Cronología

  • 00:00:00 - 00:05:00

    No início do vídeo, o narrador expressa uma sensação de alívio ao ver diversas formas de opressão desaparecerem, sugerindo que, se o controle atual continuar, os republicanos poderão ter uma maioria eleitoral duradoura, especialmente com o crescimento do setor de cripto e suas influências nas eleições.

  • 00:05:00 - 00:10:00

    A indústria de tecnologia, principalmente a cripto, teve um impacto enorme nas despesas corporativas durante a última eleição, visando influenciar a regulamentação e as leis fiscais. Contudo, o que parece ser uma luta por influência também esconde crenças e agendas sombrias dentro do setor que encorajam a desestabilização do sistema atual para criar novas formas de governança.

  • 00:10:00 - 00:15:00

    O conceito de 'network states' é discutido, onde Balaji Srinivasan abre espaço para a ideia de substituir estados-nação por territórios soberanos geridos por corporações. Essa ideia se origina de Curtis Yarvin, que propõe a deconstrução de governos falidos em favor de pequenos 'mini-países' com pouco ou nenhum respeito pela opinião pública.

  • 00:15:00 - 00:20:00

    O movimento Tech Zionism é introduzido como uma abordagem de recuperação de territórios, permitindo que um grupo se estabeleça e tome controle em áreas urbanas. Essa proposta é vista como uma tentativa de restaurar uma forma de governo que privilegia a propriedade privada e a divisão social da cidade, numa perspectiva futurista que se opõe ao status quo atual.

  • 00:20:00 - 00:29:52

    O vídeo conclui com uma análise das ideias de Curtis Yarvin e a instabilidade que elas podem gerar, especialmente em relação ao sistema político americano. As propostas incluem purgar a burocracia e ignorar as decisões judiciais, sugerindo uma centralização do poder na presidência que poderia levar a uma governança mais autoritária, sempre com o apoio e financiamento de figuras de destaque no Vale do Silício.

  • 00:00:00
    So I felt like a boot off the throat.
  • 00:00:01
    Like every morning I wake up happier than the day before, because all of
  • 00:00:04
    all of these forms of repression that I just had gotten used to...
  • 00:00:08
    Disappeared so far up their own woke asses...
  • 00:00:11
    If those people stay in control,
  • 00:00:13
    I think that the Republicans could have an electoral majority
  • 00:00:16
    as far as the eye can see.
  • 00:00:17
    It's really the dawn of a new crypto era.
  • 00:00:19
    The future is gonna be amazing.
  • 00:00:25
    More than any other sector, the tech industry invested in this election.
  • 00:00:29
    Crypto accounts for more than half the corporate spend with no other industry
  • 00:00:32
    coming close. It's not unusual for industry to use their money to buy influence.
  • 00:00:37
    And at a superficial glance, that's all the tech VC world wants.
  • 00:00:41
    They want lower taxes and friendly regulation.
  • 00:00:43
    They want the head of the Federal Trade Commission out.
  • 00:00:46
    They want the tech industry to be responsive to the future
  • 00:00:48
    Commodities Trading Commission, not the Securities Exchange Commission,
  • 00:00:52
    except that's not all they want. Behind the money and influence flowing into the
  • 00:00:55
    Trump campaign are a set of bizarre beliefs and a dark agenda.
  • 00:01:01
    I'm not just MAGA, I'm dark gothic MAGA.
  • 00:01:06
    You see, the tech bros of Silicon Valley believe that the American
  • 00:01:11
    Empire is on the verge of collapse. Silicon Valley wants to speed this up,
  • 00:01:16
    but use the coming administration to create safe landing zones for them and
  • 00:01:21
    their cash where they can also run their own governments.
  • 00:01:23
    And what is so annoying about this is it makes me sound crazy.
  • 00:01:26
    It makes me sound like a conspiracy theorist,
  • 00:01:28
    but I'm talking about crazy people.
  • 00:01:31
    I am talking about the guy who wants to colonize Mars.
  • 00:01:35
    I am talking about the guy who said he gave up on democracy in 2009.
  • 00:01:40
    These tech bros justify their point of view because they believe
  • 00:01:45
    that that's their natural place in society.
  • 00:01:47
    The courageous geniuses on the new frontier. I'm not speculating,
  • 00:01:51
    these men say it,
  • 00:01:53
    they say it on podcasts and at conferences and in interviews and in
  • 00:01:57
    blog posts. Some are quiet, some are very, very loud, but they all are on
  • 00:02:03
    board. And I think that if we want to increase freedom,
  • 00:02:05
    we want to increase the number of countries.
  • 00:02:06
    If you want to replace the elite that you have today,
  • 00:02:08
    what you need to do is you need to have a better elite.
  • 00:02:11
    And there's a way to do this. It's been done before.
