The billionaires literally admit they want to genocide the working class.
They must die.
hey, at least he supports public transportation /s
I'm not sure that weird freak Curtis Yarvin is a billionaire (yet?), but he's definitely thinking like one and trying to give them a permission structure to destroy America.
They all want to be libertarian god kings. They’re all just a bunch of Jeffrey Epstein protégés.
When intelligence is the new oil, tech elites are the new autocrats.
It has little to nothing to do with intelligence. Plenty of brilliant people live their lives happily chipping away at problems they find interesting, or at their normal jobs they can enjoy while being very involved with their families.
These people just happen to have concentrated wealth and power and have lead the public to believe that makes them smart.
You're right. I wanted to sound smart and used intelligence in place of information + processing power.
I'm pretty sure Yarvin is fairly bright, even if he seems to have a stunted emotional intelligence...
This seems to be a fairly common thing for people who are extremely bright, but lacking in emotional intelligence - they seem to fall into the Libertarian swamp.
Not too bright. If he was he'd be a lot quieter about this shit considering how impervious to bullets and outnumbered he is.
