Ich bin kürzlich auf mich gestoßen Das Video, in dem erörtert wird, wie die Tech -Führungskräfte die neue US -Verwaltung nutzen, um ihre eigene Agenda zu erreichen.
In den letzten Jahren hat sich ein faszinierender und etwas beunruhigender Trend unter dem Tech -Elite des Silicon Valley entstanden: ein Drang, die traditionelle Regierungsführung zu überdenken. Hochkarätige Zahlen und Risikokapitalgeber erforschen Konzepte wie Netzwerkstaaten, kryptoorientierte Gesellschaften und sogar in Privatbewohner regierte Städte.
Prominente Namen wie Peter Thiel, Elon Musk und Balaji Srinivasan führen diese Anklage an. Viele in dieser Gruppe glauben, dass Amerika im Niedergang ist und dass die Lösung keine Reform ist, sondern eine vollständige Neuinterpretation der Gesellschaft.
Balaji Srinivasan, ein ehemaliger Partner von Coinbase CTO und Andreessen Horowitz, war einer der größten Befürworter dieser Idee. Er hat das Konzept von populär gemacht "Netzwerkzustände"—Centerrale virtuelle Gemeinschaften, die darauf abzielen, physisches Land zu erwerben und schließlich als unabhängige Nationen zu fungieren. In seinem Buch Der NetzwerkstaatSrinivasan skizziert eine Blaupause für die Führung dieser Gemeinden wie Unternehmen.
Interessanterweise ist diese Vision nicht ganz neu. Curtis Yarvin (auch bekannt als Mencius Moldbug) führte zunächst die Idee von „Patchwork“ ein, ein System, in dem kleine, von Unternehmen geführte souveräne Gebiete traditionelle Regierungen ersetzen. Diese "Patches" würde die Effizienz vor der öffentlichen Meinung priorisieren und die Kontrolle durch Technologien wie die biometrische Überwachung behalten. Obwohl Yarvins Ideen oft als dystopisch bezeichnet werden, haben sie einen erheblichen Einfluss auf Denker wie Peter Thiel.
Einer der am besten entwickelten Versuche, einen Netzwerkstaat zu schaffen, ist Praxis, ein Projekt, das von Thiel und anderen großen Investoren unterstützt wird. Praxis stellt sich ein globales Corporate Governance -Modell vor, bei dem Crypto als Hauptwährung dient. Ähnliche Experimente umfassen Prospera in Honduras und Afropolitan in Afrika.
Diese Initiativen werden oft als Förderung von Freiheit und Innovation aufgestellt, aber Kritiker warnen, dass sie das Gefahr eines Unternehmensdiktaturen zu einer Unternehmensdiktaturen haben. Der starke Einsatz von Überwachungstechnologien, Ausschlussrichtlinien und der Fokus auf die Kontrolle des physischen Landes machen Bedenken hinsichtlich der wahren Motive dieser Projekte.
Zahlen wie JD Vance, der offen diskutiert, dass Yarvins Ideen und Verbindungen zu Thiel hat, schlagen ferner eine koordinierte Anstrengung vor, um die Governance in Amerika und darüber hinaus umzugestalten.
Trump hat auch die Idee von "Freiheitsstädte" auf Bundesland, umrahmt als Hubs der Vorstellungskraft und des Fortschritts. Angesichts seiner Verbindungen zu Figuren wie Thiel gibt es eine bemerkenswerte Überlappung zwischen diesem Vorschlag und der Vision von Silicon Valley für privat regierte Städte.
Der Einfluss des Silicon Valley auf die Regierungsführung wächst und Ideen, die einst als Rand angesehen werden, gewinnen an die Antrieb. Einige sehen dies als mutige Reaktion auf veraltete Systeme und andere als gefährliche Veränderung in Richtung autoritärer Unternehmensregel.
Was denkst du darüber? Sehen wir die vollständige Überarbeitung des amerikanischen politischen Systems? Und wenn ja, wird "Sie" gewinnen ?

“Although Yarvins ideas are often described as dystopian”
Yeah. OK. I’ve seen enough.
It’s a dangerous time. I think your analysis is correct; the tech billionaires are working to overthrow democracy and replace it with their own vision of the future.
I don’t think they’ll win, but we are in for a rough ride and they can do some damage in the meantime.
