So much of the reactionary tech elite and rationalist movements' views, epitomized in Elon Musk, are indistinguishable from Calhounism. Here is Calhoun's famous 1948 speech arguing that Jefferson's assertion that "all men are created equal" was wrong. teachingamericanhistory.org/document/spe...

Finally, we should abolish the Electoral College so that every American's vote for president counts equally. Oh, and let's make DC, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, Guam, and American Samoa states with actual fucking representation in Congress and the right to vote for president .... 3//4

entirely not the point here because we're standing at the banks of the Rubicon in terms of foreign policy psychosis but if Greenland becomes the 51 state before Puerto Rico, Guam, Samoa, or the Mariana or Virgin Islands, I'm going to lose my mind.

like compulsory prayer during a brief daily curfew [1st amendment] or a host being responsible for acts of a guest [equal protection]. The U. S. constitution has restrictions on all incorporated territory (American Samoa is unincorporated), and restricts the powers of states.

Not an expert! I've read that American Samoa sees advantages in NOT being covered by the existing U. S. constitution. Specifically, land ownership is largely communal and there are Samoan-based (racial) restrictions [14th amendment]. +

they're literally insanely good. they're so outrageously decadent. objectively i could eat more thin mints, but the experience of a samoa cookie....
the adventurefuls are somehow even more sickly and decadent than the samoas, though, and it's ridiculous.

Make D.C. a state, make Puerto Rico a state if they want it, offer to combine our pacific islands (Guam, American Samoa, the Marianas) into a single state for the purpose of representation if they want it (or three territories, if they want that).

#TechnocracyMovement. Elon Musk's grandfather, a POS just like him (it runs on the family), was part of it. One of their hideous goals, an utopian "North America Technate" covering from Greenland to, wait for it.... Venezuela (including Samoa Islands). Coincidence?

What a slap in the face to the residents of DC, Puerto Rico, US Virgin Islands, American Samoa and other territories we govern. He would award statehood to Greenland, doesn’t even want it, before DC and our existing territories. Fuck him!
