Speedrunning to cp2077, starting with the corpo wars
Really I’d wager it’s more Snow Crash myself, it’s a book that most of these Silicon Valley guys would have grown up with.
I am a Taco Bell man myself. Gotta side with winners, ya know?
I had never heard about the “Network State” concept before, but now I hate it, because Zuckerberg sure as hell loves it
Pay no attention to the man-child behind the curtain.

Next Reddit will start banning you for upvoting anything about it.
Please share this document far and wide. People need to understand what’s going on, to stop it.
Fuck them and u/Spez. They can ban me for all i care
Just double checked, and it’s archive both on org and is. That’s good.
This man has a bunker and everything. He’s scared shitless and he is ready to hide. Their assets need to be seized and accounts drained
That’s not a joke, ALL these dudes have extensive doomsday prep. Secure facilities, staffed and stocked. There’s a ton of reporting on it. They’re gonna fare a LOT better than we are if shit gets really outta hand. Unless we do something about them before it gets to that point, anyway.
Edit: added a detail
They are going to get killed by their own militias
If you had billions, wouldn’t you have a prepper facility? Even if there were no global warming or political upheaval, it’s common sense when you have money like that.
“Hey, want to build a doomsday shelter for .0001% of your net worth?”
“Meh, why not.”
They don’t necessarily have to see bad times coming is my point.
No? If I ACTUALLY wanted to ride out through some sort of apocalypse, a bunker ain’t gonna cut it. I would bankroll and actively participate in a fully self-sustaining off-the-grid community. Rich people always forget the second part, probably because they are psychopaths. Remember that article where they were asking about putting shock collars on their bunker security guys? If they literally just got beers with them once a week, they’d probably shoot all the migrants you ask them to. It’s an irony that they consider their time ‘too valuable’ for that, as it turns out that the one thing you can’t buy is a sense of community.
Of course, I would endeavor to not own several billion dollars of stolen property in the first place, but different strokes.
It was explosive collars, like from battle royale
I would too, but I would also be worried about the idea of being sealed in. Concrete is cheap. So is welding and thermite.
You are correct, but also when you look at the aggregate of their behavior and goals (both stated and implied) you have to reach the conclusion that they WANT to use the bunker. Or want a scenario in which it becomes useful.
Imagine just letting him be in his bunker, but you park a cement truck on top of the door.
His bunker on a Hawaiian Island. Dude really wants to be far away from everything when shit pops off.
What I’m hearing is that after we overthrow the government and Destroy capitalism we have to dig him out of a bunker in Hawaii and put him on trial
dig him out of a bunker in Hawaii and put him on trial
Just weld the door closed. Problem solved.
Or, hold a trial, and if convicted, we seal him in his bunker and bury it and cut it off from all outside contact. And depending on the severity of his conviction, plugging up every “air hole” could go along as capital punishment. Give him a very twilight zone ending, he wanted to hide in his bunker, and now he’ll spend the rest of his life in it, however long that may be.
I’ve never been to Hawaii, but I’ll show up for that 😎
The Native Hawaiians will take care of him
It would be most justice most poetic for the coup against Queen Lili’uokalani carried out by American business interests.
Bunker on a tropical island you say? Don’t worry, I know of some people that have some notes on that. Any secrets he has about that thing are practically out by now.
This is either a shit post or I’m looking at something glowing radioactive hot and I can’t tell which.
The native Hawaiians should reclaim their land he stole so he doesn’t have a bunker anymore
Crypto exchanges need to be taxed.
Streisand effect: I had never heard of the “network state” until now. Uh, thanks for being such an asshole, Zuck!
There’s a whole video that blew up a couple weeks ago about this. Highly recommend you watch it.
Yep, and this came out before a lot of shit talked about fucking happened.
This is exactly the video I was going to share. It’s really scary realizing how much closer they are to pulling it off since the video was made
I just found out like a week ago. Look up techno feudalism. Apparently these guys have been talking about it for a long time.
You’re going to have to spread it IRL, because the media will not allow this to gain traction.
Corporations can’t even run corporations well. That’s one of the lessons we should’ve took from 2008.
Pay no attention to the fascist behind the curtain.
The fascist in front of the curtain is loud enough already.
Of course they are. They’ll ban discussion of democracy next, and then voting.
We edge closer to Weyland-Yutani hegemony every day, only the IRL technocrats will be stupider and greedier
I associate it with “The Space Merchants” and their corporate congress.
It’s a really good book written in 1952 and talks about climate change, rampant corporate greed, synthetic meat… Really good read.
Humanity: invents capitalism government
Engineers: Hold my dark fluid, I’ve got a mistake to fix
We are already living in a country being run by Elon Musk.
Peter thiel* is a bigger puppet master, he just doesn’t want to be the face. He wants the world to collapse so he can rebuild it into his techno feudalism dream. This is all to plan
Now I know what Alex Jones would say if he were on the left
corporation*
They are afraid
The idea isn’t necessarily tied to oligarchy or fascism or anything like that. It originates in the early ideals of the Internet where people hoped its anarchic energy could be a force for freedom. Things have not really shaken out like that, e.g. the net ended up being dominated by tech giants rather than a profileration of small websites, and China’s Great Firewall showed how states can put swathes of the internet under their thumb after all. But some of us still buy into some of that spirit (though the Network State idea itself is unrealistic). Heck, Lemmy and the Fediverse are a part of that.
I agree. Coming together to build something scientifical or technological that doesn’t involve the government doesn’t necessarily mean coming up with corporate money to fund and exclude everyone but their personal interests.
This is a social endeavor like any other. You can’t blaim bringing people together for the corporate interests of this kind of enterprise (the Network State).
what an outrageously obtuse and factually devoid take.
congrats, you win the award for worst oversimplification I’ve ever read.
you can’t do much with the award. Then again I can’t do much with whatever you posted, so I guess that makes us even.
Delete your facebook products.
If you know someone who works at facebook, try to convince them to leave.
If you see someone who’s in a leadership position at Facebook bleeding out, perhaps after a car accident because their brakes were sabotaged, let them die.
i wish. if i delete whatsapp ill be completely isolated, even from some businesses. sadly they cornered the entire market in my country including sms.
it would unironically take a big outage for everyone to move though. heres hoping an industrious hacker is willing to paint that kind of target on their own back.
i’ve been trying to get people to switch platforms for years. it’s not easy. if only people cared more about things than they want convenience…
The Network State is just feudalism updated to accommodate a new set of vile and toxic elitist shitheads.
He doesn’t want his plans posted.
