#broligarchs — Public Fediverse posts

@thetnholler.bsky.social And instead of poring their #retirement savings into blackhole #DataCenters , more #Americans are going to be like the #Dutch and move their investments to safe harbours where people believe in ‘actual reality’.

#Resist #fascism and #broligarchs in #USpol hilariously and with #ElbowsUp 💪!

@carapace Yes. The best way to understand the ‘bro culture’ that is being cultivated by the #broligarchs is to watch the movie “Big” and imagine that Tom Hanks’ character simultaneously becomes big *and* a billionaire!

@machias we have to try as fast as possible to find alternatives to the products of the #Broligarchs.
I use Mastadon, Qwant, Vibe (Mistral), Signal, Here...But it is not enough.
And, too many people are not conscious of this.

With Trump and his crony toady goons it always gets worse. They are abusively ravaging America and Americans. #Register to #Vote! #Resist and #Protest! #Boycott his #Broligarchs companies!

Every time you see a preventable disease blossoming...

... Just remember it's the Nazi #broligarchs culling the "useless eaters".

They are executing eugenics on the peasants.

The rich have a solution to the #Climatecatastrophe and it's to genocide 2-3 billion people.

The #oligarchs want you dead.

... of power."

#Wheeler explicitly states:

"The #Broligarchs who've been a key part of #Trump's power are one way to do that (**and that's before we've really gotten into #SteveBannon and #PeterThiel's ties to #Epstein**)."

She does not elaborate with primary evidence in that piece, but 👉she clearly signals that Thiel's Epstein relationship is documented and waiting to be weaponized strategically—suggesting she has access to evidence but is timing its deployment.👈

@skykiss @emptywheel

@Tarnport

Absolutely spot on.
#Aisycophancy is a real thing.

I would go further than advocating of regulation of Ai as food additives are...

Ai Needs to be regulated in the same way nuclear weapons are. It is an existential threat to humanity, luminaries of #Ai like Geoffrey Hinton ("Father of Ai"), Max Tegmark, Sam Harris, Connor Leahy all warn and urge about the real threat Ai poses.

I personally engage with politicians (Two senate submissions + letters) to #regulateAi

And I urge anyone who is concerned about it NOT to talk it down but pursue advocacy of international regulation as per the #seouldeclaration and #bletchleydeclaration

Something #broligarchs and tRump are hysterically opposed to, with Peter Thiel naming advocates of #airegulation literal antichrists.

The Government™ made an ad about Ai Data Centres, and it’s surprisingly honest and informative...

None have offered a legit revenue model but if the 'other guy' is spending all that $$$ - then 'we' must also spend even more $$$ in case they know something we dont , and we cant risk getting left out/behind.

The #Sazan Island in the Adriatic #Ivanka wants to own that belongs to #Albania people has...

... wait for it...

A HUGE NETWORK OF UNDERGROUND TUNNELS AND OVER 300 BUNKERS.

It is a fortress island specifically created by Albanian communist dictator to defend against #NATO attack.

Now, why would a member of a crime family that undermines NATO constantly want to build a refuge for #broligarchs there?

A valuable perspective...never underestimate the lengths people will go to to be a 'social mover'.

No more #excuses guys! Not #convenience, not #support, not #corporate_adoption. No matter how tied you are to any of them, any single penny you give them from now on is your investment into that #dytopian #nightmare for everyone!

These trashbags deserve #sanctions and #imprisonment at the minimum for this. But can we at least start with a #boycott? Or are you going to accept this #tyranny?

We go over the evolution of the social #Web , the #Fediverse , #siliconValley and its influence in #tech , the #broligarchs and their assault on #Democracy .

Very thankful for Albert joining in!

A joke about #ElonMusk told by #Canadian comic Seth Rogan at the ‘Breakthrough Prize’ ceremony on #YouTube (?) was ‘cut’ because it made fun of #broligarchs , such as #SergeiBrin and #MarkZuckerberg who are the event and prize sponsors.

20 years ago I wrote a commentary for the Murfreesboro & #Nashville @NPR station WMOT on a “long-term solution” to the short-term ‘fix’ of #H1B visas requested by the #tech #broligarchs ; “Chemical Eye 👁️ on #Immigration “ 👉 http://www.sitnews.us/1104Viewpoints/113004_preston_macdougall.html

Of course hyper-partisanship in #USpol has prevented *any* progress in immigration reform, and #PublicEducation is still failing. 🤷🏻‍♂️

#PrimaryFromTheCenter to *end* the political gridlock! #MATH

The payoff from Thiel’s early gamble in Trump is a lesson that has not passed others by.

As with their other obsession, #crypto, the best time to have invested in Trump was 2016,
and the second best time is today.

We already have a word for what we’re watching now:
it’s #oligarchy.

And we’ve already seen how this plays out.

In Putin’s Russia, political and commercial interests are one and the same.

Thiel is betting
– again
– on the same phenomenon in America.

Betting that he will be first among a new breed of tech bro oligarchs
– a new super-class of #broligarchs.

In Trump’s America, there will be hard choices for everyone, including the billionaires. --
Though it may be less hard for them.

Vance has said he wants to #deregulate crypto and
unshackle AI.

He’s said he’d #dismantle Biden’s attempts to place safeguards around AI development.

And while he has it in for the #legacy #monopolies of Google and Facebook
– the platforms that his ideological bedfellows in the “new right” see as part of the “censorship industrial complex” suffocating rightwing speech
– Silicon Valley is betting on a gloves-off, regulation-free, pro-business #goldrush.

Another Peter Thiel acolyte was on stage at the Republican National Convention last week,
electrifying the crowd:
#Hulk #Hogan.

Hogan is less well known as one of Thiel’s longterm bets, though in some ways he’s even more instructive than Vance.

In 2007, the online magazine #Gawker outed Thiel and ran a series of unflattering articles about him.

It took him years, but he ultimately got his revenge, covertly funding Hulk Hogan to the tune of $10m to sue the publication for invasion of privacy and forcing it into #bankruptcy.

On stage at the RNC, the wrestler, a permatanned orange, ripped off his shirt for the man who increasingly looks like he’ll be America’s next president.

Or, if JD Vance, is correct, the man who will prove to be the #Caesar he says America needs.

A man who he has already urged to fire the nation’s civil servants to
💥 “replace them with our people”,
to defy the courts and rule his own way.

Or, to put this in simple terms:
to foment a #coup.

Thiel knows what every investor knows. That a crisis is an opportunity.

And that if Trump succeeds in tearing up the federal administration,
there is not only billions to be made in the ensuing market #turmoil but that a new breed of oligarchs,
close to Caesar’s throne, will be the first to share the spoils.

And chief among them will be Thiel.

It’s not a stretch to see how #Palantir, his data-mining company
– that under the Conservatives got its teeth into the NHS
– will profile and surveil and target Caesar’s enemies.

And Thiel’s track record in winning, in successfully betting on the longest of odds, on biding his time, is maybe the most chilling of all the factors in a fortnight that has started to feel like the start of a run on the bank.

Biden’s debate disaster,
Trump’s victorious assassination survival,
and now Silicon Valley’s ascension to the presidential ticket.

The broligarchs have made their move
– and the rest of us need to understand exactly what that means.