Anyone who has worked retail for more than an hour will understand that none of this is happening anytime soon.
People who couldn’t handle basic hygiene during a pandemic or eggs that are a few dollars more expensive surely are clamoring for a complete overhaul of the society they’re accustomed to.
Wild that I just reread Snow Crash, and now they’re building it.
I am so worried about all of this. It is a coup.
On Saturday the DOGE team strongarmed their way to control the United States Treasury Payment system.
I have been sick to my stomach with anxiety ever since.
They – an unelected group of private citizens who don’t have security clearance – have taken the power of the purse away from the United States Congress.
They have no oversight and are canning sworn federal civil servants every day. This is completely beyond their authority. They can withhold payments from Social Security, VA Disability, federal employees, contractors, anyone they find „inconvenient.“
Regardless of political leaning, this is completely anti-Democracy.
Dark Gothic MAGA is a net loss for everyone.
The billionaires have seized the executive branch and have no checks and balances.
Chaos and accelerationism plays into their hand.
Unless something changes and fast, I don’t foresee it getting better. We will be the serfs in their techno-feudalist kingdoms.
I stocked up on groceries and gas yesterday. Withdrew plenty of cash. We don’t know how ugly it will turn out to be, or how long.
See r/fednews for more info.
Over my dead body and the bodies of millions (billions?) of others. But I suspect that’s a feature not a bug to people like Thiel, Musk, and Yarvin.
This is just Snow Crash. Yarvin read Snow Crash.
If you wanna know what’s coming, read Snow Crash lol
If this is true:
This is deceitful.
The leaders of the GOP are liars.
This is a giant con and Trump was the perfect tool.
Wrap your self in the flag. Call yourselves “Patriots”.
Tell the disenfranchised you will cater to their every need and put them first.
Then implement a strategy that was never discussed openly on the campaign trail.
Because if it was discussed openly these traitors known it would not stand a snowballs chance in hell because this is the death of democracy.
And the MAGA stooges were the rubes that facilitated this coup.
I saw Adam Mockler watching this tonight, then I watched through it myself.
Very interesting info that I hadn’t seen before, but basically their ideas for future mini-states sounds horrific to me.
They just want a new frontier to colonize and run however they deem fit.
So many people don’t even know what is Halle ing. By the time they realize it because they’re suffering it will be too late. I already think it’s too late.
* Digital facsist oligarchy
Here. Fixed it for you
All the tech that we have benefitted from and enjoyed is going to become our enemy before long.
Aren’t Yarvin’s „ideas“ basically the themes/settings of Neal Stephenson’s books since like forever? Not sure how he’s getting credit for it.
It just seems like the latest flavor of ‚anarchy‘ – lack of overall big government, mostly smaller ‚organizations‘. Most of which started as more like visions of large self-governing communes, but a lot more anarcho capitalist visions have also popped up.
I’m never clear in any of the scenarios why people think things would remain relatively peaceful between said ‚communes‘ or ’network states‘ or ‚tribes‘ or what not, when the entire history of humanity shows there’s always someone who will push to grab more resources and conquer the neighbor…
I consider myself a futurist, and at times I’m tempted to believe that they really are trying to build something better by tearing down the old. But then I look at the horribly flawed, vainglorious, petty, spiteful, stupid people at the center of it, and I know in my heart that what they’re trying to do will be bad for all of us.
These fucking smooth brained tech bros want their LARP alternative reality games to. E real life. Shit won’t work. It’ll be just like when the libertarians ruined a Vermont town with bears because they wouldn’t pay for garbage service.
These mofos trying to apply Agile as a way to govern people. Bunch of wankers.
Of course they want this, they all aspire to be like P-Diddy or Epstein minus the publicity and repercussions. We build our society with laws and bounderies because we all know that we shouldn’t give power to those who seek to control and rule others. Unfortunatly the Capitalist endgame results in monopolistic and concentrated accumulations of wealth, power and knowledge surpassing any power a government might hold.
> What are your thoughts on this ?
Hard no. Absolutely not. The proposed plan of governance is one that should be resisted with all possible means, including violence if required.
That’s a techno-dystopian nightmare that cannot be tolerated. It’s just a return to a sort of neo-feudalism.
