Yes absolutely. 🤬

Wow. Even just the picture of that guy makes me hate him.

Has there been any psychological examination or sociological examination of these “Networked State” enthusiasts? Everything I’ve read about them suggests they are mentally ill. But I am not a mental health professional. They remind me of “flat earth” enthusiasts. They ignore history and science.

I have a feeling that the residents of Oakland will not sit idly by watching this go up without money wrenching and metals mining the hell out of any structures these fuckers try to build on the point.

Interesting look he’s going for there. Pretty much nailed Nazi youth with a manosphere twist.

The Klepts are making their move.

No.

It’s yarvinism! This must stop!

He's the founder

But their website is so awesome. Check out these renderings. Truly sunrise in America! And one of their goals is “Elon-level ambition is the bar”

Alameda will not fare well with sea level rise. Google it.

Looks like he wants the tech reich to create some pretty disgusting 💩….swarming robots??? Autonomous humanoids????? How about we just stay NORMAL???? This is some crazy sci-fi 🤮

they’re going to use them at least in part to host corporate-run megaprison slave labor camps that they will be forbidden by charter from regulating in any way. these in combination with a massive expansion of child labor are meant to form the backbone of the new post-migrant economy

Good grief. I checked the site out and watched a few mins of the video. With such bad editing I didn't know if he was AI or not but he comes off as a Ponzi salesman at a Las Vegas convention for 'you too can get rich with investing $5k today' vibe, except with an even worse unfitted polyester suit.

@gilduran.com Might they be planning to use crypto to fund armament the way Germany's national socialist party used MEFO bills? tubitv.com/series/30000...

Though I’m just joking. The runways actually ane important for the awesome flea market is. Plus transit agencies use it for bus driver training.

I like this formulation. An ex of mine was a squatter in the 1970s in properties that had been abandoned. Scrappy young people fixed up places and got contracts on the basis of meticulous improvements. The network state guys are the opposite. They are creepy freeloaders. We see the difference!

That is literally the crux of the problem !!! Network Colonies and digital currency !!! Both are designed to fully control our autonomy. We will NOT be CONTROLLED!

Of *course* they name it like a mobile game

Srsly I was going to snark about them asking chatgpt

Make sure the tech bros (before they make investment decisions) know they will be evicted at the first opportunity the Democratic Party gets.

Isn't that land (Alameda Naval Air Station) all a toxic Superfund site? Ironic if they relax EPA to let them live there. Nu-citizen Toxie.

Did these people learn nothing from OCP?

There’s no National emergency.

PR stunt. It’s ridiculous to call it an emergency and the rationale is worse than poor. Gee, who wrote it? A toddler?

I LIVE in Alameda, and this comes as a huge shock. I'll be contacting city officials tomorrow to ask for details!🤬

Please do!

This is very bad…

I agree with you that they have difficulty working with other people. What I meant about science fiction is you can’t plan on escaping the constraints of the laws of physics such as the first and second laws of thermodynamics.

Fire department? Not your department, sir! Why didn’t you tax the denizens of your network/patchwork state in time to buy all the ladder trucks you’ll need?

Will this allow billionaires to be government sanctioned “Sovereign Citizens “ and avoid all taxes after they pay a membership fee? What other laws will be warped to benefit the oligarchs?

I hate these ppl

@gilduran.com Bullies like that keep pushing until they are stopped.

Peter Thiel’s wet dream of a Christo Fascist Techno Feudal state. 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

What will they eat?

Those two things increasingly feel like the one same thing to me.

This would have a better chance of getting OK’ed if they added “and besides, the bitchin’ freeway chase scene from The Matrix Reloaded was filmed there!” to the “Site Suitability” section.

Like the nearby 'California Forever' in Solano County? "The company spent years buying up farmland before suddenly announcing a plan to incorporate a new city east of Travis Air Force Base. The company pulled its planned ballot measure in 2024" www.kcra.com/article/cali...

omg this is somebody's pipe dream or a parody. the former NAS land (Alameda Point) in Alameda is already in use by various entities and has been transferred to the control city of Alameda. Easy to see the allure, I will say.

That would be the second such new "community". Fine. It's fed land. That means not one dime of CA money should be used for sewers, utilities, roads, anything. If it plans to pay nothing to the state and county in taxes, they will have to find some $$ to do it on their own.

Time to retire that old Tea Party MAGA Republican meme that Dems want to pick the winners and losers.

Great article!!! I am forwarding it to friends.

Anybody got a gift link?

Umm…can we pause for just a moment over the words, “autonomous humanoid and swarm robotics”?

Omg.

The careers page is quite telling: numerous Officer and Manager positions, and just one Full Stack Developer expected to handle both design and CI/CD. That says a lot about the people behind it.
