The attendees formed the “Rockbridge Network,” a GOP strategy network helmed by conservative venture capitalist Chris Buskirk, whose aim is to build a MAGA movement that outlasts Donald Trump by letting business leaders shape American policy.

      I’m sure that project 2025 was just the public beginning, and I’m sure there is lots to follow soon that we don’t know about yet.

      I honestly expect the US to become very aggressive militarily soon and go on expansion wars

    MAGA movement that outlasts Donald Trump by letting business leaders shape American policy.

    What’s so goddamned ironic is that I cannot tell you how many asshole Taco supporters would mutter nonsense about “Big Tech” because of them being trained like good little parrots to talk about “Big Tech” as if it was liberal, LOL.

    When I’d ask them any further questions about such claims, I’d usually get nonsense about how they were being “censored” or “shadow banned” and other such hilarity. Most of it came after their October surprise was foiled, seemingly, in relation to Hunter Biden’s hard drive, oops I mean, “laptop”.

    And now, well, will you look at that. These guys are just talking about having “Big Tech” simply set policy, because, hell, why not. Worthington’s Law in action.

    Anyway, I guess suggesting that people with huge communication platform add fact-checking on Russian disinformation campaigns or anti-vaxxer quackery in the middle of a fucking pandemic, that was where they drew the line…having shadowy, deeply weird freaks like Thiel who are enamored of even weirder freaks like Curtis Yarvin and the authors of The Sovereign Individual set policy for the rest of us…very cool.

    It’s not secret. It’s called dark enlightenment(basically just the feudal system) they have been writing and blogging about it for decades. It is their goal to set up corporate city states with a ceo dictatorship in each. The end of democracy is their goal and we will be there feudal peasant slaves.

      I think their goal is to tear everything down so the people are forced to rely on them for food, medicine, everything. True feudal state situation. Voting and personality are not needed with that mindset.

      The rubes have already served their purpose. Now is the time to dismantle the mechanisms that would remove them from power, so they can just stay on and laugh at our impotence to do anything about it.
