Trump wants to buy #Greenland so his Nerd Reich buddies can launch one of their "Network State" #libertarian utopia / hellhole #cryptocurrency cities on it.

"The Network State" is a nonsense idea from #Balaji, #PeterThiel, #MarcAndreessen, and a bunch of other #crypto creeps of a series of offshore cities where there are no poor people (other than the servants) and no pesky laws (especially laws against things like #moneylaundering).

see also: #Prospera in #Honduras and a few others that already are out there and are definitely not deeply resented by the native populations and/or trying to bankrupt the countries they're located in.

"Próspera is a private, for-profit city, with its own government that courts foreign investors through low taxes and light regulation. Businesses can choose a regulatory framework from a menu of 36 countries or customize their own."

"The week of my visit, Patri Friedman, grandson of the economist Milton Friedman and the founder of a start-up-cities fund that invested in Próspera, had a chip with his Tesla key implanted into his hand. On a previous trip he brushed his teeth with genetically modified bacteria purported to prevent cavities. Another time he was injected with a protein booster intended to make him 'stronger and faster,' as he put it at a conference in Roatán that weekend."

"Critics have described it as a neocolonial state within a state, or an example of corporate monarchy, where yacht-owning C.E.O.s exploit land and labor in a poor country."

@ct_bergstrom This is not about losing one's mind, but about gaining control, and about implementing exactly what has been proposed.

Erecting de-facto democracy-free zones has been on the billionaire agenda for more than a decade, and flexibly called "going to ", "", ""; or implemented in ; cast into laws used against the very country they're in, like w/ that asks the (!) to "encourage" (!) to "respect its legal commitments".

From free-cities.org newsletter:

"[..] the arbitration process between #Prospera and the #Government of #Honduras has started [...] for $10.775 billion. Other companies are suing Honduras as well, reacting to other anti-investment moves by the Honduran government. Honduras is also facing pressure from the US, with a bill being introduced to “protect US investment” abroad."

Interesting to see how international-grade agreement works out.
