ICE will reportedly hire contractors to surveil social media platforms 24/7 to target people for deportations.

The information would then be funneled into an existing ICE database built by Palantir (founded by Trump ally Peter Thiel).

Trump’s weakness creates huge openings for a whole series of unelected figures whose main difference consists in having different motives and methods of wrecking the government.

From 1939-1945 German officers also listened to speeches from civilians about how the laws of war didn’t apply to them. And then they participated in the Holocaust, starved millions of prisoners of war, destroyed villages and cities, and were defeated.

He is saying that republicans are not going far enough with his policies and that when Dems come back into power they will reverse those policies. He doesn't regret a thing. I also think he's lying, playing "3D chess" so that the repugs will charge forward wit lh more and more brutality.

Yarvin was in on the paper napkin discussions for P25 right after their guy lost & was an honored guest at its publication gala as he was for one of the inauguration parties. His Ayn Rand fetishism is all over what's happening & he + Thiel et al need to be held accountable as treason co-conspirators

Yarvin convinced a bunch of credulous tech billionaires that they needed to back an extreme, dumb, & wildly unpopular politics to β€œsave western civilization.” We’re now getting that politics on steroids, and now he’s all β€œoh no, these policies are unpopular, must flee the country to save ourselves.”

Thiel allegedly hates competition. He works in secret, in the dark shadows. He’s said if the public knew of their plans they’d never allow them.

He & Yarvin need someone to directly, publicly challenge them to a public highly publicised debate.

COMPETE.

Hey, graphic designers! (Not AI, please.) Time to design new protest posters showing who's really working the stage magic: Miller, Vought, and their stage hands, Vance, Thiel, Musk, etc.
