"The Pipeline Made Visible

Unlike old #authoritarianism built on fear and force, this new system rules through code, capital, and infrastructure — making resistance feel architecturally impossible.
It’s a self-reinforcing loop:
#Ideology fuels venture capital → #capital captures the state → #thestate feeds the same private systems that built it. A new model of power — #privatizedsovereignty."

How Tech Billionaires Are Building a Post-Democratic America — And Why Europe Is Next

#CapitalistRealism exposed: This email isn't a prediction of #socialism; it's an autopsy of late #capitalism. #PeterThiel identifies the system's fatal flaw: when people can't own anything, they stop believing in ownership itself. He’s not forecasting a revolution; he's stating a simple, brutal equation: no stake in the system equals no faith in the system. This email is one of the most quietly revealing artifacts of the entire post-2008 era.

@josemurilo
It's so crazy to think that Peter Thiel is aware of this, phrases it in this way, and still sees no reason to change his attitudes or behaviour.

Sadly, the mail dors not state what his conclusions are: Give them something to hang on to? Club them into submission? Distract them with free drinks?
Whatever. As far as I can see, the mood among many 20-somethings has shifted in the meantime, towards something which I hope most of them will regret while their view still matters.

@Mr_Teatime @josemurilo What they're doing. Polarize the society, then lock those groups in echo chambers.

Divide et Imperas at it's worst.

@josemurilo "If one has no faith in the capitalist system, one might as well turn against it".

Sounds like one of the reason for the anarchist uprisings in late 19th and early 20th centuries.

History rhyming..

@josemurilo We have nothing to lose but our chains.
