@DemocracyMattersALot
To sum up, #billionaires have a huge dose of Machiavellianism, psychopathy, narcissism, self-promotion, emotion coldness, duplicity and aggressiveness.
This affects their #empathy (e.g. #Musk) and moral judgement thus resulting in a disconnection from reality and justification of their behaviour, no matter how harmful it's to others - be it financially, emotionally or physically.
In order words, they don't give a fuck about others and want to own everything in the world.

@realTuckFrumper
Isn't it a weird name "Project 2025" if the outcomes of #Trump's actions take the #US back to 1790:

- women could not vote
- poor men could not vote
- people of colour were segregated
- there were no vaccines
- the economy was bad
- ordinary people were struggling

I guess that's what #Musk, #Trump, other #billionaires and #MAGA mean when they say "great again". They never mention the exact year they want to go back to, but it's certainly before 1790.

Yuval Harari on the rising trend of techno-fascism driven by populism and artificial intelligence has been visible since the US presidential election in November

Nexus, which was published just a few months earlier, is a timely explainer of the potential consequences of AI on #democracy and totalitarianism. In the book, Harari does not just sound the alarm on #singularity—the hypothetical future point at which technology, particularly AI, moves beyond human control and advances irreversibly on its own—but also on #AI’s foreignness.

@obtener He is gutting the #US #healthcare system in so many ways.
#Musk hates the entire LGBT+++ groups and he wants all of them to die. #Trump knew exactly who this guy was, that's why he picked him. Every member in Trump's cabinet is doing precisely the opposite of that the job entails and helps the general population.
When Trump finishes, there will be no #democracy, no #PublicServices - everything will cost more and #billionaires will be #quintillionaires

Continued thread

If you want to understand the horrifying future these tech billionaire nazis have in store for humanity, it helps to understand what parts of our "glorious past" as a species they're looking to recreate. This interview with University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign information sciences and media studies professor Anita Say Chan talks a bit about the history of data and eugenics, what it means that guys like Elon Musk and Peter Thiel (along with most of Silicon Valley's movers and shakers) are devout believers in eugenicist philosophies, and how that's reflected in their efforts to reshape society in horrifying, and objectively fascist ways. In terms of our discussion about the uber rich fascists who heavily influence the Trump regime they bought and paid for, I'm mostly including this here to point out that these guys have gone on record in support of a lot of openly fascist shit and for the most part, your media pretends we don't already know these guys are nazis; it's not a secret, it's just not "worth mentioning" when media orgs are fawning over technofascist billionaires destroying our planet and our lives.

Eugenics Isn’t Dead—It’s Thriving in Tech

"Big Tech successors like Musk and PayPal billionaire-turned-arms dealer Peter Thiel have overtly promoted fraudulent race science, with Musk amplifying users on X who argue that people of European descent are biologically superior. In response to another user’s deleted post suggesting that students at historically Black institutions have lower IQs, Musk posted, “It will take an airplane crashing and killing hundreds of people for them to change this crazy policy of DIE”—diversity, equity, and inclusion, misspelled. In 2016, Thiel buddied up to a prominent white nationalist, and, the same year, was said by a Stanford dorm-mate to have complimented South Africa’s “economically sound” system of racial apartheid."

Capitalism is so broken that even the conservative centrist Tim Miller of the Bulkwark has to admit it & chants "DSA".

Combine the "Trump Card", announcement of UAE "investment in US companies", propping up of #Tesla & this ridiculous #Newsmax IPO. This 💩 stinks to high heaven.

On a related note, a new targ- I mean billionaire just dropped.
