End game? USA? Heh.
OK-
The USA is merely in the way of the end game. A stumbling block. Freedom and all that.
The REAL endgame is a world, controlled completely by the .0001 percent, and run as their private playground.
They will use every effort to come up with life enhancing treatments, with the goal of becoming immortal.
They will eliminate most other humans on the planet as irrelevant eaters and defilers of the playground.
They will do this with a cadre of tech help, and a praetorian guard, aided by robotic systems , other military tech , bio weapons, and 24/7 real time surveillance of the earths surface.
All the support people will have a brain capsule implanted, to allow for instant death by radio signal in case they get uppity.
There will be a limited number of serfs to provide labor, sex toys, and for any other perverted pleasure the "elites" want- torture for example.
They want to be The Gods. Get the picture?
Tok, I have a lot of respect for you, you know that. You're one of a very small handful of people that I've met in real life from this forum. But this is just a bridge of gloom and doom too far. It's a breakdown of what I consider rather stoic logic that typically comes from you.
And that's okay, everyone has an off the rails reaction every now and then when faced with Bad News
TM.
The part I take issue with, is this:
They will eliminate most other humans on the planet as irrelevant eaters and defilers of the playground.
This is so blatantly wrong, it belies all the rest.
Libs are creatures of narcissism and ego. They need fawning and adoring masses. They go mad without it. They're attention vampires.
When it comes to their primary support demographic, Libs are supported predominantly by those irrelevant eaters and defilers of the playground. The 40 year old fry cooks and Walmart cashiers, the babymommas with 6 babydaddies, the crime prone who just want their next "second" chance, the morbidly obese and unemployed, and so on.
Who is it here that keeps bringing up post-scarcity? I'm struggling to remember his handle here, but didn't he own a garden store with his extended family? Gigabuist? Anyways... we're not at post-scarcity yet, but we creep closer every decade. And as minimum wage increases faster than inflation, employers adapt by introducing labor saving tools to the workplace which require a higher caliber of employee to operate. The net result is a certain demographic of people that are a class of Untouchables. Dalits, in the Hindi caste system. But worse, because they can't even do the most detested and least valued work. But they vote. And they take their Universal Basic Income checks, or WIC, or disability, or whatever.
And Democrats empower those people. All because of the stupidity of Democracy, and the notion that the votes of those people are worth a fart on the wind. Just to get to that 50.0001% vote result, so they can bully the 49.9999%.
If the irrelevant eaters are purged, and only productive people are left, we'll have Galt's Gulch. Not Orwell's Oceania. The meritless enfranchisement is the problem here, aside from the threat of Democracy itself to the rights of the individual.
I just had a meeting with a fellow Libertarian/AnCap rabble-rouser local to me today. Our whole movement is seething like a mass of ants. We're all getting in touch with each other and throwing ideas around for action items in light of the direction of this election. We're not doing it on social media. We've all been on a despair-driven cruise control since the 2012 Ron Paul campaign, and we're coming out of it in a sense of fevered self defense, dreading what will come from this next Congress and Executive session.
There are people actively working on blockchain based voter ID and vote tally systems, and have prototypes already operational.
There are people actively working on social media replacement networks, where posters OWN their content and the network is mechanically incapable of moderation or administrative censorship.
There are people actively working on alternatives to Youtube, with distributed video on demand. Again, uncensorable.
Musk's Starllink is about to come online. I guarantee you that hacks will become rapidly available to enable access outside the Great Firewall for Chinese users. If not... there are other projects. The guys over at /r/SpaceXMasterrace are building a gorram Meme satellite, that broadcasts memes. And they're not going to kowtow to China or turn it off while it's over Chinese territory. It's a private shitposting satellite. It's glorious.
So chin up, Tok. And everyone at APS. Facebook and Twitter suck, but we still have all the various Simple Machines style forums out there. Then there's Signal and Telegram, as well as APS, TFL, ADVRider, Thumpertalk, whatever your kink is, there is a non-Facebook forum to discuss it. Make use. If there isn't, go start one. This is a huge reason why I returned to APS after being absent for several years.
