A dystopian racist tech bro society controlled by corporations, built by white men, for white men, run by white men. www.themarysue.com/in-proof-tha...

When public services, homes, and literally the local government and services like education are run by a single corporation which employs most or all of the population, there is a massive potential for corruption and mistreatment on a huge scale. If you criticize the company, you could lose not only your job, but your home; your kids could be kicked out of school because they no longer have a parent working for the company; you could be blacklisted from further employment within the city or evicted from it entirely.

Curtis Yarvin took the worldbuilding of Neal Stepheson's "Snow Crash" and stretched it awkwardly over Plato's "The Republic" like a waifu bodypillow case. His grand plan is an incel teenager's homebrew Shadowrun campaign. Yarvin gets to be a half-elf and fight commies with a titanium katana.

Freedom Cities” would see democratic control and oversight ceded to shadowy corporate structures in a truly dystopian vision of the future. When there are already civil liberties concerns in Trump’s America, the creation of wholly owned corporate enclaves seems like a step too far. More corruption.

It’s pie in the sky. They can’t even agree to infrastructure improvements without shortsighted cuts to enrich their donors. There’s no city of the future being built here. This is late stage capitalism in the throes of stripping everything for copper wires and scrap metal. China is the future.

Washington, D.C. Plans for the cities would be chosen via a nationwide contest, Trump’s proposal includes investing in “vertical takeoff-and-landing vehicles” akin to human-sized drones and “baby bonuses” in hopes of staving off a declining birth rate.

Your thread is so informative, thanks so much for putting it together! I wld like to believe we don't have such miniscule memories that ppl "forgive & forget" or whatever.

This is important to know! These nut cases made so much money in tech, they all want to rule the world now. I think the LA ICE raids could be early phases Yarvin and Thiel’s vision of the future, “Freedom Cities”. But with Elon forming a new party, we’ll see which side they pick.
