When the fossil fuel industry orders up an attack on the literacy levels of an electorate, there are no half-measures.

De-education, orchestrated by billionaires, takes many forms.

I'm skeptical about the validity of diagnosing people based on historical records... Honestly, I think it's a lot simpler than that. It's just junkie shit.

Still, worth a read.

I'm also really amused about all this rich asshole critical writing coming from Rich Asshole Digest.

@TheGreatLlama @Npars01 @harrysintonen I did not notice the article saying "being a psychopath is a bad thing."

You may want to read:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Psychopath_Test
(I like all things Jon Ronson).

In it, Ronson discusses psychopathy with the investor "Chainsaw Al." For "Chainsaw Al" psychopathy personality traits are 100% positive.

I think for CEOs, a psychopathy diagnosis would be a badge of honor. "Empathetic is pathetic with a prefix."

@TheGreatLlama @Npars01 @harrysintonen And Greta Thunberg is the Anti-Christ. Elon Musk is a genius and Zuckerberg is a gifted manager. Have you looked into the "Dark Enlightenment"?

War is Peace; Freedom is Slavery; etc.

This predates them. They are not bright enough to make this dung up.

Jedem das seine.

Which is oddly appropriate in this context. Both the German meaning and the literal interpretation.
