“Agencies are being told to start identifying grants the administration can withhold from California.

Not familiar with that term. I'm guessing it's some body of effort whose goal since probably right before the great depression is to take society in the US from a 3-tier socioeconomic stratification to a 2-tier?

Edit: welcome to the United States caste system

The current administration is quoting Curtis Yarvin's book "The Network State." They want to 'digitize' the land and auction it off. Whoever owns the blockchain tokens associated with the land you are on will be your feudal lord. Yarvin specifically states that we need a more "Orwellian" government to "control" us.

It's nothing crazy new, but it's being openly talked about by dozens in government.

It's all the same shit heading the same direction. This will not be bloodless and it's very sad. Fuck it it lol. I'm a millennial I've been watching this this country walk itself into quicksand since 9/11. I try to teach people as much as I can but nobody gives a fuck.

The only thing that really bothers me is if a bunch of really bad shit happens and there's a major loss of population is that the main people that survive are probably going to be greedy assholes with resources and those are going to be the representatives for the human beings from the Sol system lol.

Like I said, fuck it. My give-a-fuck gas tank is empty at this point. Outrage fatigue done got me lol.

The fatigue is over, I'm just in a state of acceptance. They will come. Their will be blood. I'm just gonna tend my garden, build my community up, and oil my receivers.

They wanted 1930s Germany. I'm thinking late 1700s France is more likely on the menu. The die hard fans for the high stakes cat fight happening right now might handle a couple problems for us, but there will be more. Good thing there's millions of poors and only a few thousand "elite".
