The Mad King
September 28, 2025
The Mad King sent troops to Portland and ordered them to use maximum force. Well, statistically speaking, his chances of dying peacefully in bed are rapidly diminishing—authoritarian rulers statistically die in despair, hunt, in dirty pits, dangling from poles, shot or stabbed by friends and family.
Der neue Reaktionär - Curtis Yarvin und die Versuchung der smarten Tyrannei
Quelle: dlf.de
"Curtis Yarvin träumt vom Ende der Demokratie und einem amerikanischen Autokraten. Seine autoritären Ideen treffen den Nerv einer erschöpften Zeit und begeistern rechte Eliten wie Tech-Milliardär Peter Thiel oder US-Vizepräsident J.D. Vance."
"In den schattigen Zwischenzonen des Internets, wo Silicon-Valley-Idealismus auf postdemokratischen Zynismus trifft, hat sich ein Denker etabliert, der wie kaum ein anderer den Zeitgeist der rechten Intelligenzija prägt – Curtis Yarvin, dessen Karriere unter dem Pseudonym Mencius Moldbug begann."

"The Education Department said Wednesday that it is partnering with conservative organizations to present educational programming."
"Several organizations commented on “restoring” or “bringing back” American values and patriotism, echoing rhetoric from Trump: “Turning Point USA is more resolved than ever to advance God-centered, virtuous education for students flourishing across our nation.”

So funktioniert Lobby-Arbeit: Thiel und die Briten
Wer bisher dachte, über Peter Thiel sei bereits alles geschrieben, muss jetzt vielleicht neu denken. Die amerikanische Transparenz-NGO Distributed Denial of Secrets hat britische Papiere ausgegraben und sie dem Guardian zugespielt. Die bisher geheim gehaltenen Papiere enthüllen, dass Peter Thiel und Palantir die britische Regierung spätestens seit 2019 bearbeitet haben. Es gab mehrere Treffen zwischen Thiel, dem Palatir CEO Alex Karp und hohen Regierungsvertretern, damals noch Boris Johnson und sein Chefberater Dominic Cummings. Der Erfolg waren millionenschwere Aufträge, die teils ohne Ausschreibung an Palantir

"Another tough pill to swallow? Violence works. For them.
Fascists use violence while claiming to be victims.
They create chaos that “requires” their authoritarian solution. Then they purge anyone who opposes them.
Meanwhile, democrats keep insisting on following rules that fascists completely ignore. They file lawsuits. They write editorials. They vote on resolutions.
And fascists just laugh and keep consolidating power."
I researched every Democratic attempt to stop fascism in history.

The hidden costs of cutting Medicaid
Cutting Medicaid can seem like an easy way to slash the budget. But, the costs can spread to all of us.

I need to wrap my head around the fact that private donors, sports' sponsors and students paying tens of thousands of dollars a year is not enough for universities to be financially sound.
I'd really like to see audits of these universities.
Somehow I don't think teachers' pay is the biggest expense.

"Ultimately, some brands may be forced to "redefine value beyond just ultra-low prices," the WSJ suggested."
When I see the absolute crap and mostly useless products Americans buy, especially with fast fashion, I tend to hope this move will put a dent in America hyper-consumerism culture.
But I also see how it will put some small business in deep trouble.

And car makers know they're polluting the planet.
And health insurance know they're killing people.
And cigarette/pesticide/plastic/teflon companies know they're selling highly cancerous products...
The only "conspiracy" in this world is capitalism ready to kill people for money.
