Trump is back to
threatening to invade Greenland… Again. This time, it is even more deranged and
stupid. But is there an actual reason behind his insane desire to steal the
country? Gil Duran of The Nerd Reich joined Francesca to talk about network
states and how Greenland fits into this dystopian vision from the broligarchy.
As the climate emergency continues to melt the polar ice caps at an alarming
rate, Greenland has become a prime target for the U.S. under Trump. In 2018,
billionaire Ron Lauder told Trump he should buy Greenland because of its
natural resources, like rare earth minerals. Now Trump wants to use the power
of the American empire to act as a conquering dictator, stealing other
countries’ resources. Sounds an awful lot like Putin invading Ukraine, or
China’s desire to invade Taiwan… Then you have the tech billionaires like Peter
Thiel who want to use Greenland to create “freedom cities” or network states.
He’s invested in a company called Praxis, run by yet another kooky Silicon
Valley weirdo Dryden Brown. Watch a longer video about Praxis here:

These freedom cities essentially function as corporate city states, where the
company that owns them gets to create their own government, tax free of course.
This is the techno-monarchist philosophy that freaks like Curtis Yarvin love.
