The Dark Enlightenment

[Geoist]

Anyone been paying attention to this movement led by Silicon Valley billionaires like Curtis Yarvin and Peter Thiel? It's a neo-fascist movement that seeks to replace our democracy with authoritarian capitalist city-states. This all reminded me immediately of the far right-libertarian (aka, neo-feudalist) Hans-Hermann Hoppe and it turns out these fascists are very much influenced by his work (as well as other far right authoritarian thinkers like Julius Evola.) As these billionaires cozy up to Trump and fund the campaigns of puppets like JD Vance they continue to push US policy towards their twisted vision.

The reactionary blogger’s call for a monarch to rule the country once seemed like a joke. Now the right is ready to bend the knee.

It’s like having a bunch of deranged billionaires has become a problem or something.

I agree with Mamdani, a billionaire should not even be a thing.

Movements like this have always existed in America, among many others, but they never go anywhere

I wouldn't even go as far to say it's a movement, it's a very tiny little group of people.

I agree with Mamdani, a billionaire should not even be a thing.

Yep.

They seem to be causing a lot of the world’s problems right now

 

[Girlpower]

I agree with Mamdani, a billionaire should not even be a thing.

And I believe that you have too much money, we should take half of it.

You don't need that much.

The Birchers were seen as a bunch of loons not too long ago.

Now they are in charge of the GOP.

What is a Bircher?

 

[Jezcoe]

You don't need that much.

I propose that when someone gets $999,999,999.99 that we give them a trophy and tell them that they won the game and then take everything they make after that.

 

[Jezcoe]

What is a Bircher?

John Birch society.

Mamdani: "I propose a 2% tax increase on millionaires"

MAGAs: "The commie wants to take half of your money!!!!"

What is a Bircher?

That explains a lot.

Mamdani: "I propose a 2% tax increase on millionaires"

The problem you folks don't understand is that 2 percent tax would not fix any problems.

When they aren't fixed you will just do another 2% and on and on until you have taken all their money.

Then you will simply pivot and go after someone else.

You don't even understand what a MAGA is.

It's a stupid term you folks invented not based in any reality.

Why tax people at all?

It doesn’t fix anything.

No.

The only reference to a bircher I know of is that quack shrink.

No.

They were a group of deranged businessmen who saw communist plots in everything.

Once derided as a bunch of kooks they eventually won control of the GOP.

 

[Girlpower]

Why tax people at all?

It doesn’t fix anything.

It pays for basic government funding.

We do not have a revenue problem, we have a spending problem.

Dump Medicaid and the problem is fixed.

Raising taxes will not bring in enough to fix it.

 

[Geoist]

The problem you folks don't understand is that 2 percent tax would not fix any problems.

And here we go moving the goal posts...

When they aren't fixed you will just do another 2% and on and on until you have taken all their money.

Thank you for proving to us you have zero understanding how progressive taxation works.

You don't even understand what a MAGA is.

It's a stupid term you folks invented not based in any reality.

Lol, what?

Never heard of it and certainly not anyone claiming to be one.

To say they rule the conservative party is a joke.

Do they have like five members now or something?
