It’s bonkers. Like say what you will about Andrew Carnegie but after getting wealthy beyond compare he built libraries. Thiel and Musk and Ellison have been like “what if we restored the third reich? what if I became Big Brother? what if we ushered in an age of superstition, wouldn’t that be neat”

I want 10,000 words longform on how these drug-addled creeps have all openly embraced literal villainy. Like, the most clownish form of "I want to look evil." This feels different than a lot of their historical predecessors!