  • 00:02:13
    We get kind of money and property right
  • 00:02:15
    And that it's a strong foundation for building, you know,
  • 00:02:19
    kind of a world that we all wanna live in. We're seeing, you know, some
  • 00:02:23
    breakdown of those in the real world, in the United States lately.
  • 00:02:28
    I'm definitely very interested in ways that you can sort of tokenize
  • 00:02:33
    real estate and
  • 00:02:34
    actual physical land to create better forms of society and governance.
  • 00:02:38
    I do think America is in slow decline right now.
  • 00:02:41
    I would like us to all, in crypto, think about how we actually go create physical
  • 00:02:45
    places in the world to preserve freedom over the long term.
  • 00:02:48
    I think that's ultimately crypto's destiny.
  • 00:02:51
    The people of Mars will be more enlightened and will not
  • 00:02:54
    fight amongst each other too much.
  • 00:02:56
    It's basically tech-libertarian-futurism, an ideology around technology
  • 00:03:00
    and including technology enhancing human freedom.
  • 00:03:02
    I am, I am trying to fix government in the us. The point was like,
  • 00:03:06
    let's have a new government.
  • 00:03:07
    Where do we sort of go from the wisdom of crowds to the madness of crowds?
  • 00:03:11
    We're far too far on the side that you can describe as collectivists,
  • 00:03:15
    centralized Borg-like conformist and
  • 00:03:19
    also generally just simply incorrect.
  • 00:03:22
    I think that what Elon's doing is showing a path to fighting back.
  • 00:03:25
    The left wing elite's gonna be kicking and screaming the whole way.
  • 00:03:29
    Mark Cuban, one of the more normal billionaires,
  • 00:03:32
    had this to say about this particular group of men that I'm talking about:
  • 00:03:37
    What's happened in Silicon Valley is insane, right?
  • 00:03:40
    It's not so much a support thing, it's more like a takeover thing,
  • 00:03:43
    trying to put themselves in a position to have as much control as possible.
  • 00:03:47
    They want Trump to be the CEO of the United States of America,
  • 00:03:51
    and they want to be the board of directors that makes him listen to them.
  • 00:03:54
    Now, this hypothetical board includes a couple of power players that I think are
  • 00:03:58
    worth keeping an eye on, namely: Peter Thiel,
  • 00:04:03
    Elon Musk, Brian Armstrong,
  • 00:04:09
    Mark Andressen, Ben Horowitz, and David Sacks. In this video,
  • 00:04:13
    I'm gonna try and lay out what I think these people are doing behind the scenes.
  • 00:04:17
    If you do wanna dive further into this topic,
  • 00:04:19
    I recommend looking at the work of Gil Duran. I have linked his blog below.
  • 00:04:24
    This is his beat and he's amazing at it.
  • 00:04:26
    This man is named Balaji Srinivasan. Like Beyoncé,
  • 00:04:29
    he tends to only go by his first name.
  • 00:04:32
    Balaji is highly involved in the tech scene and while not a billionaire himself,
  • 00:04:36
    he's friends with a lot of them. He's a former partner of Andressen and Horowitz.
  • 00:04:40
    He's the former CTO of Brian Armstrong's Coinbase.
  • 00:04:43
    Teal actually recommended Balaji to be the head of the FDA during the
  • 00:04:48
    first Trump administration. Balaji wrote a book, it's called "The Network State,
  • 00:04:53
    How to Start Your Own Country." In that book,
  • 00:04:55
    he talks about how to break nation states apart into smaller territories,
  • 00:04:58
    which can then be run like corporations.
  • 00:05:00
    I mean by Silicon Valley's ultimate exit,
  • 00:05:02
    it basically means build an opt-in society,
  • 00:05:05
    ultimately outside the US run by technology.
  • 00:05:08
    And this is actually where the Valley is going.
  • 00:05:11
    You see like many in the industry, Balaji is a disruptor.
  • 00:05:15
    He is interested in disrupting the current idea of nationhood through the
  • 00:05:19
    creation of a network of sovereign tech run territories protected by military
  • 00:05:23
    grade security. Balaji wasn't the first person to come up with this idea,
  • 00:05:27
    not even in the tech scene,
  • 00:05:28
    but he was the first person to present it in a more palatable way.
  • 00:05:32
    The idea actually comes from someone named Curtis Yarvin. In Patchwork.
  • 00:05:37
    Yarvin wrote,
  • 00:05:38
    the basic idea of Patchwork is that as the crappy governments we inherited from
  • 00:05:42
    history are smashed, they should be replaced by a global spider web of tens,
  • 00:05:47
    even hundreds of thousands of sovereign and independent mini-countries,
  • 00:05:51
    each governed by its own joint-stock corporation,
  • 00:05:55
    without regard to the resident's opinions.
  • 00:05:57
    Patchwork is a reboot of the current system in order to install a new operating
  • 00:06:02
    system. Yes,
  • 00:06:04
    Yarvin is a software developer with a company named Urbit invested in by Peter
  • 00:06:08
    Thiel. He refers to these small territories as patches,
  • 00:06:12
    but he's flexible about how they might run, maybe like a corporate urban space or
  • 00:06:17
    a city state like Athens.
