The Rise of Tech-Fueled Privatized Sovereignty: From Trump's Gaza Fantasy to Network States
By
Gil Duran
Summary
This article examines the convergence of Trump's authoritarian fantasies (like a Gaza resort) with a new breed of tech-fueled, anti-democratic extremism. It highlights how figures like Marc Andreessen, Sam Altman, and Peter Thiel are funding projects (e.g., Praxis building a tech-owned city on Greenland) that privatize sovereignty, while Elon Musk gains unprecedented state power. The piece argues this "network state" movement is crypto-financed and cloaked in libertarian language, representing a fundamental threat to democratic governance.
