I wonder if one of them is Elon's grandfather. That would still be interesting info.

Yes, but his grandfather fled Canada for S. Africa after they banned talk of technostates because it involved taking down the government. See here.

This same philosophy is where Curtis Yarvin got the Dark Enlightenment movement (think dark MAGA and Elon's black maga hat). Yarvin fans are Peter Theil, JD Vance, and others. There is a whole movement to dismantle the US gov for a techno monarchy that can be traced back to Elon's grandfather in Canada.

It's scary that so many people don't know about the Dark Enlightenment and accelerationist reactionary agenda.

Grandparents on mother's side left Canada in 1950.

Typically federal liberal cowardice.

There have been 5 conservative prime ministers since then, serving a total of 10 terms. None of them released this information, either.

Yeah because the conservatives did anything about it at any time they were in power. Also fascism, of which naszis are the archetype example, is a conservative philosophical extreme. Do you just post the same anti-ljberal bot comments everywhere you go?

Canada is not a 2-party system. Enough with calling anyone who criticizes red tories who vote alongside blue tories secretly cons or mls.