  • 00:06:18
    These corporate dictatorships would use all seeing surveillance to protect their
  • 00:06:22
    citizens and enforce their laws. There would be biometric IDs. If you're poor,
  • 00:06:27
    you will have to move to another patch.
  • 00:06:29
    Or the poor could be ground up and used as biodiesel, or locked into a
  • 00:06:34
    virtual reality prison. Now,
  • 00:06:37
    Yarvin said he was joking about the biodiesel thing,
  • 00:06:40
    but not about the prison thing.
  • 00:06:42
    So I'm not sure if he was joking about the biodiesel.
  • 00:06:45
    Which gives us an understanding of why Balaji had to come up with a more appealing
  • 00:06:49
    way to present this idea.
  • 00:06:51
    Balaji has less about dictatorship and mass incarceration and more about freedom
  • 00:06:56
    and opportunity.
  • 00:06:57
    A lot of people in the industry acknowledge that Balaji's ideas are a little out there
  • 00:07:02
    This is biology.
  • 00:07:03
    Yeah, yeah, this is biology.
  • 00:07:04
    And I would dismiss them too if those same people weren't actively
  • 00:07:09
    funding them.
  • 00:07:10
    Millions of dollars are being funneled into these projects as we speak.
  • 00:07:14
    This is the website for Praxis, a network state funded by Peter Thiel,
  • 00:07:18
    Mark Andressen, Balaji and Sam Altman. Through their shared capital fund,
  • 00:07:23
    Pronomos, which is dedicated to funding the creation of network cities.
  • 00:07:28
    The website for Praxis says:
  • 00:07:30
    "As local communities dissolve and nation states stumble,
  • 00:07:35
    network states will ascend. The next global superpower will be a network state.
  • 00:07:39
    The next America will be onchain."
  • 00:07:42
    The state of goal of Praxis is to build a corporate government with a global
  • 00:07:46
    footprint. It will have territories all over the world,
  • 00:07:48
    crypto will be its currency. "The modern global system,
  • 00:07:52
    once the greatest power in the history of man, has become a brittle, jerry-rigged
  • 00:07:56
    contraption, incapable of carrying out the most basic functions.
  • 00:08:00
    As these governing institutions continue to degrade,
  • 00:08:03
    people will come to realize that no one is truly on their side.
  • 00:08:07
    As nation states falter, network states become inevitable."
  • 00:08:11
    I should mention that Pronomos capital is funding the creation of other network
  • 00:08:14
    states, many of which are further along than Praxis.
  • 00:08:18
    Some examples are Próspera in Honduras; Afropolitan; Itana
  • 00:08:21
    and small farm cities in Africa; Metropolis in Palau,
  • 00:08:24
    and I think Yung Drung City is planned for South Asia. On Pronomos' website,
  • 00:08:28
    they claim decades of research on economic development has shown that the
  • 00:08:32
    primary determinant of prosperity is the quality of a country's laws and the
  • 00:08:36
    integrity of its courts, administrators, and other legal institutions.
  • 00:08:39
    When institutions are outmoded, corrupted or failing,
  • 00:08:43
    the result is untold human suffering.
  • 00:08:45
    Yet upgrading national institutions is notoriously difficult.
  • 00:08:49
    Our solution build the cities of tomorrow.
  • 00:08:52
    Right now they are creating cloud communities, virtual nations.
  • 00:08:56
    Once they have access to land,
  • 00:08:58
    they will get their citizens to migrate to that city.
  • 00:09:01
    Have a look at the pledge that you sign when you join Praxis.
  • 00:09:04
    Which you can join right now, by the way.
  • 00:09:06
    Pronomos isn't actually Peter Thiel's first flirtation with exiting democracy either
  • 00:09:10
    In 2009 he funded the Seasteading Institute.
  • 00:09:14
    I wanna say some things on why I think Seasteading is not just
  • 00:09:19
    possible or desirable, but why it is actually necessary.
  • 00:09:24
    The Seasteading Institute envisioned building these floating cities in the ocean
  • 00:09:27
    outside of government's jurisdiction,
  • 00:09:29
    where billionaires could live and create as they saw fit.
  • 00:09:32
    This idea kind of ran out of steam because nobody wants to live at sea,
  • 00:09:37
    especially not billionaires. Which means they need land.
  • 00:09:40
    But how do we get from a nation state to a network state?
  • 00:09:44
    And this is actually related to a fundamental concept in political science.
  • 00:09:48
    The concept of voice versus exit.
  • 00:09:51
    If a company or a country is in decline, you can try voice, uh, or you can try exit.
  • 00:09:56
    Voice is basically changing the system from within.
  • 00:09:59
    Whereas exit is leaving to create a new system, a new startup,
  • 00:10:02
    or to join a competitor sometimes.
