The one constant is evil. That’s the correct word to describe these people. Evil.

This post had me in a bad mood all day, so I spent some time trying to understand who this guy is, since he’s essentially being paid to spy on all of us now and has the ear of many, many elected officials.
This post is a synopsis of his book, which is a call for post-liberal, pro-American-power, anti-decadence, and defense-tech nationalism. Not exactly MAGA, not exactly neocon, and not exactly centrist Democrat, but basically saying: “the republic needs warriors, engineers, and belief.” It’s like if you took W40K and shrunk it down to a global scale.

This is typically called technofeudalism or technofascism

Pursuing feudalism in a country that famously loathes kings is a bold move, let’s see if it works out for them. It might seem like it’s working out for them at the moment. I’m not sure how long that’s actually going to last though. I think they are standing on top of a volcano of public anger and they don’t seem concerned about how the ground keeps rumbling because they are wearing lava-proof suits. I think when they actually get submerged in lava they are going to find they have many other weaknesses and vulnerable spots they didn’t realize and in fact “the goggles do nothing!”