People paid enough blood and tears getting rid of the aristocracy the first time. Letting it come back is completely unacceptable.
Musk must already be thinking that when his plans are fully realized, he won’t need a bumbling idiot like Trump around. In Musk’s government presidents will be passe.
Fuck Elon the illegal South African that needs to be arrested and deported immediately!
A cashless, high- surveillance police state. Isn’t this just like the “ new world order” conspiracy all of the maga retards were barking about a few years ago?
Ian Bremmer says the new world order is Technopolar
Leon and his minions just siphoned the government data (Treasury, OPM, OMB, more) into his xAI company and it’s infuriating that the average reporter does not understand the implications of this. No one suspected because the focus was on other shiny objects. Prepare for more nefarious AI data mining and what machine learning can do. What happened to the legal defenders and checks and balances?
Digital fiefdoms just don’t have the same ring to it.
America had a good run. Guess we’re going back to feudalism.
The problem with most of these ideas is that they are completely unsustainable and were made by people who got most of their history from a Julian Fellows show and their vision from playing cyberpunk 2077.
Anyone with even a superficial understanding of history, governance and politics will tell you how much of a stupid idea this all is. Take the idea of free cities they float. The US toyed with this after independence, but it became quickly obvious that 13 loose colonies would be left at the whim of the European powers of the day.
They are absolutely stupid enough to try this crap though.
Any other docs out where that are like this and offer a comprehensive revealing look at this class of oligarchs and their crazy ideas?
Dunning–Kruger effect in full swing. These billionaires have no fucking clue how to make working society.
Did you ever read Snowcrash by Neal Stephenson? They’re talking about the BurbClaves.
The goal isn’t to re-imagine the United States – it’s to crash the federal government. Dissolve it, and establish Micro-states in its place.
It’s high school Ayn Randianism, being pushed by the wealthiest people in the world with zero accountability.
Imagine the United Chicago South-Side Networked state, ‚owned‘ by one of these dudes. They want to run them like businesses: they set the rules (Terms of Citizenship) – if you don’t like it, leave. Microstates with bad rules will dwindle, the good ones will grow. If you’re busy patting yourself on the back for making a shit ton of money you’d see yourself as the best kind of benevolent dictator: why not just make it real?
This is the plot line of dozens of dystopian stories.
How far could this realistically go? Honestly, I think not nearly as far as their vision. There are a bunch of Microstates in the world today (Zealand, and hilariously Vatican City). The note above about ‚Freedom Cities‘ on federal land sounds pretty plausible. Devolving to something like Oryx & Crake, [Elysium](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elysium_(film)), or Blade Runner 2049 seems rather far fetched. But the thing standing between us & those kinds of outcomes is mostly the bureaucratic inertia of the U. S. Government. And from what I hear – it’s under pretty serious attack.
So here’s what the Thiels and Andreessens of the world have to look forward to: Their doomsday bunkers violently seized by their own security teams. The men guarding the rich are trained to form a team and violently achieve goals. Those skills of force will be priceless in post-government anarchy. Enjoy it for now, Marc and Peter, because those ex-Special Forces operators you hired will rule their fiefdoms literally over your dead bodies.
Corporation is a person and a country damn next level
The City/State or Sovereign State forms of government are corporations owning all land. Each corporation’s owner would be a billionaires and their AI creates all the legal legislation. They describe it in very glitzy utopian verbage. But, basically it is a feudal system with the King (owning all land) at the top and the serfs peasants at the bottom. There is no voting – there is no democracy. If you don’t like it you’re told to move somewhere else. The Tech Bros don’t believe democracy is an outdated form of government and the US should be dismantled. We’re seeing it right now. Check out Wired – they’ve been writing a lot about the Tech Bros. Here’s an article about all this: [Daily Beast – Promonos and Tech Bros](https://www.thedailybeast.com/pronomos-capitals-new-vc-idea-colonies-of-tech-bros/)
The thing is, this isn’t really that new. It was called “feudalism,” and it sucked.
Wait. Wait wait. Fuck fuck fuck. The Utah State gov has been pushing hard to control the fed land in Utahs borders. Utah is pretty close already to being a theocracy on the state level. I bet the Mormon overlords are betting on and pushing for exactly this sorta thing.
