There were questions in here about the unexpected shift from European alliances to introversion within North America plus Greenland. I’m suggesting you guys take a look at the Technocracy Movement of early 1900s including 1940’s and maybe include in a story if you find it interesting.

There were questions in here about the unexpected shift from European alliances to introversion within North America plus Greenland. I’m suggesting you guys take a look at the Technocracy Movement of early 1900s including 1940’s and maybe include in a story if you find it interesting. Start with the Wikipedia entry and look at the 1940 map of the proposed “Technate”, and see that it includes Canada and Greenland. Note that it was banned in 1940 for being unwilling to support fighting against fascist Germany. Note that a director was arrested named Joshua Norman Hadelman in 1940 for his affiliation with that group. Note that this is Elon’s maternal grandfather, who emigrated to Apartheid South Africa after the allies won the war and his anti-democracy techno-monarchy initiative fizzled. I’m sure there’s other detail somewhere beyond the Wikipedia summary that could show even more parallels to what is being pushed by the new administration. These ideas seem to date at least as far back as WWII anti-democracy propaganda designed to both undermine democracy and discourage anything beyond diplomatic relations beyond our shores. You may find it a little eerie to read through.
