I thought we were going to be talking about protocols for post-capitalist expression, which I would still like to talk about because it is a really well worked out critique of capitalism, looking at how we might look at exchanging value differently.
However, in the meantime,
Trump and the people behind Trump.
I think we can all agree that Trump is a useful idiot, that they will continue to prod and push out on the world stage to do his crazy old man in the attic act until he ceases to be useful, at which point they'll get rid of him.
We'll have Vance, who is much, much more scary, I would say, partly because he knows why they're doing what they're doing.
Trump's just a vacuum with a narcissist inside.
But Vance is...
Vance is plugged into the people who want Greenland for very specific reasons, and they're not giving up.
I think we all breathe a sigh of relief when it seemed like he was backing off.
And given that I've read the early drafts of a paper you're producing, I don't think they're backing off.
And nothing else suggests to me that they're backing off.
They've just gone away to think about it a little bit more deeply.
So...
We need to know why they're doing this, I think, all of us, because I think it helps us to understand where geopolitics is going.
And because we are an explicitly Threetopian podcast, I would like us to look at how we might structure the world differently once we understand how certain people are trying to structure it.
So, Andrea, explain to all of us.
In as simple terms as we can for people who aren't international legal lawyers, why do certain players in the American administration so dearly want to get hold of Greenland?
Please go.
Yes, Jess, yes.
Let's unpack network state because you're right.