  • 00:10:03
    There's another way that Balaji also talks about how this could possibly
  • 00:10:06
    happen. He calls it Tech Zionism.
  • 00:10:08
    You know what I'm really calling for is something like Tech Zionism,
  • 00:10:11
    a movement supported by a global network to take back
  • 00:10:16
    territory in the city, floor by floor,
  • 00:10:20
    street by street, block by block, policemen by policemen,
  • 00:10:24
    where you have a foothold of private property and you have a group membership of
  • 00:10:29
    great tribe membership and private property. You also issue t-shirts.
  • 00:10:32
    The tribal lens, it's like a virtual reality filter.
  • 00:10:34
    Every single thing can be tagged as gray or blue in the city.
  • 00:10:37
    I mean like literally. So gray is the future, red is the past,
  • 00:10:41
    blue is the present. So blue stands against both the past and the future.
  • 00:10:44
    They're against both the self-driving cars and they don't want to go back to the
  • 00:10:47
    fifties. They prefer OnlyFans, #metoo, BLM, Ukraine.
  • 00:10:52
    The hard part is to take control of the streets.
  • 00:10:55
    How can you fence off a street and make clear that it's under gray control?
  • 00:11:00
    Take total control of your neighborhood,
  • 00:11:04
    push out all blues. Tell them they're as unwelcome as just as blues.
  • 00:11:08
    ethnically cleansed me out of San Francisco. Push out all blues
  • 00:11:12
    who has lost some territory in the cloud.
  • 00:11:13
    They still control the land. Once greys start taking back controlled land
  • 00:11:17
    they're really gonna howl. As they start losing,
  • 00:11:19
    they're gonna whistle for backup from California and eventually DC.
  • 00:11:24
    They're gonna try to get executive orders or things like that,
  • 00:11:28
    which means you're gonna need to have sympathizers at the level of California
  • 00:11:32
    and DC who will side with you enough to block those actions, number one.
  • 00:11:37
    And number two,
  • 00:11:38
    you actually get to the level of a sanctuary city and you say: I dare you.
  • 00:11:42
    Keep in mind actions like this are already being attempted in places like Solano County
  • 00:11:46
    where they're trying to build California Forever,
  • 00:11:49
    or the actions that Gary Tan is taking in San Francisco.
  • 00:11:53
    But the people in these areas are putting up a fight and it's costly and it's
  • 00:11:58
    slowing everything down. Fortunately,
  • 00:12:00
    Trump is talking about something called Freedom Cities.
  • 00:12:02
    The creation of new cities on federal land.
  • 00:12:05
    Almost one third of the landmass of the United States is owned by the federal
  • 00:12:09
    government with just a very,
  • 00:12:13
    very small portion of that land. Just a fraction.
  • 00:12:17
    One half of 1%.
  • 00:12:19
    Would you believe that? We should hold a contest to charter up to
  • 00:12:24
    10 new cities and award them to the best proposals for
  • 00:12:28
    development. These Freedom Cities will reopen the frontier,
  • 00:12:33
    reignite American imagination.
  • 00:12:35
    I wonder where he got that idea. This is where JD Vance comes in.
  • 00:12:39
    JD Vance is seen as a mild-mannered, well-spoken success story populist,
  • 00:12:44
    who was born into tough circumstances in Appalachia,
  • 00:12:47
    but managed to pull himself up by his bootstraps, graduate from Yale law,
  • 00:12:52
    become a bestselling author, become a tech venture capitalist,
  • 00:12:56
    only to give all of that up for public service.
  • 00:12:59
    When he was officially tapped on the shoulder for the vice presidential
  • 00:13:02
    nomination, many of his former colleagues celebrated. Elon Musk,
  • 00:13:06
    David Sachs, Mark Andressen,
  • 00:13:08
    and Balaji all tweeted their congratulations. After all,
  • 00:13:12
    it was a strange choice for Donald Trump, especially compared to Mike Pence.
  • 00:13:16
    But when it comes to JD Vance, a lot of people make strange choices.
  • 00:13:21
    Peter Thiel invested $15 million in his campaign to become senator,
  • 00:13:26
    the largest single donation to a Senate campaign in history.
  • 00:13:30
    JD Vance is an extension of Peter Thiel.
  • 00:13:32
    That doesn't mean that he is beholden to him,
  • 00:13:36
    but it does mean that Peter Thiel has had such a huge influence on JD Vance's life
  • 00:13:40
    that you cannot understand him without first understanding who Peter Thiel is.
  • 00:13:46
    I'm Peter Thiel.
  • 00:13:47
    I build companies and I support people who are building new things.
  • 00:13:51
    I would say Peter Thiel is the most honest representation of what Silicon Valley is today.
  • 00:13:55
    Worth up to $9 billion, extremely well connected.
