i guess "god's wrath will throw fire upon the sodomites" is what passes for a #libertarian take in 2025, because this is one of the main guys trying to build the #NetworkState.

(he's the CEO of #Praxis, "the world's first digital nation" that's funded by a lot of the crypto bros including Peter Thiel, #Balaji, Joe Lonsdale, the #Winklevoss twins, #Paradigm (big crypto fund), a #Worldcoin guy, and a bunch of others). cc: @gilduran.com @gilduran

Sometimes reporting on neoreactionaries invests them with a dark sado-fascistic glamour, redolent of European aristocracy. Reading this article points in a different direction: it's more reminiscent of the twenties in the USA, with contemporary equivalents of the Florida land boom, Lothrop Stoddard, half- understood technology, swindlers, and semi-educated social climbers.

In addition, the whole "exit" vision, whether peddled by Dryden Brown, seasteaders, or Peter Thiel, is quintessentially American. See Albert O. Hirschman -- Exit, Voice, and Loyalty.
