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 1/ newrepublic.com/article/183971…
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…
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…
28/ “One of the organizations aiming to build a new tech-funded ‘campus’ within a one-square-mile zone of central San Francisco is funded, in part, by Balaji Srinivasan, the leader of a controversial movement to crowdfund new, sovereign and tech-governed territories around the world called ‘Network States.’” By Gil Duran missionlocal.org/2024/05/balaji…
31/ “There’s no difference between a CEO and a dictator. If Americans wanna change their government, they’re gonna have to get over their dictator phobia.” - Curtis Yarvin, friend of JD Vance & Peter Thiel via @gilduran76

@gilduran76 33/ SF-based Gary Tan of Y Combinator is part of the “Network State” movement.
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…
@gilduran76 35/ Elon Musk quietly created a new entity this month: “United States of America Inc,” which names him as its sole director.
Remember when Trump:
* Posted a photo of himself wielding a baseball bat next to a photo of Alvin Bragg?
* Mocked MSNBC anchor Ali Velshi for getting hit with a rubber bullet?
* Praised Greg Gianforte for assaulting a reporter?
* Joked about the assault on Paul Pelosi? 1/

👀The Harvard Journal of Law & Public Policy has published an article by A3P attorney Josh Hammer, Timon Cline, & Yoram Hazony. It calls on SCOTUS to reverse the 1947 Everson case, which held that the Establishment Clause applies to states & requires church-state separation. 1/
While we were distracted, Trump appointed Josh Craddock—who recently signed a letter urging the DOJ to use the Comstock Act to curtail abortion pill distribution—to serve as Deputy Assistant AG in the DOJ’s OLC. Don’t worry. He probly won’t do much until *after* the midterms… 1/
2/ Josh Craddock announced his appointment on 7/2/25.