  • 00:13:59
    He started off as a member of the PayPal Mafia, the guys who invented PayPal,
  • 00:14:04
    and they originally intended for that to be a libertarian alternative to the US dollar
  • 00:14:08
    When it wasn't that and they sold out,
  • 00:14:10
    he used the money that he made from PayPal to invest in other companies,
  • 00:14:13
    including being the first outside investor in Facebook.
  • 00:14:16
    And today he has invested in a huge portion of the tech industry,
  • 00:14:20
    including companies like Sam Altman's OpenAI.
  • 00:14:23
    He's also a big deal in the tech defense sector. He owns Palantir,
  • 00:14:27
    which is a surveillance software that is basically omnipresent in the US
  • 00:14:32
    government. It's used by the CIA, FBI, ICE, Homeland Security,
  • 00:14:36
    various police forces.
  • 00:14:38
    Palantir is also used by private companies such as Cambridge
  • 00:14:43
    Analytica. In 2009,
  • 00:14:46
    teal wrote a manifesto called The Education of a Libertarian.
  • 00:14:50
    In this manifesto,
  • 00:14:51
    he disavows electoral politics and democracy because he doesn't trust the people
  • 00:14:56
    with big decisions.
  • 00:14:57
    And he's come to believe that democracy and freedom are inherently incompatible.
  • 00:15:02
    Over time,
  • 00:15:02
    he has talked extensively about finding areas where great men can make choices
  • 00:15:07
    as they see fit, unbridled by the law.
  • 00:15:10
    Thiel gave the Trump campaign $1.25 million.
  • 00:15:14
    What Trump represents isn't crazy and it's not going away.
  • 00:15:19
    He points toward a new Republican party.
  • 00:15:22
    He points even beyond the remaking of one party to a New American politics.
  • 00:15:27
    And in return,
  • 00:15:28
    he got an office in the Trump Tower where he had the president's ear and
  • 00:15:32
    suggested candidates for his administration.
  • 00:15:35
    Some of his selections didn't make the cut like Balaji, but some did.
  • 00:15:39
    Michael Kratsios was put in as the Chief Technology Officer of the United States of
  • 00:15:44
    America.
  • 00:15:45
    A position I did not know existed. And Michael Anton was put on the National
  • 00:15:50
    Security Council.
  • 00:15:51
    Michael Anton wrote a very concerning essay called
  • 00:15:56
    the Flight 93 Election, which I have linked below.
  • 00:15:58
    And it is very enlightening about who Peter Thiel thinks belongs on the National
  • 00:16:03
    Security Council. And remember Curtis Yarvin, who we were talking about before,
  • 00:16:07
    he is often referred to as Thiel's in-house philosopher.
  • 00:16:11
    Thiel has not only invested in a number of Yarvin's businesses,
  • 00:16:14
    but he keeps Yarvin in his inner circle.
  • 00:16:16
    Yarvin watched the 2016 election from Peter Thiel's house where they celebrated
  • 00:16:19
    with champagne at Thies's successful investment in the Trump campaign.
  • 00:16:24
    And while Peter Thiel may not be as explicit in his beliefs as someone like
  • 00:16:29
    Balaji or Elon or even Mark Andressen,
  • 00:16:32
    Yarvin assured Milo Yiannopoulos over email that Peter Thiel was fully
  • 00:16:36
    enlightened, just plays it very carefully.
  • 00:16:38
    People in the new right circles refer to Yarvin as Lord
  • 00:16:43
    Yarvin or "the prophet". This isn't someone on the fringe of the movement.
  • 00:16:47
    This is someone who is respected. Just like Peter Thiel,
  • 00:16:51
    JD Vance is an avid reader and friend of Curtis Yarvin.
  • 00:16:55
    There's this guy, Curtis Yarvin, who's written, um,
  • 00:16:58
    about some of these things.
  • 00:16:59
    Vance not only name checks Curtis Yarvin,
  • 00:17:02
    but he often uses his languages and repeats his ideas.
  • 00:17:05
    You actually popularized the term "red pill" in the political context,
  • 00:17:08
    is that right? Yeah, that's actually true.
  • 00:17:10
    Is this concept of red pilling.
  • 00:17:13
    Yarvin writes a lot of strange things,
  • 00:17:14
    but one thing I'm particularly interested in is the blueprint he wrote for
  • 00:17:18
    Donald Trump. It's called The Butterfly Revolution.
  • 00:17:20
    It's quite radical and another thing that would be easy to dismiss,
  • 00:17:24
    but here's a clip of Yarvin talking about why he thinks it would be successful
  • 00:17:27
    today.
  • 00:17:28
    Kids of 2024 are incredibly frivolous,
  • 00:17:33
    incredibly ironic. It is the most ironic society in history.
  • 00:17:38
    Imagine people trying to cope with a film like The Matrix or Inception in like
  • 00:17:43
    1960, total frame breaking of this kind in some ways is
  • 00:17:48
    actually easier than the sort of incremental political logic that people have
  • 00:17:53
    employed in the past. They can sort of more easily imagine, oh man,
  • 00:17:57
    it's all the Truman show. In fact, they mostly already believe that it's all,
  • 00:18:00
    all the Truman show. They just don't understand the implications of that.
