Elon Musk and Peter Thiel: The billionaires fomenting a global race war
20 days ago by supersquirrel to c/techtakes
For the ideologues of the billionaire class, the favoured strategy to hold on to power is to rile the masses into genocidal hate, to whip up fear, anything to stop them from joining the dots and turning on the billionaires who are expropriating our present and future and profiting from permanent war.
It is a time of nightmares. We must wake up.
Nothing revolutionary in this article, but I appreciate the common thread it weaves in explaining how we have gotten to such a desperate point and I also appreciate how much the writer despises Peter Thiel.
I am so tired of having endless discussions about the sky falling with our attention span and about how the problem these days is social media rots our brains blah blah blah and no one will address the blatant crime that we have ceded control of our digital lives to dumb, fascist wannabe fuedal rightwing edgelord billionaires and that maybe that is the actual problem...
Why is it that the Nazis hate the gays, but love the 2 gay billionaires?
Conservative rightwing movements are turtles all the way down if turtles were people backstabbing other people, while it might seem absurd if you follow the math it naturally follows that even within a single fascist rightwing conservative there can be found versions of themselves backstabbing other versions of themselves. It is the nature of the turd.
@Soyweiser @techtakes I am currently thinking that time travellers would be better employed if they took ship to South Africa to kill babies Musk and Thiel.
Arranging a car crash for Musk and Thiel puts the lives of other innocent road users at risk.
I think they deserve a roller coaster ride instead. On this one:
No I mean we know they crash their car in the 2000s, we know they both survive and nobody else was involved. I just suggest adding a tree to the story to change the outcome. Sorry if this is some sort of obscure thing which I thought was more common knowledge.
Someone fact check my history please - Were the fascist movements in Europe during ww2 (and before) orchestrated / started by the elite class? Or did some of them just fund it once they saw it was the tide they couldn’t fight? I thought it was more of a grassroots movement back then. Now it seems to be more manufactured.
It was fairly similar to today, there was a spark among the masses but a group of elites took that and encouraged it, and then its success in various countries depended in part on how much the reigning conservatives allied with the fascists.
