Buying land in rural California to potentially incorporate a new town is not remotely comparable to seceding from the United States.
Some fun absurdities:
- The article repeatedly refers to the plan as “secretive” while also discussing “packed town hall meetings”, official statements, lawsuits, etc
- there is a link to a supposed lawsuit, which actually links to an obituary.
- the term “network zone” is defined as some kind of physical dystopian neighborhood with a billionaire ruling as king, but the linked definition describes the term as having to do with online forums.
- the article defines secession as “paying people in gold or crypto” and attending private school.
It’s a wild ride.
Company towns are nothing if not the most American thing a businessman can do!
The media blitz is going to be insane for those poor people.
