i would say that the rich use the bigots to get in power and stay in power, and the bigots use the rich to abuse minorities
the transaction is:
1. i, the #bigot, don't mind being robbed, as long as you abuse minorities
2. i, the #plutocrat, don't mind abusing minorities, as long as i keep my rent seeking parasite existence
the plutocrat-bigot political axis is real
not *all* of them, you're right about that. but enough of them

@Kichae @punissuer @mike805 @stefan @mastodonmigration
#plutocrat #socialMedia prefers #bigotry
bigots drive outrage
outrage drives eyeballs, clicks, engagement
#engagement means ad dollars
they don't care how, as long as $$$
and #moderation is a cost center. if they can say " #freeSpeech" and remove a cost, more $$$
a financial motivation
and #political angles knew about driving adhesion to plutocrat agendas via bigotry, but social media was a goldmine

Are we really going to cheer every #plutocrat & #autocrat that has a spat with #ElonMusk, think Trump & #MichaelOLeary?
If you are after an ethical positioning on the #Ryanair buy-out, here is one: stop #flying

This fucking guy
He's one for the ages
Ukrainians are angry at a tone in Western #media lately that #Ukraine is losing
#Disinfo from the usual #socialMedia #troll farms and #plutocrat influenced channels shilling a #narrative for a corrupt #agenda
So what does #Zelensky do?
He goes to the frontline in #Kupiansk and films himself there
While the #West repeats #Kremlin lies that #Russia controls it
😂
Zelensky is something else
Tough, crafty, true
In a world of dipshits

#WordWeavers 13 Antagonist POV: You get the book from question 12 as a gift. Your reaction?
As a #plutocrat #oligarch #billionaire I get Ayn Rand's "Atlas Shrugged" as a gift. My reaction - "Meh! Who the hell reads books! What a stupid gift!"

#capitalism says you work hard and succeed
the reality is capitalism creates a #plutocracy class. the effect of this class is you work your ass off to tread water, or even sink, all so that these #plutocrat parasites can siphon off your productivity for another $billion

Great #movie/ #streaming idea!
(Who would fund it, and who would air it, due to #plutocrat control of #media, being the remaining problem)
Take some morons:
They don't believe in #vaccines, they don't believe in #climateChange, etc
Or, here, idiot vatniks
(A #vatnik believes #Kremlin lies about the #UkraineWar)
Take them out of their lying #socialMedia echo chambers
Expose them to reality
Take them to the frontline in #Ukraine
"CHANGE MY MIND (2025)"

#PennedPossibilities 752
Tell us about something that will always make your antagonist laugh.What would make a #plutocrat or #oligarch laugh? Pain of others? Isn't cruelty the point for them? Maybe they don't laugh at all like decent people laugh at the usual things. With that level of sociopathy and/or psychopathy maybe humor has no room to exist.

then they feign great outrage
so you have to continue to mock them
the problem is when you fall silent, having said your peace
but their "great outrage" at being mocked for their ignorance and indecency is the final word that holds sway over the minds of morons
it's not a chore to continue to mock them
it's a path to victory
we need to amplify like a blinding sun our mockery of #MAGA
the problem, of course, is the #plutocrat captured #media is not on our side

the chart is using the term #libertarianism in the 1800s sense
in the current sense, #libertarians are #plutocrat bootlickers who think they are temporarily broke millionaires, if only those pesky #regulations would go away and allow companies to poison groundwater

It would be easy now to say: [[fuck you Musk]], you ethically-retarded #plutocrat.
But it's not even him who is at fault at root. It's #Moloch, as usual, so it's to them that I'm writing an [[open letter]].

