The world now knows, without doubt, that the dumbest administration in history is now running the U.S. government.

Sounds very Curtis Yarvin. Tech bros want to take over Greenland.

👀 Praxis is a Thiel-backed “network state” project that aims to build its OWN COUNTRY. In Nov, Praxis founder Dryden Brown wrote about wanting Greenland 4 Praxis. In Dec, Trump named Thiel partner Ken Howery as ambassador to Denmark & said the US shld buy Greenland. Praxis & Dryden are thrilled...1/

To wake them up, I think it is important to push Yarvin's plan out there. Part of the plan is that by the time people wake up, it will be too late to stop it.

Honestly? I think we need to stop being afraid of Yarvin. We've known from almost the start that the courts can't fully stop a takeover like this, they can just delay it. The rest is up to us. All I want from Judge Boasberg is for him to give us as much time as possible to wake Americans up.

My honest perception at this point is that Trump is being used as a vehicle for weird Vance and Curtis Yarvin types who want to use the existing powers of the presidency to establish a tyranny that lets them destroy everybody but the incels and it just happens to align perfectly with Trump's view

Exactly. Anyone unfamiliar with Yarvin and the Butterfly Revolution needs to learn about it. Compare it to what’s happening today. RAGE vs DOGE.
Keep in mind it was written as a playbook for a second Trump presidency.

I’d like to turn blogging into a career.

Like this post if you would be willing to pay $10/month per travel blog post on Substack to make that dream happen.

I'd like to live in a world where all the WaPo staff quit and form their own employee-owned media company.

I'd kinda also like all the federal workers to quit and form a new government, but that's probably dreaming too hard...

How about we take 100% of the responsibility off of employers and adopt an efficient system like the VA. #MedicareforAll would be better for business, too.

Grr, enough of this nonsense. #MedicareforAll should have become law in 2017. There is so much evidence that this actually cuts down on administrative waste & is more efficient. It benefits small and medium sized businesses. Over 50 countries cover everyone & spend half the GDP the US spends.

What if healthcare simply wasn't tied to employment? What if we stopped allowing middlemen to profit off of care that everyone will need at some point in our lives?
