This is one of the more disturbing things I’ve read in a while, and there’s a genocide going on.

It strikes me that this guy and his followers simply never grew up, because they didn’t have to. Instead of being faced with everyday challenges like the rest of us, their money could insulate them from any degree of hardship or friction. When you live a life where literally everything can be solved with your money, and you’re pretty much guaranteed to never run out of it, there’s no motivation for you to empathize with or even understand other people’s points of view, and thus this scary techno-authoritarianism is born.

These are the people who will prevent us from making any socioeconomic progress. They actually want us all to wear colored shirts and be discriminated against based on our color. Their dystopian vision is genuinely the stuff of my nightmares.

By the beard, this is some next-level shit. Imagine listening to his jibber-jabber about Grays and thinking “that sounds like a good idea”?

This new “ruling CEO” class is bloody dangerous.

Here’s an example of a corporation demonstrating positive socio-economic change:

The Basque Country’s Mondragón Corporation is the globe’s largest industrial co-operative, with workers paying for the right to share in its profits – and its losses.

I grew up in Silicon Valley and I can testify what you already know: venture capitalists and tech CEOs are just dumb kids with a lot of money. Many of them landed in their positions by chance alone. We are not obliged to give them more credence than anybody else.

This reads like someone played The Outer Worlds and was like… “You know what?”

Oh look, it’s just fascism again.

Why is it that when these whackos start describing their fascist plans for society, there are people who respond like it’s a groundbreaking concept, some bold new vision of the future? None of this is new, it’s the same old tired goosestepping shit.

This guy sounds like he snorted every 60s-70s sci fi at once and now his goal in life is creating the torment nexus. I had no idea that the CEO of Y Combinator(hacker news?) had “friends” like this?

Billionaire proposes governance system of corporate feudal fascism

The quotes in this article were some of the weirdest fucking things I’ve ever read. Is there something in the water in SF?

What the fuck psycho-babble bullshit did I just read?! Are there not random sharks, orcas or other wildlife in the SF area that are hungry??

After reading, the gist of it seems to be:

• Vanilla far-right indoctrinated dumbo (his vision: “Reds” welcome, “Blues” not, “Anti-Blue Propaganda” on public view screens)
• Wants exploitative capitalism on steroids with companies controlling everyone’s lives completely
• Claims current capitalism is only bad because it’s “woke capitalism” which he claims the “ruling class” is pushing
• Wants tech bros to butter up police and give security staff jobs to their children as a favor, i.e. intentional social classism

.

In short, just another out of touch entrepreneur who sells snake oil cures to people suffering in the current system, so that they may invite in the boot that stomps them down for good.

Silicon Valley needs unions yesterday. Curbing these bros’ enthusiasm via the ballot box alone would be very difficult given the amount of money they can deploy onto politicians. Without workers, they can’t do anything.

The techno-authoritarian Curtis Yarvin-type crowd have been around for a while. We can laugh them off or ignore them, but their biggest believers are billionaire man-children in the Valley and that will undoubtedly come to bear fruit in horrific ways.

“Ethnically cleanse,” he said at one point, summing up his idea for a city purged of Blues (this, he says, will prevent Blues from ethnically cleansing the Grays first).

Conservatives are incredibly fucked up. They can’t fathom coexisting with people who aren’t like them without wanting to “ethnically cleanse” them, so they naturally assume everybody else thinks like this as well

Wtf did I just read

Wait is this not satire?