  • 00:18:03
    Something I find concerning is the many ways that the Butterfly Revolution
  • 00:18:07
    perfectly aligns with Project 2025.
  • 00:18:10
    Not a huge amount of the tech bros and Silicon Valley are religious,
  • 00:18:14
    but that doesn't really stop these kinds of groups working together.
  • 00:18:18
    Definitionally, both of these movements are fascistic.
  • 00:18:21
    Fascism has never been a fully coherent ideology.
  • 00:18:25
    That's one of the things that gives fascism its strength,
  • 00:18:27
    its ability to bring together groups from different movements,
  • 00:18:30
    all of whom see fascism as a viable mechanism to achieving their own program.
  • 00:18:36
    And that's why some people say that fascism is always hyphenated.
  • 00:18:39
    So it's always gonna be tech-fascism and Christian-fascism.
  • 00:18:42
    But these people can work together and they do.
  • 00:18:45
    One of the things that evangelicals and libertarians
  • 00:18:49
    should agree on is that the political order is not divinely ordained.
  • 00:18:53
    Project 2025 has similar stated goals to the tech industry,
  • 00:18:58
    in particular,
  • 00:18:58
    the dismantling of the administrative state and the return of self-governance to
  • 00:19:02
    the people. Project 2025 is made up of four pillars.
  • 00:19:06
    And pillar four is "the playbook."
  • 00:19:09
    It is a transition plan, for the president's eyes only, would be rolled out upon
  • 00:19:13
    the president's utterance of "so help me God."
  • 00:19:16
    We don't know what's in this playbook.
  • 00:19:17
    But given the alignment of talking points,
  • 00:19:20
    key figures being involved in both,
  • 00:19:23
    it wouldn't surprise me if it was similar to the Butterfly Revolution.
  • 00:19:26
    And I think that's worth investigating. The Butterfly Revolution.
  • 00:19:30
    Step one: campaign on autocracy.
  • 00:19:33
    He says, you're not gonna be a dictator, are you? I said, no, no, no,
  • 00:19:36
    other than day one.
  • 00:19:38
    Yarvin says that Donald Trump should run on his autocratic ambition,
  • 00:19:41
    but he should frame it as a destroying an inefficient and unworkable system.
  • 00:19:45
    We are in the late Republican period. If we're gonna push back against it,
  • 00:19:47
    we have to get pretty,
  • 00:19:48
    pretty wild and pretty far out there and and go in directions that a lot of
  • 00:19:51
    conservatives right now are uncomfortable with.
  • 00:19:53
    We are in the process of the second American Revolution,
  • 00:19:56
    which will remain bloodless if the left allows it to be.
  • 00:20:00
    Step two: purge the bureaucracy.
  • 00:20:03
    Curtis Yarvin refers to this as RAGE.
  • 00:20:05
    RAGE stands for "Retire all
  • 00:20:10
    Government Employees."
  • 00:20:12
    And he has clearly influenced some very important people.
  • 00:20:16
    I think that what Trump should do, like if I was giving him one piece of advice,
  • 00:20:20
    fire every single mid-level bureaucrat,
  • 00:20:23
    every civil servant in the administrative state.
  • 00:20:25
    And we know that Donald Trump would be open to RAGE because it sounds a lot like
  • 00:20:29
    Schedule F.
  • 00:20:30
    An executive order issued by Donald Trump in October of 2020. Schedule F would've
  • 00:20:34
    essentially stripped protections from civil servants who didn't show enough
  • 00:20:38
    loyalty to the president of today,
  • 00:20:39
    which is why Joe Biden rescinded this order the second he came into office in
  • 00:20:44
    January of 2021. But Trump has said he plans to reinstate it.
  • 00:20:48
    First, I will immediately reissue my 2020 executive order,
  • 00:20:52
    restoring the President's authority to remove rogue bureaucrats.
  • 00:20:56
    And I will wield that power very aggressively.
  • 00:21:00
    But how could you accomplish that so quickly? I mean, you need civil servants.
  • 00:21:04
    Don't worry. Project 2025 is already on it.
  • 00:21:07
    Pillar two of Project 2025 could be considered MAGA LinkedIn.
  • 00:21:12
    This platform is designed to pre-stream candidates for their loyalty and
  • 00:21:16
    streamline the appointments process.
  • 00:21:18
    We talk about conservative warriors,
  • 00:21:20
    but we want people who've been canceled who've kind of, you know,
  • 00:21:23
    figuratively given blood for the movement.
  • 00:21:26
    You can join it right now. Then pair that with Pillar three,
  • 00:21:28
    which is an online education platform known as the Presidential Administration
  • 00:21:33
    Academy.
