Peter Thiel and Curtis Yarvin, those are the names you need to remember. The Rockbridge Network’s goal is to control U.S. politics through a centrally-controlled network of extremist right-wing political groups, backed by tech billionaires who helped bankroll J.D. Vance’s political rise. Members include J.D. Vance and Chris Buskirk (Co-founders) and Peter Thiel (major donor and financier, also the founder/chairman of Palantir), with Curtis Yarvin being another name and financier of Vance’s political career. 

Curtis Yarvin, and his “dark enlightenment” theory, is quite literally sociopathic insanity aimed at solidifying power for the billionaire class at any and all costs, and Peter Thiel completely subscribes to this theory as well. Peter Thiel is the founder of Palantir, which is currently overtaking U.S. government contracts and putting all American citizens into an AI database aimed at controlling the population. Vance owes his entire career to Thiel and does Thiel’s bidding. Both Yarvin and Thiel have made frequent and extremely troubling comments in regards to the freedom and rights of people in general, here are a fraction of these quotes: 

Curtis Yarvin:

• “Therefore, the most profitable disposition for this dubious form of capital is to convert them (non-productive people) into biodiesel, which can help power the Muni buses.” – Yarvin on killing anyone he considered non-productive and turning their bodies into biofuel.
• “Our goal, in short, is a humane alternative to genocide.” – Further thoughts from Yarvin regarding non-productive people. 
• “[Governments] should be replaced by a global spiderweb of…independent mini-countries, each governed by its own joint-stock corporation without regard to the residents’ opinions.” – Yarvin on dismantling existing governments with his idea of replacements.
• “Security cameras are ubiquitous…to monitor society at an almost arbitrary detailed level.” – Yarvin on total governmental surveillance of the people.
• “American democracy should be replaced by what he calls a “monarchy” run by what he has called a “C.E.O.” – New York Time on Curtis Yarvin.

Peter Thiel:

• “The basic idea was we could never win an election on…getting certain things because we were in such a small minority. But maybe you could actually unilaterally change the world without having to constantly convince people and beg people and plead with people who are never going to agree with you through technological means. And this is where I think technology is this incredible alternative to politics.” – Thiel in 2010 at Libertopia on using technology to override politics and install his own widely unappealing political beliefs. 
• “Since 1920, the vast increase in welfare beneficiaries and the extension of the franchise to women — two constituencies that are notoriously tough for libertarians — have rendered the notion of ‘capitalist democracy’ into an oxymoron.” – Thiel on why women shouldn’t be allowed to vote.
• Thiel attempted to discredit the idea of date rape – he wrote that the definition of rape had been erroneously expanded to include “seductions that are later regretted.” 
• The entirety of his book “The Diversity Myth: Multiculturalism and Political Intolerance on Campus,” including quotes such as, “the purpose of the rape crisis movement seems as much about vilifying men as about raising ‘awareness’.”
