Follow Up On Cults Of Weirdos
You can’t build a very good world religion on monotheism or monopoly
Tech bros and bought weirdos are taking over the world, in case you haven’t noticed. We are still trying to find another way besides Starlink to have internet. An Amazon truck crushed our garden hose yesterday. Billionaires have created wealth disparity like no other human period in history, partly by cashing in on the latest pandemic shut-ins, but also by pushing fake news, fake money (cryptocurrency) fake personas, and fake heroism.
They have all the stuff, and they are okay with selling it to you.
Tech bros are happy to be world ruling broligarchs. To be worshiped for their genius and ability to buy all the toys, all the young women, all the representation, all the world police and weapons, and all the flying cars to Mars.
Your device is tapped. Your buying habits are recorded. Your currency is digital. Your media isn’t free speech, but elite platformed speech. A massive push to keep fossil fuels, backward politics, and extreme influence for those who can pay for it is leaving the world burning, flooding, and migrating to where food and life remains. This leaves many desperate, many homeless, and many wanting to climb aboard the dream machine.
