The Peter Thiel connection. When money no longer means anything the basic bunker won't cut it. But if your buffer zone is an entire country, oooh-la-la!
A techno-colonialist project sees Greenland as the perfect opportunity to trial its utopian ambitions.
Donald Trump has inspired laughs, jeers, disbelief, and outrage, by proposing that the U.S. buy Greenland. Nobody quite knows what to think of the president killer-clown. But really it turns out Trump is only sucking Palantir cock. Those in the technobro-iverse have expressed interest in purchasing the land mass and using it for their own reasons.
A key figure in the success of the Network State movement and Donald Trump has been the shadowy tech billionaire Peter Thiel. Pronomos Capital, a venture capital firm that has been responsible for financing much of the movement's special projects (including Praxis), is financially supported by Thiel.
"I went to Greenland to try to buy it," Dryden Brown tweeted in November. Brown, 28, is the CEO of a company called Praxis, which is part of a broader movement known as the Network State.
