Well at least #Muskism has a slightly neater ring to it than #Broligarchy, but they amount to much the same. Good review by @[email protected]. www.theguardian.com/books/2026/m...

NEW: I’ve found an opaque financial vehicle owns a large chunk of the Observer. And neither it or the Guardian will say who it is. Why? Well there is a clue. Which goes by way of Saudi Arabia… 1/ https://open.substack.com/pub/broligarchy/p/the-broligarchys-war-on-journalism?r=nv9u6&utm_medium=ios https://substack.com/@carolecadwalla/note/p-184097202?r=nv9u6&utm_medium=ios&utm_source=notes-share-action

so New York Times has gone all out to make the case that César Chávez, the famous Mexican-American farming #labor #union organizer, was an abuser.

meanwhile nary a peep about the #techbros #broligarchy in the #EpsteinFiles and the relationship between their participation in extracurricular activities within Jeffrey Epstein's network and their current billionaire valuations.

to nuyoricans, NYT has been notoriously anti-Latino. their timing on these anti-Chavez news is suss as fuck.

the #pedophilia #rapes #murders have been part of the Silicon Valley #wealth #valuation process. you don't need to read all the #JeffreyEpstein #EpsteinFiles to get that the #broligarchy isn’t a meritocracy based on assets. it’s based on what they could get away with; especially the most unspeakable of crimes.

Have you read "1984" by George Orwell? Good idea? Bad idea?

According to #Microsoft (and the other US Big Tech), this will be our reality. Rob Braxman's analysis is to the point:

"The Epstein Class is laughing all the way to the bank, drinking our tears as sugar for their expensive coffee. ... As we die and suffer, they laugh and make money off of AI, Crypto, and war."

"AI, like war, is a hyper-masculine fantasy of God-like power. But it’s nothing of the sort: it’s just a story, a myth, that’s being imposed on us by a self-interested cohort of unaccountable men succoured by a pliant and incurious press.

Forget Andrew Tate, this is the real manosphere. One whose edges we can’t even see because we’re living inside it. Our world is controlled by these men, their platforms, their alliances with nation states – technology-fuelled political power which is only accelerating and gathering strength.

When I coined the word “broligarchy”, it wasn’t as a cutesy pun."

Hooked on dopamine, fuelled by testosterone, powered by AI: this is the broligarchs’ war

Three weeks ago, briefly, the world was focused on Jeffrey Epstein’s abuse of women and girls. Now, as conflict rages, the tide of hyper-masculinity has risen again, writes Carole Cadwalladr

"The news cycle hasn’t just moved on [from Epstein]: we are now deep into the testosterone zone, the fizzing, almost sexual excitement of war. This is what the early stages of all wars look like. …

AI, like war, is a hyper-masculine fantasy of God-like power."
