not even. Him and Elon biffed every other form of autocratic guidance that laid out steps to take.
Cutis Yarvin is furious at how incompetent Musk and Torange have been. By 100 days in they should have been drowning journalists in foam. They haven’t even hit 50% of Project 2025 progress.
Rank amateur bitches. Can’t even do authoritarianism well.
Elon will count that as $3.8 billon that DOGE saved.
This was originally marketed in 2006 as MMS, “Miracle Mineral Supplement.” An insane guy named Jim Humble experimented on people in Cameroon and Uganda with this, claiming it cured literally every disease. HIV/AIDS, malaria, dengue, cancer, meningitis, you name it.
At some point around 2016 even Humble admitted it doesn’t do anything. If you’ve ever maintained a swimming pool you know that you add acid to the water with chlorine to activate it. It’s exactly the same thing in a glass.
While it’s obviously harmful in high concentrations, ultimately, if you drink water with it, it dilutes to the point of being no more harmful than tap water from a large city. Not ideal for gut health long term, but honestly less terrible than eating breakfast cereal every day.
Well, to be fair it’s also proof that people do not value privacy, and that the means by which actual privacy can be obtained are few and narrow.
It also really drives home the fact that our systems of IDs, licensure, taxes, property purchase, etc. are designed for an analog 20th century world. We need new systems based on modern technology, bit not in a way that simply contracts out to the very companies that put us here.
I’ve done OSINT research and that alone converted me into a privacy advocate. Seeing how Alphabet, Meta, and MS have allowed creep to get training data… Whew. It’s breathtaking and complicated beyond the ability to explain in 114 characters.
Y’all, we are cooked. Currently. Present tense. If you aren’t freaked out already, you’re missing about 85% of reality.
He only knows what the last convincing person said to him – IF – IF he’s had a sliver of doubt about Putin’s loyalty to HIM. Putin’s lack of giving T a ceasefire that T needs to appear to accomplish something does that.
What’s funny is T is literally the last person in the country to get to this realization. But hey, maybe he got there, right?
The easy solution is to stop engagement on Lemmy. Cool. Cool cool cool.
This is the correct answer. He famously (so I thought) hates guns.
No, would he have JD or a marshall do it for him? Non-zero chance.
All of this is exactly right. #2 is the least cringe-inducing because of the lumpy bottom.
Is this fork thing an official diagnosis metric? Or just not yet?
I do. I really do.
It’s been a topic of conferences, books, podcasts, and new laws for almost a decade. They have it all in plain sight. Lol, made it up.
Curtis Yarvin has his Butterfly Revolution, which Thiel is all in about. Therefore Musk as well. Of the five pillars of Yarvin’s guide to authoritarianism, the EO about forcing university accreditation to heel is the last one needed to hit them all. Well documented, and the Nerd Reich had a post recently about how Yarvin is mad at how incompetent Trump and Musk are because they’re literally not gasing people to death by now.
A guy named Balaji wrote a book called the Network State that outlines the government that should replace democraticly electing people. Also a podcast, also conferences with folks like the creator of Etherium backing it. He’s been pushing countries to recognize DAOs as legal entities. Wyoming is on board, and Palau and the Marshall Islands have also been receptive as nation level test cases. Network city-states are in the mix as well.
This is the stuff that makes Project 2025 look like quaint kids’ games. However, where they both agree is the idea of repealing the social gains of the 20th century. Civil rights, women’s rights, gone. The goal is techno-fascist fifedoms built around crypto and AI, like Thiel’s investment in Praxis, where broligarchs don’t just have money, they control the force and violence of the state, which is something that money can’t just buy.
This is 100% it.
All I want is a modular car system. Everything modular. Dashboard. Body panels. Whatever. I want 3+ cars possible on one frame, and to not need anything more than basic tools to swap parts around.
“Power creates power. The more power you weild, the more you accumulate.”
Way over-thinking it.
Europe and Japan 10-15 years ago all had radios with 4x6 inch no-touch displays for pre-loaded GPS with no internet connection. They switch to backup cameras when in reverse.
America doesn’t need to invent anything here, this is old technology widely used by large parts of the rest is the world.
Europe and Japan had backup cameras with no touchscreen on cars 10-15 years ago. The radio head unit just switches from a small 4x6 inch LCD display to back up camera when in reverse.
IIRC, the plan was:
AAAAAHHHHHHHHHH! AH! AH! AH! AHHHHHH! AH! OH SHIT! OH GOD, THIS SUCKS, NO NO NO NO! FUCK. OK, THINK…THINK, AH! THINKING HURTS! NO THINK! ALL IS MY ENEMY! NHILISTIC ACCELERATIONISM FUELED BY SELF-LOATHING! UH…UH…AAAAAHHHHH!
Wait…wait…OK. OK…just… OK, just calm…just… AAAAHHHH! AHHHHHHHHHH!
Or, like, maybe they’re just making it up as they go or something. Whatever.
This is the face of having regular movements and suddenly missing one.
The rest of your day is ruined, wondering if you might die and never poop again, what you did wrong to anger the BM gods, did you eat a whole loaf of bread yesterday? No… WHY? Where did your poop go?
Then you shit double the next day and the relief washes over you like you’ve been born again, rising from the ashes.
What a coward bitch.
Y’all, one of the far-reaching Broligarchy ideas they’re hoping emerges from the ashes of the United States is the DAO, decentralized autonomous organization.
Every action in the block chain. They facilitate, and are predicated on, the idea of treating every aspect of life as a social network. Everything you do is recorded. So daily life ends up incentived toward constant, persistent, corralled engagement. The Network State is the term.
The difference is that you can’t build a society on the mechanics of the tobacco industry. But you can on a human reaction industry.
An app where all you end up recording is “Bro! Bro! Bro! Broseeeeph! Let’s gooooooo, Bro!”
