Peter Thiel, the white nationalist billionaire and groomer of JD Vance, has long imagined the creation of “network states” run by tech oligarchs like himself, where “free cities” will be unbothered by anti-capitalist notions of democracy, rules-based order, and human rights.

These techno-utopias need land for them to seed and birth their fascist, decentralized nations where cryptocurrency reigns supreme, AI has replaced labor, and a surveillance state can ensure a docile, compliant population that will be grateful to be ruled by the new Gods who adhere to eugenics and white supremacy.

If all of this seems like bad, dystopian science fiction written by a horny, dorky high schooler, then clearly you haven’t been paying attention to the tech bros who have openly outlined their vision for the future. They’ve even attempted it with their “free city” Praxis, which has launched with less than successful results. They want to try to make it a reality in Greenland, and also loot the land of its resources and minerals in the process. This is something they’ve been dreaming about since 2019, even before Trump illegally invaded Venezuela, which they also want to loot, and announced he “needs” Greenland, which is not his to take.