  • 00:21:34
    And you have preemptively educated all future employees on what is expected of
  • 00:21:38
    them from the conservative administration. Step three:
  • 00:21:43
    ignore the courts. According to Yarvin,
  • 00:21:45
    the president should simply state that he believes Madison v Marbury was decided
  • 00:21:49
    incorrectly, declare a state of emergency,
  • 00:21:52
    and that way Supreme Court rulings would be merely advisory.
  • 00:21:55
    When the courts stop you,
  • 00:21:56
    stand before the country like Andrew Jackson did and say the Chief Justice
  • 00:22:01
    has made his ruling. Now let him enforce it.
  • 00:22:02
    But thanks to recent Supreme Court decisions,
  • 00:22:05
    he may not even need to do that.
  • 00:22:06
    The high court has just issued one of its most consequential rulings in recent
  • 00:22:10
    decades.
  • 00:22:11
    A decision that not only affects the 2024 race for President following last
  • 00:22:15
    week's contentious debate, but also the future of the presidency itself.
  • 00:22:19
    Trump v United States has laid the groundwork to ensure that Donald Trump can
  • 00:22:23
    ignore the court.
  • 00:22:25
    Now the President has absolute immunity for core official acts
  • 00:22:30
    and presumptive immunity for all other official acts.
  • 00:22:33
    A distinction that has not been clarified by the court, with only a few
  • 00:22:38
    examples being provided and absolutely no guardrails to stop the misuse of
  • 00:22:43
    this decision being put in place.
  • 00:22:45
    Today's decision almost certainly means that there are virtually no limits on what
  • 00:22:49
    the President can do, because the power of the office will no longer be
  • 00:22:52
    constrained by the law.
  • 00:22:54
    Even including the Supreme Court of the United States.
  • 00:22:58
    The only limits will be self-imposed by the president alone.
  • 00:23:01
    Step four: co-opt Congress.
  • 00:23:04
    Yarvin suggests that Trump handpick candidates for every single seat with the sole
  • 00:23:08
    criterion being personal loyalty to him.
  • 00:23:11
    Because you can't have a parliamentary dictatorship if you don't have
  • 00:23:16
    Congress. And while it seems like a big task,
  • 00:23:19
    Yarvin assures us you only need a couple of billion dollars.
  • 00:23:22
    I know some people with a few billion dollars. While Peter Thiel may have decided
  • 00:23:25
    to sit this election cycle out, Elon Musk,
  • 00:23:28
    Mark Andressen and Brian Armstrong have not.
  • 00:23:31
    We gotta get the congressman elected and we gotta get the Senators elected.
  • 00:23:35
    'cause we can take the Senate pretty easily. And I think with our little secret,
  • 00:23:39
    we're gonna do really well with the house. Right?
  • 00:23:42
    Our little secret is having a big impact. He and I have a secret.
  • 00:23:46
    We'll tell you what it is when the race is over.
  • 00:23:48
    Step five:
  • 00:23:49
    centralized police and government powers. In this declared state of emergency,
  • 00:23:54
    Yarvin suggests that Trump take direct control over all law enforcement agencies,
  • 00:23:58
    federalize the National Guard,
  • 00:24:00
    and effectively create a national police force that absorbs local bodies.
  • 00:24:04
    I think that actually the support of the Democratic public is a cipher.
  • 00:24:08
    I think that actually all you need is command of the police.
  • 00:24:11
    This is so that a centralized police state can be created to back the power grab.
  • 00:24:16
    And I'd say there's no way this could happen if Donald Trump hadn't tried to do
  • 00:24:19
    it before.
  • 00:24:20
    We know that he sent the National Guard during the George Floyd protests.
  • 00:24:25
    And that I was insistent on having the National Guard go in and do their work.
  • 00:24:30
    It was like a miracle. Just everything stopped.
  • 00:24:33
    And we know that he wanted to invoke the Insurrection Act.
  • 00:24:37
    If your state
  • 00:24:38
    refuses to take the actions that are necessary to defend the life and property
  • 00:24:43
    of their residents,
  • 00:24:44
    then I will deploy the United States military and quickly solve
  • 00:24:50
    the problem for them.
  • 00:24:51
    Now, there are of course,
  • 00:24:53
    protections within the law Posse Commitus to stop a president from
  • 00:24:57
    doing this, but Donald Trump has found a loophole before.
  • 00:25:00
    I'm sure he'll find one again.
  • 00:25:01
    Especially in a state of emergency where he has absolute immunity for core
  • 00:25:06
    official acts. Step six: shut down elite media and academic institutions.
  • 00:25:11
    Yarvin has explicitly said that you cannot have a New York Times or a Harvard
  • 00:25:16
    past April.
  • 00:25:16
    He has a popular theory that true power in America is held by something he calls
  • 00:25:21
    "the cathedral", a term that should alert you whenever you hear it to this kind of
  • 00:25:25
    thing.
