Seems to me that it’s mostly revenge; dismantling any government agency that has ever thwarted him, or that the right wing does not like. But, I certainly don’t trust his motives…

    If you believe the technocrat mumbo jumbo he’s fracturing central government into tons of little fifedoms that his billionaire buddies can rule. And hopefully while killing bazillions of people as some kind of a ‘market reset’ to drive up shareholder value.

    Fucking terrifying.

      Huh. I see the idea of divide and conquer. But I got a bit lost with “killing bazillions of people as some kind of a ‘market reset’ to drive up shareholder value”. I’m thinking of the black plague, which killed millions, but that increased worker power because survivors had less competition and therefore could demand higher wages.

        I don’t know what the reasoning is, but “they” say there’s too many people and that, like, 2/3rds of humanity should die. Probably due to them being the wrong colour.