Utah, steals land that belongs to all Americans and claims it as it’s own through its bullshit legalese and then just like the Mormon play book, uses it to make money. First by selling it to dystopian overlords, then tricking, allowing, and encouraging normal hard working people into their „new future“ that really ends up being partial or maybe even literally slavery.
Don’t think it will happen? Utah is the capital of barely not inbred mormons, mlms, and keeping up with the Jones. They have the brainwashing on lock. The stepping stone to this is literally just PR at this point.
Whelp time to move.

The tech bros want to destroy the current US so they can rebuild it in their image.
Curtis Yarvin, a controversial political theorist, holds several radical ideas about the United States:
1. Democracy has failed and should be replaced with a monarchy-like system led by a CEO-dictator.
2. American institutions, including mainstream media and academia, are controlled by progressive groupthink and should be dismantled.
3. The government bureaucracy needs a significant overhaul.
4. The U.S. is governed by what he calls „the Cathedral,“ a collaboration between media, political elites, and special interests that needs to be overthrown.
5. The country should be transformed into a patchwork of techno-monarchies run by authoritarian CEOs.
6. An effective and efficient government, modeled after private companies like Apple, would better serve people’s lives.
7. The current democratic system is fragile and unable to address unpopular policies.
8. Society needs a „hard reset“ or „rebooting“ rather than gradual political reforms.
9. He advocates for „neo-cameralism,“ where the government is run like a corporation with shareholders electing an executive with total power.
10. Yarvin supports authoritarianism on right-libertarian grounds, arguing that strong governments with clear hierarchies remain minimal and focused.
These ideas have gained traction among some influential figures in Silicon Valley and the incoming Trump administration, raising concerns about their potential impact on American democracy.
Crypto (read: fully decentralized) based governance is the very thing that can prevent a „corporate dictatorship“. A central bank digital currency is not crypto. A blockchain controlled by only a few is not crypto.
Much more of this and I’ll be praying for Captain Trips instead.
This is the same thing Biľľ Ģates wants. The whole 15 minutes cities thing also includes privatizing cities.
They may look like they’re on opposite sides of the political spectrum but they’re just fighting amongst themselves for who gets control of this future they’re both pushing.
These are the guys who still consider Atlas Shrugged their bible
They’ve been working on this for a long time.
1. ChatGPT and LLMs will play a crucial role in changing the narrative. Already these bias a corporate narrative and dont report truthfully on workers rights, unionisation, blacklisting etc. That’s really why they are so frightened of DeepSeek.
2. These are the real people pushing far right parties and events like Brexit.
3. People who are likely to spill the beans end up dead i.e. Epstein.
4. They don’t have a problem with billions of people dying, and consider this a „natural progression“.
5. They’ve already profiled most of the population. If you have posted online against them you are already as good as dead once they fully gain control.
6. United States is their first goal, then the United Kingdom, then Australia/NZ, ME, North Africa, South America, and Europe.
7. They look down on you with contempt. Either „you’re an innovator or a slave“… you are the slave to them.
This will move faster than you think.
Been saying for a long time we are on the way to Cyberpunk without the cool cyberware. Sounds about right.
„At long last, we have built the Torment Nexus from the classic sci-fi novel *Do Not Build the Torment Nexus*.“
I’ve tried watching the linked video a few times before and i can never get through it. I’m not quite sure why but it’s unwatchable for me. I find your summary 100x better than the video.
These ideas of ‘network states’, ‘patchwork cities’, etc don’t at all seem like what musk is after. Maybe I’m not understanding it correctly but it doesn’t seem like musk is interested in any patchwork of autonomous decentralized states. Given his recent meddling in German and English politics, it seems like he’s trying for a fascist empire that extends beyond the US. It seems to me like he’s seeing if he can dominate the entire chess board.
Nice to see this making the rounds! Should be around the world by the weekend! 🤞
Yeah Yarvin is a jerkoff and his roots in Silicon Valley run deep, his brand of neoreaction was very attractive to Musk, along with lesswrong and several other “monarchists”, fascists, and general shitheads.
This is a really good book on the topic: https://www.amazon.com/Neoreaction-Basilisk-Essays-Around-Alt-Right-ebook/dp/B0782JDGVQ
Shitheads, all of them. And there was a long list of these guys, going back to Nick Land. Yarvin is just the one who suddenly got famous.
