    A few months after SF secedes.

    "What do you mean president Trump declared we need to pay tribute or he will invade? We don’t have an army! He can’t do that! Ready my plane, I’m flying to my bunker’

    ‘Shot down you say? Invaded sovereign airspace, that is a thing?’

    E: and amazing that his whole idea on how to convince people is ‘just give the more money’. He clearly has one hammer.

    I can’t help but think the “Blues” would send in their actual cops and beat the shit out of the “Grays.” Even if the police recruitment scheme was to somehow work, you’d have to contend with the feds and possibly the National Guard. The state takes the whole “Monopoly on Violence” thing very, very seriously.

      Wait, so cops don’t react positively to shouting ‘but I pay your salary!’ at them when they do things you don’t like?

      I’m reminded of the woman who got shot during j6 and how surprised some ‘reds’ were at that happening.

    B.S., a former partner at Andreesen-Horowitz

    Lmao, of course.

    and former chief technology officer of Coinbase

    I.e., the company that survived by shedding a ton of employees, like 40% of headcount or something. I do not see this tactic working well when they’re trying to win friends and influence cops by hiring their failsons into sinecure positions.

    What makes all this funnier is that it’s trying to thread the needle of embracing fascism while simultaneously seething with contempt for 99.999% of the people in the movement.

    I’m still kinda proud I got blocked by B.S. back in the pre-Elon Twitter days (it doesn’t seem I upset him personally, I was probably just swept up in a Buttcoin-related blocklist)

    How do you make all this money and think brogrammer pride parades would not be laughed out of the streets?

    Wow I was waiting and waiting for the buy my alternate world fiction series today link, but it never came.

    This is the ranting of someone who has been microdosing the LSD too much and macrodosing the cochise way way way too much.

    Gray really is an apt color for the Tech Libertarian Billionaires who seem to think that their winning of the lottery in life means they’re smarter or better than everyone else. They have no clue how it was all about the right time and right place.

    They’re like wannabe fascists looking down at the real fascists thinking that buying the Red’s off will somehow make sense. The real fascist will trou ce them all because they already have a major foothold.

    Such wishful thinking from supposed elites is just sad.
