This isn't exactly relevant but it's something vaguely interesting I found when scrolling through this thread and which explains a lot about Robert's politics. (cheers @Positron for archiving this)

I've said repeatedly on this thread that Bobby's political beliefs are fascist in the way Mussolini and Mosley were fascists, because he supports a strong, authoritarian state with one national identity and attacking people who fail to conform to that identity, but this screed really proves it. (given the fact that it's full of progressive-sounding buzzwords and makes no sense, I'll stick the full text in a spoiler)
I don't know that they have names as such yet, but using portmanteaus of current nomenclature I'd posit a dominant cultural force that you might call "Green Democratic-Progressive Feudalism" versus a reactionary "Militant Egalitarian Primitivist" movement. The first representing the "matured" evolution of the current unspoken/awkward but none-the-less clear alliance of tech/science industries and knowledge-workers sufficient in size and function to implement the inevitably necessary drastic machinations necessary to manage the reshaping of the world through climate crisis mitigation, the adjacent art/culture/media sector and the creative class workers (both industries so global and powerful that "nationalizing" them under a Green New Deal is really more like an allegiance OF nations)

The other knowledge and intellectual-capital workers of the finance industry (the so-called "PMC"), Left and Center-Left Parties in Democracies, the marginalized citizens of various groups who generally vote for them across class AND the mounting numbers of immigrant and refugee populations brought to those same Democracies by climate change, etc. Right now, a chaotic coalition at best - but given time and realignment? Quite sensible. The other side, in my projection, would comprise an ever-present/ever-shifting reactionary opposition. Initially borne of myriad nationalist resistances to the sweeping changes and unifications necessary to secure the future and thus philosophically/aesthetically grounded in a rough anarcho-primitivist ideology; but in practice: Neo-Fascists, as ever.

Mind you: That's not to say I look at the scenario of "Aesthetically 'woke' future-tech megacorps ruling the planet in quasi-democratic Feudal protectorates because they built the engines making the sky blue again" as a UTOPIA - just plausibly one of our better case scenarios, versus "scorched-Earth dune buggy gang warfare by 2030." I don't want to do FURY ROAD. I don't tan well.

Anyway, the TL;DR there should really be: Good news - We're GOING to get a "Green New Deal."

IRONY: We're gonna get it because, despite the crunchy name, the *smart* capitalists are SALIVATING for it, because they're going to become *God Kings* implementing the thing (Thumb emoji). And the reason the GOP isn't onboard, is because the cheap jack nationalist companies that fill THEIR coffers don't have a place in the world that comes after.

Most of us on this thread know that he's a big fan of eugenics and dividing the world into ”obsolescents” and ”superior futurists” (for lack of a better term), but if you really look into his rant you can see that he believes this and what he really wants in his ”superior future”.

He starts by vomiting out the contents of a thesaurus, but there are some pretty important points in there that really make what he believes clear. He talks about ”green... progressive feudalism” as opposed to a ”reactionary militant egalitarian primitivism”. In short, he believes that a truly progressive state is made up of rulers and the ruled and that the concept that all humans are equal is inherently ”primitive”. If that doesn't scare you, you're not paying attention.

He also implies that ”knowledge-workers” (in other words, the high priests of SCIENCE!!!) should unite with ”intellectual-capital workers of the finance industry” (banks) and ”creative class workers” (which is what he envisages himself as) to rule over ”nationalists” (mayo ghouls). This is literally a replica of the old Finnish feudal system, with the ”creative-class workers” as the nobility, the cult of science as the Church, and the banks as the bourgeoisie, although I'm not sure he knows enough history to realise this.

It's also worth noting that he talks about the Green New Deal here. I try and avoid politisperging on this thread because this isn't A&N and I'd rather not get into a debate over whether climate change exists or what the best way to solve it is, but I've actually read the proposals and they talk about businesses being centrally directed to solve the climate crisis and, knowing Bob, he likes the sound of Washington being able to tell farmers to stop their cows farting because of his ecofascism and hatred for farmers. Bear in mind that feudal lords centrally planned their peasants' economic lives and told them what to plant.

In conclusion, Bob looks at

and sees it as a positive outcome.

TL, DR - Roberto likes the idea of feudalism because he imagines himself as a nobleman, he wrote an essay on Twitter explaining why neo-feudalism is a good thing and why we should all adopt a centrally planned economy because of some proposals written by a third-rate thinktank and which, funnily enough, AOC just so happens to support.

He's Moldbug, only fat and with even larger delusions of grandeur, who deep throats the Cathedral, rather than decrying it.

So who exactly is that blockbuster documentary signed by? The director, or is Chris so arrogant and out of touch he thinks someone would want his signature?

I'd assume Chris bought a copy signed by the director a while back and is trying to get rid of it.

Definitely. Then again, Bob attacks ”the Cathedral” of the Republican Party and wants it to be replaced by an eco-fascist dictatorship.

If Bob had gotten his FUTURE, I don't know what he'd do with it, other than sit in an underwear-strewn moon pod and bitch about the lack of pizza delivery. I mean, a spectacular instance of future tech DID happen in his lifetime -- the World Wide Web -- and he uses it mostly as an insult delivery service.

So long as it kills the rat I couldn't care less who they choose as their social media manager.

I've seen him shill it a bunch don't don't remember ever seeing him say who signed it. He's so attached to Blockbuster I'd think he would value a signed copy slightly less than his children. I'm desperately hoping he bought a copy and scrawled "CHIPPA" across the front in caveman handwriting.

What Robert is asking for are such a paradigm shift discoveries that just don't come across by doing "science". Stomping your feet and asking for progress does't work for shit., much less point to a country that is still struggling on how to bring back a moon rock, something the USA and URSS did more than half a century ago.

This is bad, even for Bob. Bad enough I'm not sure my translation is accurate. Is he suggesting Disney is seeking out a social media manager because "jock actors are a liability for muh didney"? Does he not realize the job is for the poor sap who manages their twitter/facebook account and posts souless memes, not the talents' collective tard wrangler? They have agents/assistant producers for that.
