• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK Elon Musk's actions are not random and the Silicon Valley's hostile take over of the federal government was planned over the last decade.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Thank you, I’ve been trying to share this video wherever I can.

  People also need to be aware of Curtis Yarvin, founder the anti-egalitarian and anti-democratic philosophical movement known as the Dark Enlightenment. Many of the rich tech fascists in Silicon Valley share his ideas and ideals. From his wikipedia page alone:

  Yarvin’s ideas have been influential among right-libertarians and paleolibertarians, and the public discourses of prominent investors like Peter Thiel have echoed Yarvin’s project of seceding from the United States to establish tech-CEO dictatorships. Venture capitalist Marc Andreessen, an informal adviser to Donald Trump, has spoken approvingly of Yarvin’s thinking. Political strategist Steve Bannon has read and admired his work. Vice-president JD Vance has cited Yarvin as an influence, saying in 2021, “​So there’s this guy Curtis Yarvin who has written about these things,” which included “Retire All Government Employees,” or RAGE, written in 2012. Vance said that if Trump became president again, “I think what Trump should do, if I was giving him one piece of advice: Fire every single midlevel bureaucrat, every civil servant in the administrative state, and replace them with our people. And when the courts stop you, stand before the country and say, ‘The chief justice has made his ruling. Now let him enforce it.’”

  This page also documents a lot of the Venture Capitial Extremism happening right now: www.vcinfodocs.com

  I might try again next year. I’m slowly reclaiming the lawn and turning it into growing spaces so should have more room then.

  I stopped trying to grow corn in my small backyard as it wasn’t worth the effort for the amount of space it would take up to get good pollination. Once it gets to the middle of summer here in the southern hemisphere, corn becomes really cheap to buy anyway.