  • 00:25:26
    The cathedral is made up of elite media and academic institutions that
  • 00:25:30
    according to Yarvin,
  • 00:25:31
    set the bounds of acceptable political discourse and distort reality
  • 00:25:37
    to conform with their ideological beliefs.
  • 00:25:40
    So the cathedral is essentially performing the functions that a ministry of
  • 00:25:44
    truth would perform in a classic Orwellian, you know, environment. Um,
  • 00:25:48
    and it's performing the functions that a religion would in a classic
  • 00:25:53
    theocracy.
  • 00:25:54
    Therefore, existing media and academic institutions need to be dismantled.
  • 00:25:58
    Vance has been quite vocal about his disdain for academic institutions despite
  • 00:26:03
    graduating from Yale and often repeats Yarvin's ideas in his own words.
  • 00:26:08
    So much of what we want to do in this movement in this country,
  • 00:26:12
    I think are fundamentally dependent on going through a set of very hostile
  • 00:26:15
    institutions,
  • 00:26:17
    specifically the universities which control the knowledge in our society,
  • 00:26:21
    which control what we call truth and what we call falsity.
  • 00:26:24
    That provides research that gives credibility to some of the most ridiculous
  • 00:26:28
    ideas that exist in our country.
  • 00:26:30
    And so I think if any of us want to do the things that we wanna do for our
  • 00:26:34
    country and for the people who live in it,
  • 00:26:36
    we have to honestly and aggressively attack the universities in this country.
  • 00:26:41
    Trump has said that if elected,
  • 00:26:42
    he will reclaim the universities from the Marxist, maniacs and
  • 00:26:46
    lunatics who currently control them. How will he do this?
  • 00:26:49
    When I return to the White House,
  • 00:26:51
    I will fire the radical left accreditors that have allowed our colleges to
  • 00:26:55
    become dominated by Marxist, maniacs and lunatics.
  • 00:27:00
    We will then accept applications for new accreditors who will impose
  • 00:27:05
    real standards on colleges.
  • 00:27:07
    In his Agenda 47,
  • 00:27:08
    Trump has proposed a law to monitor universities for civil rights violations.
  • 00:27:13
    I will advance a measure to have them find up to the entire amount
  • 00:27:18
    of their endowment.
  • 00:27:20
    That means he could essentially put an institution like Harvard out of business
  • 00:27:23
    overnight.
  • 00:27:24
    Elon Musk spends a significant portion of his time trying to undermine existing
  • 00:27:29
    media in favor of his own platform, X.
  • 00:27:31
    Trump has absolutely no problem getting rid of legacy media.
  • 00:27:34
    He has repeatedly talked about the government's
  • 00:27:38
    licensing of broadcast airwaves and about 15 times
  • 00:27:44
    threatened to revoke licenses of existing stations.
  • 00:27:46
    And it's frankly disgusting the way the press is able to write whatever they
  • 00:27:50
    wanna write and people should look into it.
  • 00:27:54
    Step seven: turn out your people.
  • 00:27:56
    Get your people out on the street to show their support for you,
  • 00:28:00
    anytime a government agency tries to obstruct you. Yarvin says
  • 00:28:03
    this should be like the post-Soviet revolutions. It should be masses of people,
  • 00:28:06
    it should be joyful.
  • 00:28:07
    And we know that Donald Trump has no problem in asking people to physically show

    their support for him.
  • 00:28:13
    We're gonna walk down to the Capitol
  • 00:28:18
    because you'll never take back our country with weakness.
  • 00:28:22
    You have to show strength.
  • 00:28:24
    Once this butterfly revolution has taken place and the presidency looks more
  • 00:28:28
    like a CEO or a king,
  • 00:28:29
    the court of tech geniuses will have a much more realistic shot at getting what
  • 00:28:34
    they want.
  • 00:28:35
    One thing I can tell you about these Silicon Valley Tech Bros is that they are
  • 00:28:39
    long term thinkers.
  • 00:28:41
    They are planning for years and years and years into the future.
  • 00:28:47
    In case you needed more evidence that Silicon Valley and Project 2025

    there is this strange tech conference called Reboot.
  • 00:28:57
    And in September at the last Reboot conference,
  • 00:29:00
    which is all about creating a new reality,
  • 00:29:03
    there was a special secret guest speaker.
  • 00:29:07
    That secret guest speaker ended up being Kevin Roberts,
  • 00:29:11
    who gave a speech titled "Tech and the American Republic."
  • 00:29:16
    The point of trying to put Vance in the VP position wasn't just to have him one
  • 00:29:20
    heartbeat away from an old and ailing president.
  • 00:29:22
    It was to introduce him to the world as the new blueprint of the Republican
  • 00:29:26
    Party to provide a strong option for a post MAGA Republican
  • 00:29:31
    party.
  • 00:29:32
    A party that will co-opt the government to destroy the country in order to allow
  • 00:29:37
    self-described great men to install themselves as many kings.
