Enough already! We need to be focusing our attention on what we are going to do to get ourselves out of this mess. Please! Our attention is our most vital tool!

20. It's called the Neo-Reactionary Movement
Tue Mar 19, 2019, 11:41 AM
Mar 2019

It's 1/6th of the Basket of Deplorables that is the Alt-Right.

And the moment Peter Thiel stepped on stage at the Republican National Conference, you all knew what was coming next.... if you had read this 2013 article explaining the Neo-Reactionary movement.

https://techcrunch.com/2013/11/22/geeks-for-monarchy/

Neoreactionaries believe that while technology and capitalism have advanced humanity over the past couple centuries, democracy has actually done more harm than good. They propose a return to old-fashioned gender roles, social order and monarchy.

You may have seen them crop-up on tech hangouts like Hacker News and Less Wrong, having cryptic conversations about “Moldbug” and “the Cathedral.” And though neoreactionaries aren’t exactly rampant in the tech industry, PayPal founder Peter Thiel has voiced similar ideas, and Pax Dickinson, the former CTO of Business Insider, says he’s been influenced by neoreactionary thought. It may be a small, minority world view, but it’s one that I think shines some light on the psyche of contemporary tech culture.



Here's a better summary written after his appearance at the convention.
https://medium.com/soapbox-dc/peter-thiels-plan-to-become-ceo-of-america-715857ceaaa7

Peter Thiel’s plan to become CEO of America
The infamous investor has made a long shot bet on Trump to make the United States more like a monarchy, disrupt its decadent bureaucracy, and revive the status of myth and hierarchy in society.

of everyone who wore the uniform and fought for the ideals we were founded on.

As a matter of fact, we fight against those who choose brutal dictatorships.

MAGAts belong on a list of terrorists and need to be dealt with accordingly.

They, by their own words, are a clear and present danger to our Country, Constitution and her citizens.

The first shots have been fired.

As trump did in his roll out of his running where people were paid to attend and act for them. Now he probably has people suggesting this to others for promotion , and projection for his absolute control push to bypass Congress with. Any Senator backing trump now is a treasonous traitor to this country, its Constitution ,and to the American people by not serving us, protecting us, or upholding the rule of law they sworn taking their oath they would do. They all should be targeted for removal from office for supporting trump to do this. This is anti Democracy, and anti American. trump and the hate group behind him are working to undermine OUR government to have their government like putin has in russia. These Senators have no idea he'll bypass them too soon if they give him any more power. Anyone helping trump is really helping putin destabilize our country , and our government , not making anything great again, unless you like brutal cruel corrupt criminals run our country too. Put treasonous corrupt criminal politicians in cages , not babies.
