    I … suspect it might be more that they are scared of the racial component. Not even “scared”.

    Silicon Valley is a burgerhole of Curtis Yarvin, dreams of technofascism with its inhabitants on top, impunity with wages not quite mirroring quality, and a bit - American academic culture. And American academic culture is the fucking opposite of the European one, or so I’ve read.

        The jerk has his own Wikipedia page.

        Basically an ideologist of what you get if you remove NAP and common property of unmade resources from ancap. Would be a funny thought experiment if there weren’t crowds of people, working in those big companies, thinking his ideology is good and right.

            It’s not as much about rich as it is about people who feel constrained by humanism. Many of believers into this are not rich and don’t think they are temporarily embarrassed or something like that. It’s different, similar to the attraction of the Middle Ages.

            There are people who think that they can only have their dream of the future on Earth ruled like this.
