#DOGE was clearly a psyop with multiple effects:

1) Made anti-state Bitcoiners and libertarians worship the state again

2) Deconstruct failing control mechanisms (USAID) and replace it by a modern technocratic control system (Palentir)

3) Harvest government data to feed in the new system (Palentir).

The 180 isn't bizarrely, its the logical step after the psyop is completed.
