"The adult mindset of a resentful adolescent boy, with maladaptive social skills, who was rejected in high school.

Perpetually trying to fix the ego boo-boo's of the past."

Hey Alex Karp, Elon Musk, & Peter Thiel, the ghosts of the past aren't laid to rest by funding a fascist movement.

These feelings of inadequacy need self-awareness, therapy, and self-reflection.

Try that instead of ginning up a nuclear WW3.

@evacide

Isn't it strange that corporations that are actively trying to end all civil rights to privacy, up to & including creepy "Bedrooms & Bathrooms" voyeurism...

...yet refuse to disclose who they finance in a fascist movement
Dark Money is killing democracy

...yet refuse to acknowledge their complicity in the Epstein Files

...yet refuse to divulge their contact with foreign despots

...yet decline to release internal memos about teen suicidal ideation

... yet hide investors identities

@cdarwin

To achieve their authoritarian dystopia, billionaires will try to break Minnesota.

In the prelude to the Civil War, slave owners did the same, funding vigilantes & paramilitaries to catch escaping slaves, disrupt abolitionist organizations, and subvert elections.

Using violence to terrorize.

The motives of the rich doesn't change.
1. A desire for underpaid labor or entirely unpaid work
2. A desire to profit from human misery
3. Sadistic Capitalism
4. Tax evasion

It's useful to know who has funded a war on women for over 60 years.

The fossil fuel industry.

Koch Network, Heritage Foundation, Federalist Society.

All avatars of the same billionaire bigots.

Charles Koch - abortion criminalization was supposed to be a felony disenfranchisement scheme.

What if Melinda Gates had been allergic to the antibiotic administered to her without her consent?

What if it had been AIDS instead of a treatable STD?

Philandering can be life-threatening. Do these men hate women that much? To kill the mothers of their children?

It certainly explains Bill Gates about face on climate change. Someone knew.

How many other billionaires joined Trumpism because of Kompromat like this?

@jeffjarvis

Here's an interesting experiment...

Compare the same news article in an AI "summary", a news aggregator like Yahoo, and the original article.

One thing that's immediately obvious is the change in tone in different ledes & headlines.

Euphemistic language. Vagueness. Confusing double negatives.

It's not the first time the John Birch alumni of Koch Network funded a campaign of stochastic terrorism.

Those funding Project 2025 are very familiar with how to gin up riots, assassinations, death threats, harassment campaigns, & ethnic cleansing.

Musk, Thiel, & Ellison are willing copycats.

Musk can & has triggered far right riots in Brazil, Canada, UK, and USA with a single tweet echoed by his spambot armies.

@notwhatwethink

Koch Network "libertarians" & the tech kleptocrats of Rockbridge Network talk endlessly about "free markets" while building a world around a tiny number of monopolies, that have the backing of autocratic Big Government.

https://www.inpublishing.co.uk/articles/why-are-people-not-bothered-25226

They talk a lot about a TESCREAL future without talking about any of the "real world, right now" consequences of their frauds, scams, & public corruption.

Few talk anymore about a Russian linked firm working to get Trump elected.

Koch Network aren't swift learners.
https://www.nytimes.com/2025/12/20/us/politics/koch-network-2024-election-trump.html

Everywhere Koch policies of anti-democracy have been enacted, the economy has nosedived, public tax revenues plummeted, and a tiny elite profited from misery.

Just look at Wisconsin under Scott Walker.

Proof enough that the far right billionaire agenda simply does not work for the regular American.

"Libertarian" philosophy is corporate fascist philosophy.

It's not a coincidence.

Republican billionaires fund the GOP to achieve profitable financial crises.

Each crises sends vast wealth upwards to a smaller & smaller elite
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_Depression

The same economic concentration in the 19th century saw the creation of a leisure class that held power for decades. In the late 19th century they caused 30 years of economic stagnation

It took world wars to wrest control away from that rapacious aristocracy

How many have cash reserves for lawyers to get them out of ICE detention?

How many want to pay for US medical care when ICE clubs them to the ground & handcuffs their broken arm?

How many want to face unappealable lifetime travel bans?

How many want to hand over 5 years of social media content?

The demand in itself is an admission by the Trump regime that they have committed war crimes.
