Just Some Guy Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 On 7/23/2024 at 4:48 PM, mim731 said: She apparently said in an interview or similar that she quite liked Trump, even if she didn't totally agree with everything he says. It got some traction in the news cycle so presumably she's trying to further elongate the relevancy of the story. Why anyone would care, given she's clearly thick as mince, I could not tell you. I'd really like this meeting to take place now that Farrage has had to come home without getting to pay homage in person.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JD Vance owes the entirety of his rise to Peter Thiel and along with him the government will be directly influenced by Elon Musk, another big fan of Yarvin. Techno-Fascism isn't the thing of pulpy cyberpunk books any longer. Peter Thiel is one truly nasty piece of work. I don't know anything about Yarvin, but if he's in the same camp as Thiel, he must be an abject wretch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you've ever heard of the edgelord right-wing philosophy known as "Dark Enlightenment" it's the guy behind that along with Nick Land, a lot of it's taken from Thiel himself who also funded the movement. It's all the same circle. There's a very good intro here. https://gregolear.substack.com/p/dark-enlightenment-part-one-the-cathedral But yeah, a lot of your ultra rich tech guys are heavily in to it.

A very well written, if disturbing and very American liberal back-slappy, read. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chili Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 Eat their young moment here, the prick that shot people dead and got away with it said he might not vote Trump (he is now and retracted) but it gave a few curious hours where some people went completely out of their tree. I'd love to be a crisis actor, it must be the steadiest work in the industry. Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Danger Posted August 23 Share Posted August 23 Put your fucking shirt back on Robert and leave my endorsement on the bedside table on your way out! It’s Cheryl I feel sorry for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