@mark @ErickaSimone @jonahgibberish
i see #anarchism as "stuck" (and #libertarianism as well, but that's been coopted by #plutocrat agendas now wholesale and is pretty much dead to me)
they are correct to condemn current structures
the idea is to build alternative better structures
but they are still busy tearing down what is wrong with the world in their minds

Just imagine if the current #bigot-#plutocrat regime of the #USA had the backbone of tiny #Georgia
maybe Georgia has the backbone it does because they understand the government of #Russia
so i guess the USA has to learn what Georgia knows already
the hard way
because the USA is ruled by morons
"Georgia Rejects Russian Proposal to Restore Diplomatic Ties"

I try to accentuate the positive. That's been hard lately
This is a reach, but bear with me:

These folks aren't necessarily #left leaning
But now they are on the outside, with us
Not just ex-#Pentagon, but from all over the #US #government
They have a grudge against the #bigot-#moron-#plutocrat #coup
Smart people who know things
Some of them may even be on #Mastodon
I say to them: "welcome" 👋

the pridefully #ignorant ones will endlessly blame shift away from their own #entitled #privileged indolence
the question is do they outnumber the ones who can have their eyes opened via the suffering they bring onto us by not #voting/ voting for #bigoted #plutocrat #malice
some have the bare minimum of heart to go "i was wrong"
if they are not enough? too late?
then we are truly fucked
#maga #voters, #nonvoters: i absolutely despise you

study the history of #chile, #southkorea, #spain
look at #serbia, #georgia, #hungary today
corrupt, murderous regimes, opposed
they fought! they're fighting!
what you about you #usa?
i will not listen to arguments saying #american #democracy is doomed:
hopelessness
cynicism
it only helps #plutocrat-#bigot malice
you fight
you #vote
now and forever
that matters
"but it should be easy"
never is and never will be
show a fucking spine

the problem is not that a demented #plutocrat should be full of #hate and stupidity. that's almost a given
the tragedy, which we really need to get a handle on, is why his moronic #bigotry and #ignorance appeals to so many
"lol! #bigotry is new to you?"
no it's not new. but how it is goosed on #socialMedia for power so brazenly in cahoots with #plutocracy is a new and terrible wrinkle
yes, the #bigot-plutocrat #political axis is also not new
but it is supercharged now

One of the side effects of the #gishGallop of endless hate and outrageous stupidity is that it obscures the abuses of yesterday, yet they continue, while outrage and attention shifts
Example:
the sadistic attack on #womensRights
"Two #Houston-area clinic employees arrested for allegedly providing illegal #abortion s"
We must confront the totality of the #plutocrat-#bigot #political axis in the #USA and not be endlessly distracted

If you're #black and/ or a #woman, your sacrifices will never matter to #MAGA and their only reaction is to try to erase your history and ignore your existence.

The #Plutocrat-#Bigot #socialMedia axis takes race swapping characters in #movies seriously
Because it's a pipeline to #farRight #politics, weaponized fake outrage
And they get to engage in #racism and #hate
"#AyoEdebiri ‘got insane death threats’ after Elon #Musk shared fake report about #PiratesoftheCaribbean casting
#TheBear #actor called Musk a #fascist and an idiot after his reaction to a post from a #rightWing account that claimed she was replacing Johnny Depp"

it's always been #bigots everywhere in large numbers
#plutocrat #socialMedia amplifies it, gooses it, celebrates it
one of the avenues we can fight back: get a new social media like #Mastodon to replace corporate centralized cesspits of trolls and #hate (i know, a big ask. one can dream)
to be clear: the root problem is #bigotry, not #technology
but bigotry is a much larger problem
so win the social media battle
and use that to further the much larger war on bigotry

#plutocracy amplifies #hate on the right and #alienation on the left on purpose
the problem is we live in a #democracy (if we can keep it) so the average person matters. their choice to #vote #maga, or not vote matters
and the reasons they don't vote or vote maga is the #plutocrat influence machine, yes
but *why* does that influence work?
#socialMedia and #media #psyop work because hate and alienation is organic
we need to fight that too

the #conservative mind operates on #fear
overactive amygdala
it crowds out the prefrontal cortex: reason
#plutocrat #rightWing #media and #socialMedia amplifies the imbalance on purpose
pushing lies that goose the fear, #ignorance and #hate, capturing their minds, addicting them, controlling them
as suitably brainwashed zombies, programmed like robots, they dutifully and enthusiastically go to #vote
while the #left is not so engaged
this is our problem
