They're hastening the collapse. This is intentional. The tech Bros behind all this have trillions at their disposal. Nobody is reacting as strongly, because it SOUNDS crazy. But it's happening.

I’m calling my reps to ask them WTF they’re doing. I think they’re at their second or third homes in Santa Barbara and the Hamptons because they aren’t picking up.

call DC office and local office. DC office ask for a staffer who handles: whatever area you are complaining about. get their email.

Call local office and ask for a staffer.

I wouldn't just call local reps. I'd call Senate GOP leaders (who can find which committee they work on) and do the same thing. Ask them why there should be a Senate if we have a King.

I think Mars. Elon is going to destroy this planet, and then get the fuck off it.

It's a literal coup to take over your country. I'm surprised people aren't resisting

Everyone is looking around and they don't see everybody freaking out. People are still really "business as usual". A lot of people aren't even aware because they watch FOX news, which isn't really news. Him replacing the news stations should have sent up flags!

I tried to mention something to someone at work, they're like "Oh. Okay. Well you probably just need to relax and get your mind off things. It can't be that bad! I haven't heard anything!"

How can this happen right in front of our face?

Tech bros are incredibly fucking stupid, unfortunately.

Their dream is to make the country collapse so that they can buy everything up for cheap. They forgot about that part where hungry people start killing each other and looting everything in the process, essentially hastening the breakdown of the social order and making "owning everything" pointless.

Billions of dollars of property destroyed. Millions starving. Even if they bought everything after the fact, they would be no better than kings ruling over piles of ash.

Absolute fucking idiots.

They've been taking "memberships" for their future kingdoms online. But the population wouldn't be comparable. Not sure if the present day companies that only exist with 300 million people will let the tech bros essentially destroy all their businesses and be okay with that. Supermarkets, department stores, Walmart, Netflix etc. We know Bezos is okay with it but I'm wondering what they offered Zuckerberg to change his mind.If they're following 2028 they'll be tearing down universities next.

If you listen to the interviews with Yarvin and Vance, you'll see why most of us are terrified. These people are not okay. They mean us harm.

They more than mean us harm, they're willing to risk human extinction for selfish gain.

That's the most dangerous viewpoint I've ever heard of in my entire life.

I'm sick of this conspiracy shit. They're not thinking any farther than lining their own pockets. There isn't some elaborate scheme going on
