    OHHH this all makes sense suddenly. Curtis fucking Yarvin the dweeb-villain himself is behind this. Everyone should be aware of the technofeudalist plan to destroy America as we know it and turn it into a network state with monarch-like ultra-authoritarian “CEOs” of each country. Oh and btw Peter Thiel is fully bought into this (there are dozens of verified comms between them), and Thiel owns Vance. So when Trump dies, this is their ultimate plan.

    Check out Prospera in Honduras, one early example of these states.

      Sounds about right. They know climate change is coming and Greenland will be prime real estate in a few decades.

        I don’t think climate change is the primary driver, since they won’t even be alive to see the worst affects of it. Don’t get me wrong it’s going to make everything worse even within 10 years, but it’s not turning Greenland into some habitable, farmable landmass in the span of these technofascists’ lifetimes. God I hate this.

        People should read The Ministry for the Future to learn how they dealt with climate criminals as more and more people suffered and died due to climate change in the mid-future.

    Here’s my tinfoil hat hot take:

    Considering the development of hypersonic missiles, Greenland would do little to defend/protect during modern warfare.

    But the location combined with low population, thermal power sources, would be ideal for development for an attempt to create a future climate change shelter. If a select group wanted to keep cool on their own big island as the rest of the world burned, this is how I would expect them to plan it out.

    This is why being a philanthropist doesn’t reform a billionaire. They’re making decisions for the rest of us using our money.

      The money still have to come from somewhere, either they get it from stock or from investment/project like these.

        Free to build the data centers necessary to control an army of terminators; to genocide the proles once capitalism no longer requires their labour.

        Like, I’m not even joking. I have zero doubt whatsoever that is the final solution in the minds of psychopaths like Thiel or Altman. Humanity is currently a parasite and our civilisation can not continue at the current rate of consumption for more than a couple of centuries without monumental leaps in technology.

    Maybe all the shitheads will move over there and the rest of us can get to work on clean night up the country. Although that would mean the poor Greenlanders being drowned out with shithead invaders, which is extremely unfair on them.

      Just shows that the idea that Bill Gates was one of the good ones was just PR. There are no good billionaires.

        Somebody said that the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation is a way for him to funnel money to his children without paying taxes, and that the disease fighting stuff is just a side benefit.

      They have no interest in living a good life for themselves, the main purpose is always to lord over others and stomp on their faces to satisfy sexually sadistic urges.
