JD Vance & Peter Thiel are friends of Curtis Yarvin who once proposed (under his pen name) converting unproductive people into biodiesel. Yarvin said the proposal was a joke but that the joke “helps us describe the problem we are trying to solve. Our goal … is a humane alternative to genocide.” By @gilduran76, 7/22/24

Specifically, we have parallel media now with Elon’s Twitter, or X. Getting a parallel media was a key piece, and it wasn’t through voting. It was done by building.… We need to *** replace ** the unelected parts of the system as well, building parallel education, nonprofits, media, unions. That’s what the Network State Conference is about.” youtu.be/24YF7LlE8ds?si…
