YouTube video by MSNBC Watch: Rachel Maddow lays out why you should care about JD Vance's real agenda

Where J.D. Vance Gets His Weird, Terrifying Techno-Authoritarian Ideas Yes, Peter Thiel was the senator’s benefactor. But they’re both inspired by an obscure software developer who has some truly frightening thoughts about reordering society.

Yarvin, aka Mencius Moldbug, is a software engineer who called for turning houseless people into "biodiesel," pushes racist pseudo-science + advocates for turning the US into a monarchy. Yarvin has been cited as an influence by JD Vance, himself a protege of Thiel. newrepublic.com/article/1839...

We Need Americans Who Love More Than Just Americans These are days that test our belief systems.

Elon Musk Lackeys Have Taken Over the Office of Personnel Management Sources tell WIRED that the OPM’s top layers of management now include individuals linked to xAI, Neuralink, the Boring Company, and Palantir. One expert found the takeover reminiscent of Stalin.

"The other, who reports directly to Scales, graduated from high school in 2024, according to a mirrored copy of an online résumé and his high school’s student magazine; he lists jobs as a camp counselor and a bicycle mechanic among his professional experiences" www.wired.com/story/elon-m...

Learn the name Curtis Yarvin....fast. That's who JD Vance has been quoting lately. Curtis Marvin promotes deleting our government, Constitution...and the whole system and "Getting over the Dictator phobia." 1/2
