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

11/ In the same manifesto where he joked about turning unproductive people into biodiesel, Curtis Yarvin (Mencius Moldbug) proposed replacing our govt w/ a “neocameralist structure of Patchwork realms, which are sovereign joint-stock companies…” He defined “neocameralist” to mean “the state as profitable corporation.” unqualified-reservations.org/2008/11/patchw…Image

12/ In a separate post, Curtis Yarvin (Mencius Moldbug) wrote that his “ideal world” is a “world of thousands, preferably even tens of thousands, of neocameralist city-states and ministates, or neostates. The organizations which own and operate these neostates are for-profit sovereign corporations, or sovcorps.” unqualified-reservations.org/2007/12/neocam…Image

34/ During the Network State Conference last year, Gary Tan of YCombinator said, “We’ve replaced some parts of that political machine. 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…

I read the Trump-backed voter suppression bill, the so-called “Save America Act,” so you don’t have to. Here’s my summary. Please tell your Senators to vote NO on this abomination: 202-224-3121. TY. 1/ Image
You can read the Trump-backed “Save America Act” for yourself here. This bill expands upon the original so-called “SAVE Act”. 2/ congress.gov/119/bills/hr72…
3/ Here’s a link to the Brennan Center’s July 2025 report warning about the problems with both the SAVE System and the Social Security Number database when used to purge voters from the voter rolls, as would occur under the “Save America Act”. Everyone should read it. brennancenter.org/our-work/resea…

The SAVE America Act’s list of approved citizenship documentation is at the top. Marriage certificates are *not* included, effectively disenfranchising many of the 69M women whose last names don’t match their birth certificates (not an issue for those who buy expensive passports or have “Enhanced Drivers Licenses” that do match) 1/Image

The GOP’s “SAVE America Act” has a list of approved citizenship documentation for voters. It includes Real IDs that “indicate citizenship,” which misleads bc most Real IDs *don’t* indicate citizenship & thus won’t suffice.

The list also does *not* include marriage certificates, effectively disenfranchising many of the 69M women whose last names don’t match their birth certificates (not an issue for those w/ passports or Enhanced Drivers Licenses that do match). #NoOnSAVE #ProtectOurVotes 1/Image

Rs are using public confusion over Real ID to advance their deceptive Save America Act. In reality, for most voters, a Real ID will *not* suffice to prove citizenship under the Act—even if they presented a birth certificate to get it. Tell ur Senators #NoOnSAVE. 202-224-3121 1/ Image

The GOP’s “SAVE Act” has a list of approved citizenship documentation for voters. It includes Real IDs that “indicate citizenship,” which is highly misleading bc most REAL IDs *don’t* indicate citizenship, per the DHS.

The list also does *not* include marriage certificates, effectively disenfranchising many of the 69M women whose last names don’t match their birth certificates (not an issue for those w/ passports or Enhanced Drivers Licenses that do match). #NoOnSAVE #ProtectOurVotes 1/Image

Most Real IDs do *not* prove citizenship. (EDLs, which are available in only 5 states are an exception) The GOP’s “SAVE” Act thus misleads when it says voters can prove citizenship w/ “ID issued consistent w/ the reqmts of…REAL ID…that indicates the applicant is a citizen…” 1/ Image
