A growing number of individuals and groups on the right are turning their back on conservatism without giving up the label. They have abandoned the three-legged stool of fiscal conservatism, traditional values, and a foreign policy approach of peace through strength. Instead, they want to harness the power of the federal government to punish the left and implement their preferred policy agenda. They give no credence to the guiding principles of limited government and instead are happy to use big government in order to win. I wrote about this in National Review here:
"Holy zoinks! I can't believe conservatives no longer believe in free markets and small government! When did this happen????"

Crushing the left and adopting a positive traditional framework of rules and norms is good, actually.
Why the frick is Sargon of Asskad talking like a soy redditor? "Ummmm being based is good, actually, sweaty."

This fat pig is beyond parody. He claims that if Republicans use power, then watch out! Democrats will retaliate. Hello? Where has this guy been for the last 10 years? Other than camping out at the all you can eat Chinese Buffett.
"Yes I'm a lispy male feminist lolcow....but at least im not a.....CUCKSERVATIVE!!!"
It feels like we have a rightoid struggle session every other week. We last had one over a calendar not being based and conservativepilled.

Was making corn beer in my pjs, had no pants pockets so I put it in my breast, bent over to stir a bucket and PLOP.
It still more or less works after a bunch of cleanings. Only issues have been it thinking I had wired headphones plugged in all the time.

To fully grasp the current situation in San Francisco, where venture capitalists are trying to take control of City Hall, you must listen to Balaji Srinivasan. Before you do, steel yourself for what's to come: A normal person could easily mistake his rambling train wrecks of thought for a crackpot's ravings, but influential Silicon Valley billionaires regard him as a genius.
βBalaji has the highest rate of output per minute of good new ideas of anybody I've ever met,β wrote Marc Andreessen, co-founder of the V.C. firm Andreessen-Horowitz, in a blurb for Balaji's 2022 book, The Network State: How to Start a New Country. The book outlines a plan for tech plutocrats to exit democracy and establish new sovereign territories. I mentioned Balaji's ideas in two previous stories about Network Stateβrelated efforts in Californiaβa proposed tech colony called California Forever and the tech-funded campaign to capture San Francisco's government.
Balaji, a 43-year-old Long Island native who goes by his first name, has a solid Valley pedigree: He earned multiple degrees from Stanford University, founded multiple startups, became a partner at Andreessen-Horowitz and then served as chief technology officer at Coinbase. He is also the leader of a cultish and increasingly strident neo-reactionary tech political movement that sees American democracy as an enemy. In 2013, a New York Times story headlined βSilicon Valley Roused by Secession Callβ described a speech in which he βtold a group of young entrepreneurs that the United States had become βthe Microsoft of nations': outdated and obsolescent.β
βThe speech won roars from the audience at Y Combinator, a leading start-up incubator,β reported the Times. Balaji paints a bleak picture of a dystopian future in a U.S. in chaos and decline, but his prophecies sometimes fall short. Last year, he lost $1 million in a public bet after wrongly predicting a massive surge in the price of Bitcoin.
Still, his appetite for autocracy is bottomless. Last October, Balaji hosted the first-ever Network State Conference. Garry Tanβthe current Y Combinator CEO who's attempting to spearhead a political takeover of San Franciscoβparticipated in an interview with Balaji and cast the effort as part of the Network State movement. Tan, who made headlines in January after tweeting βdie slow motherloversβ at local progressive politicians, frames his campaign as an experiment in βmoderateβ politics. But in a podcast interview one month before the conference, Balaji laid out a more disturbing and extreme vision.
βWhat I'm really calling for is something like tech Zionism,β he said, after comparing his movement to those started by the biblical Abraham, Jesus Christ, Joseph Smith (founder of Mormonism), Theodor Herzl (βspiritual fatherβ of the state of Israel), and Lee Kuan Yew (former authoritarian ruler of Singapore). Balaji then revealed his shocking ideas for a tech-governed city where citizens loyal to tech companies would form a new political tribe clad in gray t-shirts. βAnd if you see another Gray on the street β¦ you do the nod,β he said, during a four-hour talk on the Moment of Zen podcast. βYou're a fellow Gray.β
The Grays' shirts would feature βBitcoin or Elon or other kinds of logos β¦ Y Combinator is a good one for the city of San Francisco in particular.β Grays would also receive special ID cards providing access to exclusive, Gray-controlled sectors of the city. In addition, the Grays would make an alliance with the police department, funding weekly βpoliceman's banquetsβ to win them over.
βGrays should embrace the police, okay? All-in on the police,β said Srinivasan. βWhat does that mean? That's, as I said, banquets. That means every policeman's son, daughter, wife, cousin, you know, sibling, whatever, should get a job at a tech company in security.β
In exchange for extra food and jobs, cops would pledge loyalty to the Grays. Srinivasan recommends asking officers a series of questions to ascertain their political leanings. For example: βDid you want to take the sign off of Elon's building?β
This refers to the August 2023 incident in which Elon Musk illegally installed a large flashing X logo atop Twitter headquarters, in violation of building safety codes. City inspectors forced him to remove it. This was the second time Musk had run afoul of the city in his desire to refurbish his headquarters: In July, police briefly halted his attempt to pry the βTwitterβ signage from the building's exterior. But in Balaji's dystopia, he implies that officers loyal to the Grays would let Musk do as he pleases (democratically inclined officers, he suggests, can be paid to retire).
Simply put, there is a ton of fascist-chic cosplay involved. Once an officer joins the Grays, they get a special uniform designed by their tech overlords. The Grays will also donate heavily to police charities and βmerge the Gray and police social networks.β Then, in a show of force, they'll march through the city together.

Like 9 months ago I started working on a two part comic but stopped due to burnout, college work, and my irl job.
Since I have more free time, I have started work back up on the project, and would estimate it is about 20% done with around 8 hours of work already put into it.
All of it is done with mouse and keyboard so it takes a really fricking long time lol.
I may make a thread to share update about it later, so look out for it!
