CassieLOL Rupert Murdoch's resignation letter rails against "the elites."
Rupert Murdoch, the 96th richest man in the world, worth $17.4 billion.
The elites.
These fucking people. May his death be slow and painful and without dignity.
Young lily@casseagull God don’t want him. He will only stay in hell.
The Frog@amazing_ama Hell don't want him either, that's why he's only retiring now at 97.
Kingsley Bugarin PLY OAM 🇦🇺As pleased as I will be when this piece of shit dies, preferably as you put it 'slowly, painfully and without dignity' because dying happy in old age would be a win for him, I will not celebrate.
By all accounts his son, Lachlan, is worse.
I am Jack's Lost 404Oh dang I never finished Succession thx for the reminder. No spoilers!
@float13 @casseagull Funny to think that Succession will probably outlive Rupert Murdoch. Maybe that's why he's unhappy. His empire is brittle and worthless.
Feygele Ⓐ Ⓥ🏳️⚧️🍉@casseagull I mean, he can’t just come out and say “the Jews”.
muxauy 🚴🇪🇺@biplanepilot he doesn't need to, the people he's writing to will know the whistle @casseagull
Arrimow@biplanepilot @casseagull exactly what I read into it.
Rams Horn Studios@casseagull He means ((elites)) 🙄
Seiðr@casseagull Dogwhistle for "Jews" if ever I heard one.

@casseagull @lisamelton I think the Right’s use of the word “elites” in a derogatory way is just them admitting they don’t like people smarter than they are.
Ever get called a “geek” or a “brain” growing up and remember their disdain? That was their fear of being seen for what they were—dumb or at least ignorant.
Intelligent Right-wingers use it as populist cudgel. See those “brains” (elites) over there? Let’s go shove them into the lockers.
BoredomFestival@casseagull "the elites" is a dogwhistle for "the jews"
J.H.NoyesYes, the Elites are trying to paint anyone that opposes them as 'The Elites' to get people to stop referring to them as Elites.
Gorba@noyes @casseagull let’s just call them rich MFers, that’s a hard label for Murdoch to run from.

@casseagull I imagine he means anyone educated and/or left of center. I pretty much live pay cheque to pay cheque. Elite has changed since I was young.

@casseagull @NinjaDebugger all 95 of them?

@casseagull Murdoch resigned? From what?
Gary Houston@casseagull this is the best bit "Most of the media is in cahoots with those elites, peddling political narratives rather than pursuing the truth."
@ghouston It's just layers of ridiculous.
@casseagull He's just a common man, doing a hard days work for a fair wage [CEO of one of the largest media conglomerates in the world], and he's surely entitled to have a drink now and again in a pub [private yacht] with a few mates [CEOs, billionaires, presidents, kings] to moan about the elites.
Pēteris Krišjānis@casseagull "liberal elites", those who does not let him everything.
Zorro Notorious MEB 😡@casseagull Rupert Murdoch didn't resign. He is still an owner with all the authority and incentives of an owner, and he still has a loud voice in the decision making.
This is just an old man filing tax paperwork to hoard wealth.

@casseagull i genuinely can't figure out what part of this toot is the most disturbing, but I think it's the fact that having 17.4 BILLION DOLLARS only makes you the 96th richest person in the world.
No one should be allowed to have that much money, ever
Steve@casseagull @vitaminsludge he’ll die knowing despite his huge circle of influence and amassed wealth, he will never attain position number one and that the person who did had done it at a far far younger age. Not that I like that one either.
Flaming June@casseagull Oxford man, I believe.
Raglan Niall 
@casseagull obviously he means the 95 richer than him. Poor guy!
Martha@casseagull
That is beyond ironic
That is beyond ironic
JW prince of CPH@casseagull Worst part is, there's a lot of MAGA middle-class'ers hearing sh*t like this and genuinely - if utterly stupidly - thinking "Yes! One of us!"...
Wladimir Palant@casseagull For him and for the intended audience, “the elites” doesn’t mean the same thing as for you. This is just your plain old antisemitism mildly obfuscated with codewords. Seems to be accepted enough in the US that those people barely feel the need to hide their views. Musk used the exact same codeword and everybody is still considering Musk being an Antisemit an open discussion topic.
Why Not Zoidberg? 🦑@casseagull "Elites" = Jews. It's a do whistle
Dizzy@casseagull i wonder if that's just some sort of dogwhistle? I've heard people use "the elites" as an antisemitic one before
-> @dizzy @casseagull I’ve heard that used for anti-semitic reasons too (plays into the whole “Jews control the world narrative”)
vadergb@casseagull @81732bit there’s few with as much power and influence than Murdoch over the last 40 years. Him blaming the elites is pure bs. Much like most his press.
Nathan Wierink@casseagull he should resign with a heart attack. The devil in disguise.
Jennifer@casseagull holding on to that BS propaganda until the very end! That guy is evil
Medea Vanamonde🏳️⚧️ ♀@casseagull he means “The Jews”
Tony Trehy@casseagull strictly speaking you're not counted as one of the elites until you are 95th richest man in the world.
Jim Vernon@casseagull The Right uses the word "elite" to refer to people who exercise some amount of critical thinking skills and sometimes read books.
It's interesting how so many rich and powerful people see themselves, or pretend to be, as not part of the mainstream or the elite.
What's all that about?
Perhaps because he's a small man in every senses, small minded, small intellect, small vision, small hearted who can only define themselves in terms of what he hates. And he hates everything that's not him: people with hope, vision, ideas, skills and love.
(Russell Brand is another one bemoaning the mainstream...)
Isocat now → @@casseagull "worth $17.4 billion" — no, he's _accumulated_ $17.4bn. Refute the "worth" lie at every opportunity.
Sock Puppet 666@casseagull who controls 70% of the media in Australia doesn't he?
Andi Fascist ✅️@casseagull When he says "Elites" he really means "The Jews"
Ulrich Junker@casseagull does this count as self critique ?????
