Big Tech “Far-Right” Billionaires want to Eliminate Politicians and “Democracy” as They Believe They can Run the World Better by Themselves
I have frequently reported in my articles that politicians are not the main people who run the U.S., but that Wall St. billionaires and Silicon Valley billionaires do. Unlike publicly visible politicians who at least have the illusion of accountability, the billionaires who fund them usually do not. So it is a rare treat when I find an article like the one that The Information published in their Weekend publication that does just that, and exposes where a lot of the new "Far Right" ideology originates from that many Silicon Valley billionaires subscribe to. The article was written by Julia Black, and titled: "The Far-Right Guru Who Has Befriended Silicon Valley’s Extreme Factions". Judging by the comments submitted to the article so far, it appears that this article is sending shock waves among those in Tech. Featured in the article is one of Big Tech's own, J.D. Vance, who recently became Trump's Vice President choice, and how he has been influenced by Peter Thiel, who for years has followed the teachings of Curtis Yarvin, who believes "democracy" in the U.S. should be replaced by a "monarchy" instead. These new Big Tech "conservatives" use familiar terms with the Right, but with completely different meanings. So while "limited government" is a traditional, conservative and libertarian value, they take it even further by advocating NO government. Curtis Yarvin's idea of running America like a corporation began to influence Peter Thiel around 2007-2009. They began to see CEOs of Big Tech as "all-powerful rulers," even suggesting that Apple co-founder Steve Jobs should have been given "absolute power over the state of California." These ideas may seem outrageous and even "fringe", but they have made inroads into American politics for years now, including Steve Bannon, who served in Trump's first term.
