  So a fascist wants to invade Greenland. These ghouls want to capitalize on that to build some tech bro dystopia shit. I think we know what we need to call these ghouls. Fascist ghouls.

  OHHH this all makes sense suddenly. Curtis fucking Yarvin the dweeb-villain himself is behind this. Everyone should be aware of the technofeudalist plan to destroy America as we know it and turn it into a network state with monarch-like ultra-authoritarian “CEOs” of each country. Oh and btw Peter Thiel is fully bought into this (there are dozens of verified comms between them), and Thiel owns Vance. So when Trump dies, this is their ultimate plan.

  Check out Prospera in Honduras, one early example of these states.

    Sounds about right. They know climate change is coming and Greenland will be prime real estate in a few decades.

      I see it as making Greenland into prime real estate by causing climate change. /s

      I don’t think climate change is the primary driver, since they won’t even be alive to see the worst affects of it. Don’t get me wrong it’s going to make everything worse even within 10 years, but it’s not turning Greenland into some habitable, farmable landmass in the span of these technofascists’ lifetimes. God I hate this.

      People should read The Ministry for the Future to learn how they dealt with climate criminals as more and more people suffered and died due to climate change in the mid-future.

  I’m all for this. It will fail spectacularly, and hopefully it will do so with all of them in it.

  This is why being a philanthropist doesn’t reform a billionaire. They’re making decisions for the rest of us using our money.

    The money still have to come from somewhere, either they get it from stock or from investment/project like these.

      keep following that chain…where do you think the $ going into the stock market comes from?

      ultimately, the entire thing hinges on underpaying people for their labor

      Free to build the data centers necessary to control an army of terminators; to genocide the proles once capitalism no longer requires their labour.

      Like, I’m not even joking. I have zero doubt whatsoever that is the final solution in the minds of psychopaths like Thiel or Altman.

  All previous nvestigations and attempts at building of infrastructure on Greenland has given the same results: It is not feasible.

  This idea of building a biodome city is like people in the 1800s dreaming of flying to the moon using steam engines and gas blimps.

  There’s good reason why Greenland/Denmark/China has already given up for now on building the much wanted airport hub and mineral extraction etc. There’s good reasons why USA abandoned their nuclear silos there. At the moment it will cost insane amounts of money if it’s even possible.

  Maybe in 50-100 years when the ice has melted, then we can investigate once again to find out if it’s even possible then or if the assumed bedrock under the ice is actually just a pile of mud.

  The current knowledge and technology can’t do this in any way that will make any economical sense in comparison to what that amount of money can actually create elsewhere right now.

  If the billionaires want to throw all their money at it, sure, go ahead. It’s not going to work, but at least their money will change hands in the process.

  Maybe all the shitheads will move over there and the rest of us can get to work on clean night up the country. Although that would mean the poor Greenlanders being drowned out with shithead invaders, which is extremely unfair on them.

    Just shows that the idea that Bill Gates was one of the good ones was just PR. There are no good billionaires.

      Somebody said that the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation is a way for him to funnel money to his children without paying taxes, and that the disease fighting stuff is just a side benefit.

    They have no interest in living a good life for themselves, the main purpose is always to lord over others and stomp on their faces out of sexually sadistic urges.

  Here’s my tinfoil hat hot take:

  Considering the development of hypersonic missiles, Greenland would do little to defend/protect during modern warfare.

  But the location combined with low population, thermal power sources, would be ideal for development for an attempt to create a future climate change shelter. If a select group wanted to keep cool on their own big island as the rest of the world burned, this is how I would expect them to plan it out.
