  1. Gerade eine Doku über #Próspera gesehen. Unfassbar widerliche Menschen. Meine Meinung.

    Libertärer Bullshit. Ich. Ich. Ich. Kenne aber viele Leute auch hier, die da gut passen würden.

    Es funktioniert für dich, wenn:
    - jung und gesund
    - rücksichtslos
    - empathiebefreit
    - unsolidarisch

    sonst nicht!

  2. Libertäre Parasiten verdrängen mit ihren Privat-Städten die Einheimischen, nutzen die dortige Infrastruktur, zahlen aber keinerlei Steuern. Unproduktive Elemente nicht erwünscht.

    Das ist maximal widerlich!

  3. "[t]he Delaware-based company that founded this experimental town in 2017 has raised $120 million in investments — including from venture-capital funds backed by the Silicon Valley billionaires Peter Thiel, Sam Altman and Marc Andreessen — to transform the territory, about twice the size of Monaco, into the most developed start-up city in the world. Built in a semiautonomous jurisdiction known as a ZEDE (a Spanish acronym for Zone for Employment and Economic Development), Próspera is a private, for-profit city, with its own government that courts foreign investors through low taxes and light regulation. Businesses can choose a regulatory framework from a menu of 36 countries or customize their own.

    A California company offers a Montessori education for approximately 60 students. Security is provided by a private firm of armed guards. An arbitration center staffed by three retired Arizona judges handles dispute resolution. (In order to enter the jurisdiction, I was told I needed to sign an “agreement of coexistence” binding myself to 4,202 pages of rules, violations of which would be subject to the jurisdictional authority of the arbitration center.)"

  8. “Why Did Trump Pardon the Former Honduran President? Follow the Tech Bros *** With Roger Stone taking a victory lap for having come up with the idea in the first place.” By @[email protected], 12/3/25 (Thanks for the hat tip, Kiera!) #networkstate #Prospera

    Why did Trump pardon the forme...

  9. Wait… something’s fishy here. #Trump is pardoning the very convicted and imprisoned drug dealing former Honduran president who authorized #Prospera the #Libertarian #billionaire city. “There’s an island in Honduras called Roatan that’s home to a city started and funded by a bunch of freak libertarian billionaires who never matured into full adults. And, as such, wish the rules of the world didn’t apply to them.
    “So, they created Próspera, a libertarian dream city with extremely low tax rates and few regulations. It’s a place where the extremely rich, petulant, and deeply unethical created in the hope of establishing a true utopia exclusively so a bunch of manchildren with too much money could foster unhindered innovation.
    “It ends up coming off more as a rebranded version of colonialism. And Hondurans are aware of that. It looks like that dream could be crumbling—to the surprise of absolutely no one other than the dipshits involved.” #LATAM #Honduras

    > "Since the government doesn’t seem to be able to legally shut down #Prospera, they’ve resorted to harassing it - especially trying to debank it. This might have worked, if not for the fact that a certain $4 trillion weird Ponzi casino industry has always imagined itself as having a fig-leaf purpose of “what if a utopian libertarian island-city got debanked by a repressive socialist government and could only save itself if there were a entirely new kind of financial infrastructure totally different from the regular one?”; although I imagine they were just as surprised as anyone else when this exact scenario suddenly played out in real life, nobody can deny they were extremely prepared for it."

  16. after murdering a bunch of couriers on some (alleged) drug boats trump now intends to pardon former president of #Honduras Juan Orlando #Hernandez who, in between trafficking at least 400 tonnes of cocaine into the US because he wanted to “shove drugs right up the noses of the gringos”, was the guy who set up the network state city of #Prospera with Peter #Thiel etc. as a “special economic zone”.

    > "The zone recently made #Bitcoin legal tender and passed legislation facilitating the issuance of Bitcoin bonds. Próspera’s investors include Silicon Valley heavyweights such as Peter Thiel and Marc Andreessen through #Pronomos Capital."

    99% chance it’s the Network State/Nerd Reich guys (thiel, andreessen, etc.) up in trump’s ear telling him a cocaine kingpin with whom they founded a fake country deserves a pardon at the same time as they encourage him to murder the poors who actually do the trafficking with the new weapons systems they’re selling him.

  23. #ProgressIreland, backed by (notional) billionaire Collison brothers (Stripe Inc), sounds disturbingly like the #deregulatory #neoliberal #billionaire #lobby group #StartupNation / #Próspera.

    progressireland.org/ - a veneer of "housing, infrastructure and innovation"

    independent.ie/irish-news/coll - a couple of billionaires tell us nobody wants "the red tape & ecological paperwork that prevent housing, energy infrastructure, transit & other important works" (or maintain standards & protect us).

  24. one of the goals of #tRumpism is to prevent individuals from suing #bigcorp. but in their fight to establish their #feudal governments they are suing.

    "...[t]hese crypto coiners have found themselves at the centre of political intrigue and have had to resort to suing Honduras through the investor-state dispute settlement, a little-known but central component of global capitalism’s neoliberal bureaucracy. "...

  27. Trump wants to buy #Greenland so his Nerd Reich buddies can launch one of their "Network State" #libertarian utopia / hellhole #cryptocurrency cities on it.

    "The Network State" is a nonsense idea from #Balaji, #PeterThiel, #MarcAndreessen, and a bunch of other #crypto creeps of a series of offshore cities where there are no poor people (other than the servants) and no pesky laws (especially laws against things like #moneylaundering).

    see also: #Prospera in #Honduras and a few others that already are out there and are definitely not deeply resented by the native populations and/or trying to bankrupt the countries they're located in.

    "The week of my visit, Patri Friedman, grandson of the economist Milton Friedman and the founder of a start-up-cities fund that invested in Próspera, had a chip with his Tesla key implanted into his hand. On a previous trip he brushed his teeth with genetically modified bacteria purported to prevent cavities. Another time he was injected with a protein booster intended to make him 'stronger and faster,' as he put it at a conference in Roatán that weekend."

    "Critics have described it as a neocolonial state within a state, or an example of corporate monarchy, where yacht-owning C.E.O.s exploit land and labor in a poor country."

  36. @ct_bergstrom This is not about losing one's mind, but about gaining control, and about implementing exactly what has been proposed.

    Erecting de-facto democracy-free zones has been on the billionaire agenda for more than a decade, and flexibly called "going to #Mars", "#CharterCities", "#ModelCities"; or implemented in #Cayalá; cast into #ZEDE laws used against the very country they're in, like w/ #Próspera that asks the #US (!) to "encourage" (!) #Honduras to "respect its legal commitments".

  37. End of the line for corporate sovereignty pluralistic.net/2024/03/27/kor

    The modern ISDS was perfected in the 1990s with the Energy Charter Treaty. The ECT was meant to foam the runway for western corporations seeking to take over ex-Soviet energy facilities, by making those new post-Glasnost governments promise to never pass laws that would undermine foreign companies' profits.
