Evil Billionaires Are Planning For Societal Collapse

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.

Population of Greenland is 56,865.  So if you offered each citizen $1M, it would cost $5.865B.  Would they sell it for $1M each?  Do they have the right to sell it?  Who holds the Title to the property?

This is sort of like the Dutch buying Manhattan Island.  The Natives didn't have property ownership or titles.  So was that sale legal?  Can a whole continent be claimed as property simply by planting a flag?

The whole idea is pretty preposterous, as is the rest of private property law which follows from it.  But that's how the world got divided up in the colonial era.  Billionaires simply want to continue the practice in the modern era.
