I can't stop laughing

Apparently a bunch of libertarian crypto bros are trying to buy an island in Fiji and set it up as their own private libertarian paradise. It's going about as well as you might imagine. In other words, it's shaping up to be as much of a scam and a disaster as Fyre Festival, or that time a bunch of libertarian crypto bros tried to buy a cruise ship, or that time a bunch of libertarians set up their own tax-free township in a rural part of the US and it got overrun with bears.

The whole thing could just be an exquisitely on-the-nose piece of satirical performance art, I suppose.

However, nothing I've seen so far has swayed me from my opinion that crypto is basically a multilevel marketing scam aimed at tech bros.

This is almost better than the crypto bros trying to set up a floating, ocean-going pod society.

That was so delightful. Also the Libertarians taking over a town and then getting attacked by bears.

One of my very favorite subgenres of real life is "Libertarians attempt to create Libertarian paradise; consequences ensue."

Oh my God, I'd forgotten about that one. Like rachelmanija, this is one of my favourite genres of real-life literature.
