Billionaire Basement Boys Club: The Tech Fascists Who Created JD Vance w/ Kate Willett

<p>Comedian and podcaster Kate Willett joins us for a wide-ranging discussion of the San Francisco tech milieu that anointed JD Vance as Donald Trump's VP pick. Unlike the old school robber barons, the tech capitalists of today want more than money; they want to be gods. Via labor arbitrage, political meddling, and even seemingly innocuous ideas like &quot;smart cities,&quot; figures like Peter Thiel, Curtis Yarvin, David Sacks, and Bilaji Srinivasan seek to immiserate the average person, dismantle the government and bring about an anarcho-capitalist dystopia ruled by neo-feudal warlords. But hey, at least they're never going to beat the couch fucking charges.</p> <p>Follow Kate on Instagram: @kate.willett</p> <p>Follow us on Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/party.girls.pod/">@party.girls.pod</a></p> <p>Sign up as a supporter at <a href="https://patreon.com/partygirls">Patreon.com/partygirls</a> to get access to our Discord, a shout out on the pod, and access to all bonus content.</p> <p>Leave us a nice review on <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/party-girls/id1730574777">Apple podcasts</a> if you feel so inclined :)</p>
