It's amazing the degree to which the Seven Mountains Mandate matches the tech fascist/Yarvin/Network State ideology.
The core idea: Systematically seize the pillars of democracy and use them to destroy democracy.
Speaking of dangerous cults and extremism:
Today I'm interviewing @matthewboedy.bsky.social@bsky.brid.gy, author of “Seven Mountains Mandate: Exposing the Dangerous Plan to Christianize America and Destroy Democracy.”

Trying to explain what's happening to our country without talking about the Network State is like trying explain 9/11 without mentioning Al Qaeda.
De Kai has a great term: Negative Information (neginformation). It describes misinformation that results from leaving out key parts of the story.
As Wired reported, the Network State has lobbyists working DC to make the Fascist Cities happen. They see three potential paths:
1. Multi-state compacts approved by Congress
2. Creation of federal enclaves with special economic zone status
3. Executive orders

Why Did Trump Pardon the Former Honduran President? Follow the Tech Bros.
“Próspera is an example of the tech-right concept of the network state, a phrase coined by Silicon Valley venture capitalist Balaji Srinivasan.”

No mention that Prospera is the flagship project of the Network State cult. This is why I say this stuff isn't being covered by the mainstream media.
The Network State is crucial context, since this cult has seized US government control and is trying to build these cities all over the world.
WSJ story on pardon of Honduras' drug-trafficker ex-president notes his role in “Próspera, a libertarian ‘startup city’ backed by Silicon Valley investors including Peter Thiel and Marc Andreessen.”
“A Thiel spokesman said Thiel wasn’t involved in the pardon.”

We can have democracy or we have billionaires.
We cannot have both.

This is also what Trump's plan for "Freedom Cities" is about. A plot to give federal land to billionaires so they can create democracy-free zones without laws, regulations, or taxes.
A blueprint for a post-democracy world. Expect a big push toward creating these new Fascist Cities...soon.

Trump's pardon of Honduras' drug trafficker president is raising awareness of Prospera, the weird tech-ruled city he helped to create.
Prospera is #NetworkState, a scary cult of tech billionaires who plan to replace nation-states with privatized dystopias.
