@gilduran So not surprised Patrick Schumacher is the architect who designed some of Próspera's[1] first buildings. Ideologically he seems fully aligned...
Wikipedia: "[...] prompted controversy by promoting pro-free market ideas against social housing, housing regulations, and a centralised urban planning system. [...] He advocates for the full decentralization and privatization of architecture, planning, and development, envisioning a competitive landscape of mini-polities organized as corporations vying in the market for communal living."[2]
His 2016 call for "all social housing and public spaces to be scrapped"[3] was probably the clearest signal...
I already got similar impressions from his comments at a student critique session we both were invited to at the Architecture Association DRL school in London around 2009... 🙄

Network State company Praxis has a recommended reading list featuring Nazi mysticism and ”race science” for new joiners.
But they also have Peter Thiel’s, Winklewosses and other’s billions, and can wield MAGA around like a blunt instrument as they please.
All that was old is new again.

"Trump has expressed some interest in this idea; on the campaign trail, he proposed building “freedom cities” on federal land.
Still, it’s not entirely clear why the American president would care so much about saving a special economic zone in Latin America. That is, until one takes a look at Próspera’s Trump-aligned investors. That list includes Paypal’s Thiel, a Trump campaign donor who also is said to have played a key role in the selection of JD Vance as Trump’s running mate. Another prominent Próspera investor is venture capitalist Andreessen, who made significant campaign contributions to Trump and has also served as an adviser. Both Andreessen and Thiel have investment companies that benefit from government tech and defense contracts awarded under Trump.
At any rate, Stone appears to be taking a victory lap for having engineered the pardon. “Thank you, President Trump, for doing justice and granting the presidential pardon in the case of former Honduran president Juan Orlando Hernández, who was framed by Biden for an alleged drug trafficking that never existed,” he posted last week. “For a long time, I have advocated for a pardon in this case.”"

Wer den Staat abschaffen will, braucht einen Plan B. Tech-Milliardäre wünschen sich „Freedom Cities“ – Städte, die nach rein wirtschaftlicher Logik funktionieren. Oder gleich eine eigene Weltraumkolonie.

"The experiment was called the “Free Town Project” (it later became the “Free State Project”), and the goal was simple: take over Grafton’s local government and turn it into a libertarian utopia. The movement was cooked up by a small group of ragtag libertarian activists who saw in Grafton a unique opportunity to realize their dreams of a perfectly logical and perfectly market-based community..."

The dystopian "#FreedomCities" dream fueling #ElonMusk's destruction
Tech's plans for #BillionaireRule expose why Musk wants to end government by the people
By Amanda Marcotte
Senior Writer
Published March 17, 2025"In our cynical times, most people are familiar enough with doublespeak to understand that anything called a 'freedom city' is likely to be the opposite. It's a sign of the delusional self-confidence in their own mendacious powers that the tech oligarchs who are financing this idiotic idea insist on going with that branding anyway. Investigative reporters Vittoria Elliott and Caroline Haskins published an in-depth report on this scheme for Wired earlier this month. What immediately becomes clear is that what the Silicon Valley billionaire class considers 'freedom cities' is simply neo-feudalism, a plan to end the concept of citizenship and make every working person a serf whose entire life is controlled by the whims of their boss."

@Edelruth
Could this be a reason some want to build/install #FreedomCities ?
Because Islands and bunkers are not enough and they want their "own" societies to actually "care" for each of "them"?
Those "constructs"wouldn't be possible or lasting in any democracy. 🤔 -
@rtp_tips Thanks for the Video. The idea of “Freedom Cities” has a bad vibe to it, especially after reenacting the #AlienEnemiesAct.
I feel a disturbing closeness to the Ghettos of the 3rd Reich, not saying they are exactly the same, but they feel like a neo-feudalist surveillance capitalist law free zone.

Krieg ist Frieden!
Freiheit ist Sklaverei!"Es ist ein Merkmal des Faschismus, dass er die Sprache zynisch umwandelt und so ein großes Verbrechen als etwas Positives darstellt. Genau das geschieht auch mit den “Freedom Cities”."

“#FreedomCities”: Der Traum von den #Sklavenstädte'n [von #Thiel -> #Palantir]
"Medizinische Unternehmen können ihre neu entwickelten Produkte einfach gleich an Menschen testen, ohne dass es zuvor lange Testreihen gegeben hat. Andere Unternehmen können Arbeitskräfte ohne Regeln für Arbeitszeit, Lohn oder Sicherheit und selbstverständlich ohne jede Form von Arbeitsrechten, Gewerkschaften oder Betriebsräten einsetzen."

Was haltet ihr von der Idee der #FreedomCities? Sind sie der Weg in die Zukunft oder ein gefährliches Experiment?

„Klinische Tests ohne Genehmigung, autonome Autos ohne Auflagen, Kernreaktoren und Nuklearenergie ohne staatliche Überwachung und eine Sonderwirtschaftszone, in der es kaum Steuern zu zahlen gibt und auch die Rechte von Arbeitskräften außer Kraft gesetzt werden. So stellen sich zahlreiche Chefs der Big-Tech-Unternehmen und US-Investoren die Zukunft vor – von Peter Thiel bis Sam Altman und Marc Andreessen. Donald Trump soll es möglich machen. Schon 2023 hatte er im Wahlkampf davon gesprochen, solche Freedom Cities in den USA zu ermöglichen.…“

The architects of projects like #Próspera are drafting legislation to create US cities that would be free from federal regulations.
