Many of the insane things occurring during Trump's second term, were put in place by Trump's former Chief Technology Officer and current Science Advisor, Michael Kratsios, who was first brought into the Trump White House by Peter Thiel in 2017 to assist the president with technology policy.

Musk is the face of taking a chainsaw to American government, but stepped back just in time for Kratsios' Senate confirmation to allow him to quietly pick up where he and Thiel left off in 2020.

Immigrants are the canary in the coal mine, but Americans won't understand that all of our civil liberties are under attack until it's too late.

Whether the message is coming from Robespierre's Committee of Public Safety during the French Revolution, associates of the Heritage Foundation using Vermeule's legal theories in the courtroom, or associates of Thiel spreading Yarvin's neo-reactionary theories at tech conferences, the core message has always been the same. The elite authority know what's best for We the People. At what point will Americans decide that civil liberties and human rights are not an acceptable cost of doing business with the elites?

Also, I have mentioned this previously, but there is evidence to suggest the Heritage Foundation, may have taken advantage of the power vacuum in post Soviet Russia, and used it as a test run for creating a privatized corporate government.

I am working on a follow up article that will cover more detail. I am not sure if Thiel only partnered with the Heritage Foundation in order to regain a seat at the global table, but I am sure that deregulation and privatization are what both groups hope will cement their grip on power and their legacy.

What is this, c/microblogessays

You can just look at the picture of a picture, but then you miss the full story.

Don't blame me though, I'm not the one that started a several decades long betrayal of the U.S., desecrated the constitution, and flooded the zone with chaos.

Or just scan the bold print to get the most important details.

It's not too long for me. It's not a meme.

It's a microblog screen shot of an observation that might elicit a sensible chuckle from some individuals who are not oddly offended by what it says.

I haven't read past the words theil and trump. I'm not offended at all, because I haven't read it, because I don't wanna know what this is.

I am tired of reading about politics and I came here to look at something funny. this isnt funny

Also, why this post and not any of the other trump posts that were posted before or since?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

they have less text and they have an image

this is a freaking essay

[–] [email protected] -2 points 2 weeks ago

Idk, you've been at this for a while, writing your own essay like a man on a mission.

If I said something offensive to you I'm sorry, but normally if people don't like content they just keep scrolling to find something else they want to see instead of zeroing in on the one thing they don't like.
