  1. Think oligarchy is just a Russian thing? Think again. It’s alive and well in the USA (and Australia). Time to question who really holds the power and how it shapes our lives. #Oligarchy #PowerAndWealth #QuestionEverything #Auspol #Lobbying

  3. When the cops murder someone innocent, it only takes a few days for all the "He was no choir boy" opinions to get published.

    In the case of Brian Thompson's killing, he was no choir boy. He was as far from decent human being as you can get.

  4. From the Bretton Woods Project:

    "The [#WorldBank] and [#IMF] have also been heavily criticised for the role played by the political expediency of important shareholders in its decision-making and choice of interventions, including its support to dictatorships. The IMF’s decision to break its own rules and support the highly controversial Greek loan programme, agreed in 2010, prompted Brazil’s Executive Director to the IMF to protest that, '… the program … may be seen not as a rescue of Greece, which will have to undergo a wrenching adjustment, but as a bail-out of Greece’s private debt holders, mainly European financial institutions.'"

    From 2018: The Greece Bailout’s Legacy of Immiseration

    The cynicism and brutality of what happened there is for the whole world to see.

    James K. Galbraith
    August 20, 2018

    "2010 to 2018 will go down in Greek history as an epic period of colonization; of asset stripping and privatization; of unfunded health and education; of bankruptcies, foreclosures, homelessness, and impoverishment; of unemployment, emigration, and suicide. These were the years of the three memoranda, or 'financial-assistance programs' accompanied by 'structural reforms,' enacted supposedly to promote Greek 'recovery' from the slump and credit crunch of 2010. They were, in fact, a fraud perpetrated on Greece and Europe, a jumble of bad policies based on crude morality tales that catered to right-wing politics to cover up unpayable debts.

    "This was a bailout? The word reeks of indulgence and implied disapproval. As it was often said, 'The Greeks had their party and now they must pay.' Yes, there was a party—for oligarchs with ships and London homes and Swiss bank accounts, for the military, for engineering and construction and armaments companies from Germany and France and the United States. And yes, there was a bailout. It came from Europe’s taxpayers, and went to the troubled banks of France and Germany. Greece was merely the pass-through, and the Greeks who paid dearly with their livelihoods were just the patsies in the deal."

  15. @andrewg

    Amusing that people are fleeing from one #oligarch service to another.

    The call of the #algorithm, the desire to be targeted by ads and comfort in having one’s data sold to the highest bidder continues to be irresistible for many. 😜

  16. @PeterRu Part of being an #Oligarchy. This is the way it works within every sector. Part of the anti-regulation #neoliberal revolution that the #DemocratiParty supported and now claims to be fighting. Sadly, we now have a SCOTUS that fully supports destroying the #AdministrativeLaw created over decades to allow a modern society to operate while protecting the #PublicWelfare.

  21. @GottaLaff And #CorporateMedia is letting #WeirdDonOLD get away with it and #sanewashing his nonsense.

    Marianne Williamson had more fleshed out policy answers when she ran for president than #Trump does. But for-profit #oligarch-owned media is determined to legitimize him for ratings and clicks.
