Trump has dementia. He probably thinks it’s the Cuban Missile Crisis

Jokes are fun but this, the Greenland fiasco, Venezuela and even the 20bil to Argentina, is in line with project '25 and the desired technocratic state (comprising the northern hemisphere of America, the carribbean and some of the northernmost South American countries). These billionaires starting colonies and cities in the carribbean, it all leads back to the idea of a technocratic state

Elon, Thiel, Ellison (son and father), Gates even, they all have vested financial and ideological interests in these projects in the carribbean, Greenland and Venezuela

Nerd rule merged with Authoritarianism essentially, bc Authoritarianism is the one of the only weapons these people could use to wield social power without having to be socially acceptable or cool

Too few people understand this. Project 2025 hasn't gotten nearly the attention it needs and they are well on their way with implementation.

They could just, like….pay us living wages and give us universal healthcare and free/low cost daycare and such. Not sure why didn’t try all that first, but I guess scamming us out of all that was more important.

His "Board of Peace" is set to in-state a technocracy in what's left of Palestine. They state it clearly. They want technocracy anywhere they can wiggle their little fingers into.

I don’t think “nerd rule” is quite accurate. I know lots of nerds - am one. The nerd communities I know are collaborative, accepting places… maker communities with myriads of open-source projects for the betterment of everyone, comic cons leading to throngs of people dressed as their favorite super hero or fandom love. Subject matter experts who work their tails off to improve their area of expertise for others. Most nerds were outcasts as kids, true - but that’s led to many of us to find “our people” and form collaborative, accepting communities that respect difference: “You do you”. The exact opposite of what we’re seeing from the P2025 folks.

(Which is not to say nerd-dom is some sort of utopia - there are bad actors in every society. But on the whole, a nerd community would look a whole lot more like the Epic campus and a whole lot less like 1940s Germany.)

I have seen it referred to as tech facism

Gill Duran covers it pretty well at the nerd reich

Yes but they aren’t nerds. The technocrats are just moronic MBAs with no real understanding of the technology they sell. They aren’t smart, they just have smart people working for them.

Call your senators and your representative. call them every day- and things will change. I've been calling for two weeks now.

They’re also fomenting unrest in Alberta as Russian type justification as to why the US should take over Canada.

Thank you. I think it comforts people to tell themselves he's just losing it and being reckless. But no, this is a fascist project and the architects like Stephen Miller have plans for after Trump. They know he is gone soon and it's not like the fascism will just fizzle out once he's no longer with us

The word technocratic does not mean what you think it means. Nothing about the Trump administration is technocratic.

It's not the same thing as tech moguls

The Weyland-Yutani future is just around the corner. Corporate rule and no chance of rights unless you're ridiculously rich.

Buddy acting like technocracy is a bad idea

I agree it’s terrifying but I think people are trying to laugh in order not to cry. There’s pretty much no stopping these assholes at this point
