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.

@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 #Mars", "#CharterCities", "#ModelCities"; or implemented in #Cayalá; cast into #ZEDE laws used against the very country they're in, like w/ #Próspera that asks the #US (!) to "encourage" (!) #Honduras to "respect its legal commitments".
