sheislaurenceMy favourite #YanisVaroufakis' "translations" of the #Palantir manifesto are these two. They show how fundamentally aligned #PeterThiel and #ElonMusk are, based on a shared #whitesupremacist #fascist #plutocratic vision of society.

@Npars01 @augieray Thanks for the documentation!! I know that many find the claim "Death is the goal" incredible, but without understanding that, it’s impossible to gain any genuine overall understanding of the thinking and behavior of #plutocrats.
I wish more people would read "Eichmann in Jerusalem" by Hannah #Arendt. Toward the end of that book, she points out that the need to use the labor of the German working class required the Nazis to limit their #Holocaust to particular groups (Jews, Romani, Slavs, homosexuals, etc.) — and she speculates that in the future, automation might render mass labor unnecessary, and open the possibility of a Holocaust of the vast majority of the human species, regardless of ethnicity. Today's #oligarchs think we're there already, or very soon will be.
In a way, emphasizing the racism of the #plutocracy misses the point, and reinforces the false sense of invulnerability that the Right's white mass base feels. They are seriously kidding themselves if they think their white skin will save them from the fate their #plutocratic masters have in store for them.

@[email protected] "You don't tolerate a fascist for the same reason that you don't tolerate malignant cancer." Indeed you don't. Because THEY WILL KILL YOU IF YOU LET THEM. Already in the 1960s Hannah #Arendt foresaw the rise of a version of fascism that would attempt a #Holocaust aimed not merely at particular ethnicities and lifestyles, but at the entire mass of the people. The original #Nazis knew they needed at least the German working class. Today's #oligarchs think they can automate all the work — as Arendt foresaw. THEY WANT TO KILL US ALL. This is not hyperbole but literal truth. BTW this includes their own #MAGA mass base. All the minions are suckers. #exterminism #DeathWithDeniability
@Npars01 @augieray Quite simply:
THEY WANT US DEAD.
Our death is not collateral damage from #plutocratic crime.
It is the goal.
They don't want to share the world with us.
wendythedruid@Nonilex This is #authoritarianism — specifically resembling a #plutocratic strongman style, where personal whim replaces institutional process and economic power is wielded as a weapon against perceived slights.
#Trump is a problem. And it needs fixing and quickly.

AKs 4 Sustainable BudgetsThe core of any Alaska fiscal proposal is how it deals with the "free money" from PF earnings. PFD shares below 50/50 disproportionately benefit the Top20%, #NonRez & #OilCos over MIDDLE & lower-income (80% of) #AKfams. #akleg #plutocratic https://buff.ly/ZGoc6eJ

"I don’t think any Democrat could’ve won this election. Maybe, if there were a #BernieSanders-like outsider figure, different enough from Joe Biden and Harris to not seem like a continuation of them, and possessed of Trump-like abilities to tune into the grievances and alienation of working-class people, that person could have won. (Biden himself, before his cognitive decline, had those qualities; he was known as Scranton Joe, after all.) But even then, that candidate would have to buck a global trend. I doubt anyone could do that."

EndemicEarthling@selzero 'Voting with your wallet' means one dollar/pound/euro/yen/denarius = one vote.
It's about as blatantly #plutocratic as you can be.
Postscript
I said earlier that the information landscape has changed. At one level, it has. At another very important level, this change has primarily been in the experience of many of us in (so-called) western liberal democracies, who previously enjoyed the #privilege of feeling less routinely lied. Citizens of the majority world have for decades/lifetimes experienced a similar pattern of shamelessly manipulative falsehoods and consequence-free empty promises from leaders in the #ImperialCore.
Once citizens in these colonising and settler-colonial wealthy nations realise that, then the potential for genuine #solidarity across national, colonial and generational boundaries begins to open. And that solidarity represents the only genuine threat to the #plutocratic divide-and-conquer agenda that is as old as time and which is currently hurtling us collectively towards an uninhabitable Earth.
Solidarity or hell-on-Earth: these are only two paths currently available. Indeed, given the enormous success of this #InformationWarfare over recent decades, this is reduced to one choice: solidarity amidst our unfolding hell-on-Earth or collapse, mass death and the extinction of the last shreds of human dignity, kindness and joy. Let us each choose wisely.
