  1. "Peter Thiel Snags Top Prize from Politico’s Owner"

    Axel Springer honors Thiel - just doesn't mention the "$50 million he gave the CEO's son".

    "Here’s an idea for a media company: don’t give your top prize to a billionaire who bankrupted one media outlet & is funding a machine to harass the rest."

    "Axel Springer journalists with ethics & integrity should head for the nearest exit."

  5. Paul Krugman asks, did you know America's tax system once curbed extreme wealth? He examines how progressive taxation historically limited oligarchic power, leading to a few billionaires controlling 20% of GDP and campaign cash today.

  11. RE: fediscience.org/@kaiarzheimer/

    "Techno-oligarchy is not an ideological movement, and techno-oligarchs differ on how political power should be wielded; yet several traits, taken together, form a tacit ideological core. In this view, what its adherents call “technological progress” takes precedence over the fate of humankind. Humanity has no value in itself: humans are weighed on the same scale as inanimate objects, by a single measure – their usefulness to “progress”. Humanity, moreover, will not inherit the advanced stages of that progress; that will be the fate of transhumanity, a fusion of human and machine."

  20. @sidereal

    Yeah same here.. I mean I am Anti-AI for some of those other reasons, but this plagues me as well. There is no -as yet- discernable revenue model, so what is driving this?

    Are we having a 'failure of imagination' ?

    Is it something so obvious we are not seeing it 'in plain sight'?

    Is it just a better weapon in the ancient & ongoing war between the .01% and the rest of us?

  25. “Zionist oligarchs’ assault on national sovereignty is becoming a global threat”

    “These anti-sovereignty/pro-oligarchy operations range from the sales of Paramount and Warner Bros. to foreign investments in AI and energy infrastructure in America; from the remaking of Armenia and Azerbaijan to the reconstitution by force of Lebanon and Palestine; and from the overt globalization of much of Latin America to the stealth globalization of Miami. These operations are executed without consulting the citizens of whatever nation is in question, and they function to dilute political control from these countries’ citizens toward a global financial elite. And they are all executed via the influence of Jewish Zionists who helped fund Trump’s 2024 election campaign”

  30. Excellent #podcast with Dave Regan of #SEIU on #CAProp40 ballot initiative to address the #healthcare shortfall created by Trump’s “big beautiful bill”.

    The initiative will levy a one time 5% #WealthTax” on CA #billionaires. Unsurprisingly this has been met by #oligarchy anger

    Opposition is also being led by #GavinNewsom. Regan suggests the governor’s objection is driven by presidential ambitions reliant on #SiliconValley political donations
