Billionaires are into doom. And now we have the Billionaire Nerd Right. Bunker mentality politics of exploitation and exclusion. Where did it come from? How are American politics being warped by billionaire prepping?
The answer lies in a warped understanding of Voting with Your Feet. Warped because it is a walk towards tyranny rather than away from it. Those with means can abandon the obligations of citizenship altogether. Take what society gave them and abscond. Forsaking all social responsibilities. For years, the far-right and Silicon Valley oligarchs have pushed the extreme vision of corporate city-states. High-tech fiefdoms like Honduras' Próspera (a libertarian med-spa dystopia) or seasteading (floating tax havens for the ultra-rich). Now, with Trump's "freedom cities" and Musk's Mars colonization fantasies, this neo-feudal exit strategy is mainstream. Tax havens are a thing, why not a social rights haven too. This is not a stretch for a deranged mind. You don't think so only because you do not have one. Think Guantanamo or El Salvador. A billionaire island run like ancient Rome only follows a trend already being expressed.
Curtis Yarvin, a mediocre thinker peddling pro-capitalist bullshit about running government like a business (where you fire the "unproductive," hoard profits, and exclude the unwanted) is a product of our times. Any dumfuck with a hard-on for hierarchy would've been elevated by our tech billionaires. If I had no soul, it could've been me. It is an easy way for slime to pay bills.
But here's a diabolical twist in America's new fascism: unlike classic national socialism, this strain doesn't promise a utopia for the "pure" at the end of the struggle. Billionaires don't plan on ordinary people breaking on through to the other side. Billionaires see collapse as an opportunity. They've stockpiled bunkers, built private militias, and have their propaganda worked out to make all their shit smell good.
Why? Because billionaires can imagine buying their way out in ways most people can't. Collapse doesn't scare them; it excites them. It's the ultimate power fantasy, a world where empathy is dead and absolute control is their reward. There is no check on their fantasy.
Elon Musk is the walking embodiment of this: a man who gutted Twitter's moderation, embraced far-right conspiracies, and dreams of a Mars colony while Earth burns.
Picture it: Plantation manor homes with LED lighting and central air conditioning, each part of a local apartheid. The 0.5% live a "normal" life, and everyone else is a confined, uneducated slave. No escape. No future.
To most, this sounds like scary, deranged shit. To doomers, it's a nightmare. To billionaires? It's their plan.
We shouldn't have billionaires. That idea seems irrational because we're trapped in the capitalist matrix, where such talk is blasphemy. But our perceptions are distorted, and the blue pill is in our blood.
Tax multi-million-dollar incomes into oblivion. No one needs a billion dollars. No one earns a billion dollars. They steal it. From workers, from the planet, and from your future. If we don't stop them, their "end times fascism" will ensure that the future belongs only to them.
