#TheNerdReich podcast : Journalist #GilDuran exposes the #NetworkState, the latest in a long line of libertarian ideologies.

Based on the ideas of people like Patri Friedman, Balaji Srinavasan, Curtis Yarvin and other such ilk, the movement aims to dismantle the American governement in favour of a network of federated states, all competing for citizens.

The ideology has found a home in the second Trump admin and is gaining momentum quickly.

This podcast discusses what it is, where it came from, and how to stop the spread

What's going on in the formerly-known-as 'liberal bastion', '#GayMecca?

Like many, in recent years, esp. #queer people, I wanted to give a two-finger salute to where I live & move elsewhere

Found out wherever you want to go someone frm there tells you they're looking to move to where you live. There r good reasons marginalised people want to say 'FUCK YOU' to where they live, but there's really nowhere to go

When you talk IRL to people from places you've considered, they remind you that if the place they came from was so great, why are they talking to you in your hometown?

One of those towns that's no longer a Gay Mecca nor progressive, according to tourists, my parents' ex-pat friends, etc, is #SanFrancisco

I've learnt a bit about the old place, which is increasingly becoming a rightwing billionaire city

Mayor Lurie, a rightwing #billionaire from the #Levi'sStrauss family, is anti-poor, anti-homeless. He & leopard-food #MattDorsey (gay rightwing former cop 🐷 & drug addict who hates ProPalestinian protesters & cosplays as a politician, parachuted into Town Hall by pseudo-lib exMayor Breed) diss '#HarmReduction for addicts in favour of 'AbstinenceOnly'

#DanLurie is also has support from the #BrionesSociety (a rightwing orgn).
