Bill’s wife left him because of hos trips on the lolita express so he is full mask off now. Cunt
Now if only there was some way to make the weather there a bit more pleasant…
Anyone still supporting US corporations is supporting the machine bringing fascism to the world.
True! Unfortunately amazon, microsoft windows, google are so deeply integrated in the whole society of a lot of countries sobthat a lot of people contribute to fascist powers.
So a fascist wants to invade Greenland. These ghouls want to capitalize on that to build some tech bro dystopia shit. I think we know what we need to call these ghouls. Fascist ghouls.
This is no coincidence. The fascist is a puppet for the ghouls.
OHHH this all makes sense suddenly. Curtis fucking Yarvin the dweeb-villain himself is behind this. Everyone should be aware of the technofeudalist plan to destroy America as we know it and turn it into a network state with monarch-like ultra-authoritarian “CEOs” of each country. Oh and btw Peter Thiel is fully bought into this (there are dozens of verified comms between them), and Thiel owns Vance. So when Trump dies, this is their ultimate plan.
Check out Prospera in Honduras, one early example of these states.
Sounds about right. They know climate change is coming and Greenland will be prime real estate in a few decades.
I don’t think climate change is the primary driver, since they won’t even be alive to see the worst affects of it. Don’t get me wrong it’s going to make everything worse even within 10 years, but it’s not turning Greenland into some habitable, farmable landmass in the span of these technofascists’ lifetimes. God I hate this.
People should read The Ministry for the Future to learn how they dealt with climate criminals as more and more people suffered and died due to climate change in the mid-future.
These people believe that they will actually defeat death itself with technology. It is part of their ideology. Look into transhumanism and how the tech bros heavily buy into the idea that they will outlive us all because they assume themselves to be superior. Thiel openly says so in that Antichrist NYT interview.
Survival of the richest by Douglas Rushkoff (professor of media theory and the guy who coined terms like ‘viral media’ and ‘digital native’) is a very interesting read on that.
That’s not bad though (having a go at death itself, we’re mere machines so why not), we have alleviated suffering and early death with medicine for centuries. They? They are illiterate morons when it comes to biology and will believe anything grifters will sell them, like cold treatments, injecting stem cells and whatever other “silver bullet” treatment. Almost funny how they are getting fooled if it wasn’t diverting so much effort away from real progress.
I genuinely believe you’re underestimating how important legacy is to these people. These rich fucks donating to have anything built is to see their name in stone on the building facade. I think you’re dead wrong that they’d approach this any differently knowing they won’t live to reap their investment, they’ll do exactly that to immortalize their families.
Interesting point. I can see it going both ways. They are fundamentally broken inside with greed and selfishness, but also obsessed with immortality and legacy like you said, so maybe a little of both?
Time to set up the ignobel price 2 for those fuckers
I see it as making Greenland into prime real estate by causing climate change. /s
You jest, but these are egomaniacs that believe they are the harbingers and rulers of a new world. I’m not saying it’s true, however it is totally within the realm of possibility that, at this point, they view their actions as terraforming.
Why can’t we just… like… terraform our current environment? Y’know, like, cleaning the air, soil, and water…? Right…?
I know the answer is because it’s not profitable.
This is why being a philanthropist doesn’t reform a billionaire. They’re making decisions for the rest of us using our money.
The money still have to come from somewhere, either they get it from stock or from investment/project like these.
keep following that chain…where do you think the $ going into the stock market comes from?
ultimately, the entire thing hinges on underpaying people for their labor
Uhh, where do you think i’m going? I thought it’s pretty obvious that i point to both stock and such project, which is very much contradicting to his philanthropy project, but meh people here really need to have thing spell out for them in a wall of text.
Yeah… “fReEdOm CiTy” .
“Finally free from the evils of democracy and rule of law!”
Free to build the data centers necessary to control an army of terminators; to genocide the proles once capitalism no longer requires their labour.
Like, I’m not even joking. I have zero doubt whatsoever that is the final solution in the minds of psychopaths like Thiel or Altman. Humanity is currently a parasite and our civilisation can not continue at the current rate of consumption for more than a couple of centuries without monumental leaps in technology.
New data centers should not exist, but alaska would be a lot easier/less stupid.
Company town.
You get housing and food, but your a SLAVE forever!
Sounds like Elon rhetoric to me
These assholes have worse writing than an uninspired comics writer.
I’m all for this. It will fail spectacularly, and hopefully it will do so with all of them in it.
As a US citizen who will suffer under the embargo the rest of the world will set up around US trade, I will kind of miss things like toothpaste and medicine and food.
All previous nvestigations and attempts at building of infrastructure on Greenland has given the same results: It is not feasible.
This idea of building a biodome city is like people in the 1800s dreaming of flying to the moon using steam engines and gas blimps.
There’s good reason why Greenland/Denmark/China has already given up for now on building the much wanted airport hub and mineral extraction etc. There’s good reasons why USA abandoned their nuclear silos there. At the moment it will cost insane amounts of money if it’s even possible.
Maybe in 50-100 years when the ice has melted, then we can investigate once again to find out if it’s even possible then or if the assumed bedrock under the ice is actually just a pile of mud.
The current knowledge and technology can’t do this in any way that will make any economical sense in comparison to what that amount of money can actually create elsewhere right now.
If the billionaires want to throw all their money at it, sure, go ahead. It’s not going to work, but at least their money will change hands in the process.
What a bunch of lunatics

I just need these guys to lose. To lose as hard as they have ensured everyone else does.
Because they need a place to rape children while stripping American’s of their freedom
Maybe all the shitheads will move over there and the rest of us can get to work on clean night up the country. Although that would mean the poor Greenlanders being drowned out with shithead invaders, which is extremely unfair on them.
Just shows that the idea that Bill Gates was one of the good ones was just PR. There are no good billionaires.
Somebody said that the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation is a way for him to funnel money to his children without paying taxes, and that the disease fighting stuff is just a side benefit.
I mean, the thing is that a donation to philanthropy is tax deductible, so even if you control the charity 100%, it counts. Instead of paying taxes, you’re just paying yourself. And once it’s in that charity, you can use that money for any charitable cause, even if that cause benefits the non-charitable side of your portfolio. This means that you can
- pay for your own PR
- use the charity money to buy a bunch of medicine to eradicate some disease, while you have investments in the pharma company that will provide said medicine
- donate to academia to steer research goals and then become a early investor in any spinoff companies that result from that
- donate to a charity run by a politician/other rich person to curry favour
It’s not a coincidence he’s become richer despite ‘donating his wealth’.
it is 100% a tax-avoidance scheme, they occasionally spend that $ wisely…that $ would 100% be more effeciently spent if done via a properly coordinated/supported government effort.
that being said…in the Land of the Free…considering how shit is run I 100% understand why so many of these people keep as much of their $ as possible out of the feds hands. the ratfucking doesn’t stop when Dem’s are running things, it’s just slightly better hidden.
They have no interest in living a good life for themselves, the main purpose is always to lord over others and stomp on their faces to satisfy sexually sadistic urges.
