Key thing to remember is: They want these fascist fortress cities because *they believe existing nations are going to collapse*
These are escape hatches for a post-democracy world they seek to create. I would argue that they have gotten much farther than they should have. See: DOGE, crypto, etc

The Financial Times finally covers the Network State cult.
Is this tech fascism?
"I mean,we are funding companies that will operate non-democratic cities...and if you're not into that you shouldn't move there," says Peter Thiel protégé Patri Friedman.

Key point in here. Transgender people, cross-dressers and androgynous performers were often mocked or considered weird by much, if not most, of the population, but they *were* considered. They were *accepted* as weird. The zeitgeist now is to disappear them altogether; to pretend they don't exist.
Even as a lifelong Philadelphian, I had not heard much about Harlow; but I remember how, in the 1980s, transgender people and drag received a lot of positive attention (and much milder mockery). I'm looking forward to her memoirs.

They obsess over precise codified answers to "What a woman is" because they need that to deprive women of voting rights.
These are the same far-right Republicans that are funding British “gender-critical feminists” to “protect women” from trans people.
Terrifying.
"More and more, influential voices in the Maga movement and the far-right Republican party are calling to strip women of the franchise."
"The opposition to women’s suffrage has entered the mainstream as the Republican party has radicalized."

The dogs on planes thing is a great example because it was being so widely abused that now airlines cracked down and now require you to document that it's a trained support dog, placing a burden on disabled people bsky.app/profile/flas...
My case would be that it’s enough that you’re regularly seeing it (ie people with their dogs in the store/on planes), and that it going unchecked is damaging to the proverbial social contract.

This is why I think our path out of the nightmare starts with a straight up Cold War 2 with the Russians, where we acknowledge that they have been quietly indoctrinating us against American national and global interests. We need deRussification of the discourse.
One thing I have to point out because a lot of people don't realize it is "the Syria test" was never a tankie/campist ID test, it was an "are you gargling Russian propaganda?" test, it just picks up tankies and campists because of course it does
