I’m very surprised that people are so scared about a mayoral election. Yeah it’s NYC but like it’s not like he’s gonna have that much reach that the fucking PM of Israel needs to make a statement about it.
that's how much they fear anything that even remotely resembles actual socialism.
I ... suspect it might be more that they are scared of the racial component. Not even "scared".
Silicon Valley is a burgerhole of Curtis Yarvin, dreams of technofascism with its inhabitants on top, impunity with wages not quite mirroring quality, and a bit - American academic culture. And American academic culture is the fucking opposite of the European one, or so I've read.
Who dat?
Alt-right writer that has dreams of replacing the role of president with the powers of a CEO or King. The media has been helping him rise in influence otherwise he's a crackpot
The jerk has his own Wikipedia page.
Basically an ideologist of what you get if you remove NAP and common property of unmade resources from ancap. Would be a funny thought experiment if there weren't crowds of people, working in those big companies, thinking his ideology is good and right.
In other words, an asshole who tells the sociopathic rich what they want to hear.
It's not as much about rich as it is about people who feel constrained by humanism. Many of believers into this are not rich and don't think they are temporarily embarrassed or something like that. It's different, similar to the attraction of the Middle Ages.
There are people who think that they can only have their dream of the future on Earth ruled like this.
