@Griffith There has been a history of plutocrats, technocrats, and oligarchs trying to hijack Libertarianism by claiming to be libertarian despite their deep state/shadow government connections. The Koch family is probably the most well known example.
The worst part is that most libertarians are completely oblivious to this, despite the information not even being secret.

I don't think most Americans share any common enemies with that psycho. Thiel was one of the massive initial investors in Facebook. He's part of the "PayPal Mafia" with Musk. Palantir's only customer for the first years of its existence was the CIA (same as Oracle).
It's going to be interesting to see what crazy shit he's going to push through his JD Vance puppet.

@gabriel I've read it, but I don't think crypto in general is a ponzi scheme. Sure there are a lot of cryptocurrencies that are scams, but there are some good cryptocurrencies like Monero. I think using crypto as an investment rather than a medium of exchange is a ponzi scheme, however.
Trump, Musk, and Thiel may promote Bitcoin, but I will assure you that they will never acknowledge the existence of privacy coins like Monero or decentralized digital currencies that aren't cryptocurrencies like GNU Taler.

Right, but I've heard claims that Trump's primary backer, Peter Thiel is the greatest libertarian hero ever, even though he has tons of deep state connections (read James Corbett's recent series of essays if you want to learn more) and buys politicians which is something libertarians are supposed to be against.
Yes, the libertarian movement should call out frauds like LP candidates, Gary Johnson and Chase Oliver, but I almost never see any of them call out technocrats like Peter Thiel or Elon Musk who LARP as libertarians (or some other niche ideology like populist) to make themselves look like one of the good guys.
Also, people (including libertarians) are putting WAY too much faith in Trump and his cabinet, thinking that he will actually drain the swamp this time, even going as far as claiming that Musk will end the fed. That is a very huge ask and that is not going down easily, even if Trump is truly on our side.

"Microsoft Office, like many companies in recent months, has slyly turned on an “opt-out” feature that scrapes your Word and Excel documents to train its internal AI systems. This setting is turned on by default, and you have to manually uncheck a box in order to opt out.
If you are a writer who uses MS Word to write any proprietary content (blog posts, novels, or any work you intend to protect with copyright and/or sell), you’re going to want to turn this feature off immediately.
I won’t beat around the bush. Microsoft Office doesn’t make it easy to opt out of this new AI privacy agreement, as the feature is hidden through a series of popup menus in your settings:
On a Windows computer, follow these steps to turn off “Connected Experiences”: File > Options > Trust Center > Trust Center Settings > Privacy Options > Privacy Settings > Optional Connected Experiences > Uncheck box: “Turn on optional connected experiences”"

That's also really REALLY tricky to pull off.
You can abolish agencies like the DOE and ATF tomorrow and nobody would blink. The FDA and USDA could be stripped of their powers and privatized as "industry groups".
But the FED and IRS are really tricky to abolish because they're the funding arm of the whole beast. The income tax might be possible to replace with something more simple like a VAT (with tariffs helping of course), but can't be abolished easily because there's a national debt to pay down.
Of course there's another path, where they just rug-pull the USD and monetize Bitcoin so their debt vanishes, but again, that means destroying THE ENTIRE WORLD FINANCIAL SYSTEM and probably triggering WW3. It would have to be done very carefully, to say the least.

@SuperSnekFriend We still don't know if Trump is going to follow RFK's advice though. He still hasn't denounced Operation Warpspeed, despite RFK supposedly being anti-vax.
Also, RFK Jr supposedly was caught plagiarizing slogans and talking points from Dr. Shiva, but I have no proof of this as I haven't listened to all of Shiva's talking points. I've only briefly listened to Dr. Shiva and he claimed that RFK steals from him.
@beardalaxy @tomie If it's truly double digits worldwide, then that means that you are more likely to get struck by lightning TWICE than to ever come across a person with XY chromosomes that can get pregnant.
@cjd Ending the fed and income tax is a HUGE promise and even if Trump is truly on our side, I don't see it going down that easily.
But I don't expect much from the guy who started Operation Warpspeed and still won't denounce it.
Will Trump (or any of his cabinet) fulfill any of his promises this time?

"If you've read "The Strange Story of Peter Thiel," then you'll know all about how this deep state-connected "PayPal Mafia" don rose to financial prominence on the back of his remarkable ability to found companies that either undergird the digital financial infrastructure (PayPal) or act as cutouts for the intelligence agencies (Palantir).
And if you've read "Buying Politicians is Easy," then you'll know all about how Thiel has leveraged his ill-gotten wealth to buy himself real-world political clout. And you'll also know all about how he has wrapped the silicon tentacles of next-gen military contractors like Palantir, Clearview AI, Anduril and other Thiel-founded, Thiel-funded and Thiel-adjacent companies around the globe by signing contracts with foreign militaries.
But after learning all of this, we're still left with some important questions. Namely:
What (beyond the sweet smell of deep state blood money) motivates Peter Thiel?
What ideology does he hew to?
What is his endgame?
In other words: Who is Peter Thiel and what is his real role in the deep state?
Let's find out."

@beardalaxy @PurpCat @jeff It probably is one, given the mainstream coverage and fake decentralization.

I don't understand why people think this Trump will be any different. He's going to drain the swamp again and fill it with people from the other part of the same swamp ... just like last time .. Larry Fink anybody?!
