    More crazy shit brought to you by the likes of Thiel, Curtis Yarvin and the authors of The Sovereign Individual.

      Mostly because they’ll be the CEOs in total control with complete impunity. Guaranteed if they were poor mugs like the rest of us and beholden to evil tyrants, they’d sing a different tune.

    It’s not a “movement”. That makes it sound like there are larger groups of proponents of this.

    It’s literally a few billionaire dickheads who think they are somehow special. That’s it.

      I’m sure there are more than just the billionaires (and centimillionaires) into this.

      This is like a redux of Ayn Rand’s “Going Galt” bullshit, and a lot of people adore her and her really shitty sci-fi and philosophy.

      If you read The Sovereign Individual, you can tell they are trying to make a pitch to the temporarily embarrassed millionaires, too.

      When I see people like Curtis Yarvin, I sometimes wonder if we can thank things like Dr. Spock for not enough aggressive bullying of Gen X and younger…

      Yeah, but do you think anyone on the right knows what feudalism is? They’ll be the knee-deep in pig shit before they have the first “Hey, this medieval lifestyle isn’t as great as our CEOs said it would be.”

    CEOs aren’t interested in nurturing society, investing in civilization, or creating good outcomes for the general populace; all they want is their own wealth and power.

    When these CEOs require you to give them your under-aged children to impregnate or you have to leave the community maybe people with think different.
