The dystopian "#FreedomCities" dream fueling #ElonMusk's destruction

Tech's plans for #BillionaireRule expose why Musk wants to end government by the people

"In our cynical times, most people are familiar enough with doublespeak to understand that anything called a 'freedom city' is likely to be the opposite. It's a sign of the delusional self-confidence in their own mendacious powers that the tech oligarchs who are financing this idiotic idea insist on going with that branding anyway. Investigative reporters Vittoria Elliott and Caroline Haskins published an in-depth report on this scheme for Wired earlier this month. What immediately becomes clear is that what the Silicon Valley billionaire class considers 'freedom cities' is simply neo-feudalism, a plan to end the concept of citizenship and make every working person a serf whose entire life is controlled by the whims of their boss."

to be part of the American oligarchy/ruling classes, you have to be a capitalist.

USA oligarchy treats labor as a plantation. so to them, white working classes are akin to plantation managers.

#MAGA #techbros #petromafia decided they don’t need the white working classes anymore ―that’s the whole push for #AI.

the American plantation owners have turned against their plantation managers and are eager to treat white working classes the way they treat Black, Indigenous & People of Color…

It just dawned on me that AI is the tech bros newest 5G. Remember when 5G was supposed to be a “quantum leap” forward? How it would have implications similar to the invention of electricity?

Well, we’re 5 years in by my count. And what I’ve seen is similar speeds with more limited range which is by design. The frequencies physically have less reach.

I’ve also not experienced any cell network stable enough to trust a doctor to perform “remote surgery via robot” yet, either. How dumb.

This is partly why they want everyone to get covid over and over until they become disabled or die.

And isn’t this packaging of risky assets (after deregulation of course) what caused the last bubble?

He got involved in this back in 2020.

“With the REIT model, instead of buying a single condo, you buy a share in a company that owns 100 or 200 condos. This investment vehicle was established by Congress in the 1960s, opening the doors to large-scale real estate investments for smaller investors. It’s a model that has enabled real estate hedge funds to buy up large swaths of thehousing market, driving up demand and prices. Recently, companies have begun applying a REIT-like model to land.”
