He’s calling for a world where people are more or less coerced into having children by punitive taxes if they don’t have any.

More that peoples’ movement data isn’t worth much, so it wouldn’t be a big deal to impose legal requirements on keeping it private.
This is timely in light of JD Vance’s comments about wanting to surveil the body of every woman in America. I just dropped a new investigation into car companies selling off your private location data to shady data brokers. The case for federal privacy legislation has never been stronger.
There is a history channel, but they tend to be focused on stuff like racist conspiracy theories claiming that the people who actually lived in various places long ago didn’t do what they actually did, but that it was extraterrestrials instead.
Netflix did a decent documentary on the rise of Hitler recently.
One American has been very interested:
Last April, perhaps in a surge of Czech nationalism, Ivana Trump told her lawyer Michael Kennedy that from time to time her husband reads a book of Hitler’s collected speeches, My New Order, which he keeps in a cabinet by his bed.

Kennedy. Got busted with heroin a while back.
Nobody cares because he owned up to having a worm eat part of his brain, and that’s a lot worse

Pretty much “Science fiction warns us of the evils of building the Torment Nexus. Let’s tell people why a Torment Nexus is really great and build one!”
They wrote a book saying that, yes.
This is seriously messed up:
He then concluded that the “best humane alternative to genocide” is to “virtualize” these people: Imprison them in “permanent solitary confinement” where, to avoid making them insane, they would be connected to an “immersive virtual-reality interface” so they could “experience a rich, fulfilling life in a completely imaginary world.”
Yarvin’s disturbing manifestos have earned him influential followers, chief among them: tech billionaire Peter Thiel and his onetime Silicon Valley protégé Senator J.D. Vance
I’m 100% sure it was edited to remove account number and routing number.
He only pays people who have more power than he does
The Biden administration has been churning out good policies at the rate of a few per week for years. You’re just noticing now.
I don’t believe any specific policy change which benefitted a broad swath of the public could have survived the current courts.
The folks proposing it tend to be ones whose friends will profit from it, and the people voting for it don’t believe that anybody could be that evil.
per the article, it’s rather better than that.
Because it says something bad about Trump, it’s “opinion” even when all it does is catalog his past actions.
Pretty much anything trying to predict human behavior is a heuristic; people using them as if they’ve got some kind of certainty is a problem.
Vance is ideologically flexible. He’ll do whatever benefits Thiel, who has paid his bills for years.
