• Capture of U.S. Critical Infrastructure by Neoreactionaries. February 5, 2025

Description

"Praxis aims to “restore Western Civilization and pursue our ultimate destiny of life among the stars.” Praxis is a crypto-native city-state, aligned with the network state ideology. Praxis founder Dryden Brown traveled to Greenland in late 2024 in an attempt to buy land or establish a charter city. The project gained renewed relevance as Musk supported interest in annexing Greenland, with officials suggesting that U.S. control over the island could be secured through economic leverage or diplomatic pressure.

Brown has framed Praxis as part of a broader geopolitical expansionist project, positioning Praxis as a test case for "Terminus," a Mars-based city concept favored by Elon Musk. The initiative has attracted ~500M in funding from various investors, including Paradigm Capital (backed by former Coinbase founder Fred Ehrsam), FTX, Joe Lonsdale (former Palantir co-Founder) and Pronomos Capital (backed by Peter Thiel and Patri Friedman).

The project has actively recruited young, male "hardtech" entrepreneurs. Praxis has faced backlash for its Eurocentric, elite-driven ideology, including past claims that Western beauty standards are superior. Former Praxis employees claim that Brown talked about attracting top tech talent to the futuristic city with “hot girls” and lavish parties. Brown insinuated on X that the West Bank will be used for a new charter city."
