Title is clickbaity, but its a solid video by More Perfect Union about how a bunch of crypto tech bros are sueing rural land owners in California to force them to sell their land so they can build what amounts to Rapture from bioshock, with the libertarian leaders of the project even using Ayn Rand quotes about it.

Pretty crazy stuff.

I think the bigger story is that they're using the court systems to try and kick people off land they've held for generations, and are clearly trying to revive Company Towns now that we're back to 19th century wealth disparity again. Absolutely fucked up.
