#rulingclass — Public Fediverse posts

“Buried in the #budget papers is a revelation that Labor plans to impose a minimum effective #tax rate of 51 per cent on distributions from #discretionary #trusts to so-called bucket #companies.

The move is aimed squarely at the “hundreds of thousands” of people who use such strategies to split income with their #families”

Who has a family trust?

This is the new “Franking Credit” squeals from the Pearl clutching set. Isn’t it?

A quotation from George Orwell

One ought not to pay any attention to Hitler’s recent line of talk about being the friend of the poor man, the enemy of plutocracy, etc etc. Hitler’s real self is in Mein Kampf, and in his actions. He has never persecuted the rich, except when they were Jews or when they tried actively to oppose him. He stands for a centralised economy which robs the capitalist of most of his power but leaves the structure of society much as before. The State controls industry, but there are still rich and poor, masters and men. Therefore, as against genuine Socialism, the moneyed class have always been on his side. This was crystal clear at the time of the Spanish civil war, and clear again at the time when France surrendered. Hitler’s puppet government are not working men, but a gang of bankers, gaga generals and corrupt right-wing politicians.

George Orwell (1903-1950) English journalist, essayist, writer [pseud. of Eric Arthur Blair]
Essay (1941-02-19), “The Lion and the Unicorn: Socialism and the English Genius,” Part 2 “Shopkeepers at War,” sec. 3, The Searchlight Books [ed. Fyvel and Orwell]

What exactly did we expect from a #PeterThielPuppet?
It's overdue that we take back our country from Christian Nationalists, radical racists, and sociopathic, right-wing billionaires. As #WarrenBuffet said years ago, this is not a culture war but a #ClassWar.
Electing the #OrangeFelon might turn out the best thing that ever happened as the ugly #RulingClass now is emboldened to show their ugly, antidemocratic face. While it might be quite difficult to remove them from power, with enough determination and support by everyday Americans, it can be done! So far all their lies, chaos, corruption, and cruelty seem to have backfired biggly.

best way to spend #halloween & #Samhain is watching how 2 excellent journalists held #AndrewWindsor to account in the most explosively baffling live interview ever.

let it be the start of the end of authority in every human's life

#GifsArtidote: let me explain. for the first time ever, one of the most powerful men in the hierarchy of society is being held to account. an actual prince of one of the oldest imperialist super powers in the world has lost his titles, his home, his so-called job which in reality is his whole life. he's now a prisoner, a pariah in society, because nobody wants to know him now we all know he's a sexoffender himself, bc he has paid off his accuser #VirginiaGioffre.
as the #UKgov has taken the right to protest away & imprisoned hundreds of elderly pensioners on false terrorist charges, we know that the #RulingClass do that to avoid accountability for their own crimes.

we know that when powerful men pay off anyone pressing charges, that probably means they're guilty.
it means one law for us, no law for them. it shows we cannot fight power in court, & we cannot trust the judiciary or any of the systems of power.
this interview is how andrew is held to account & now he can't show his face in public ever again cause he will be hunted down until we, the ppl feel he has suffered enough.

but it's not just about him. monarchy should be banned globally. hierarchy should be banned universally. #hierarchy has to become such a taboo, that the word itself is erased from our collective memory forever.
there are better ways to organise society, but we've all been brainwashed & conditioned to believe #capitalism & hierarchy is the best way, cause see how it has lifted millions out of poverty, and without leaders we would just kill eachother.

has it? would we? materialistically yes, but everybody is emotionally, physically & psychologically extremely poor.
there has been generations of neglect, exploitation & abuse done to ppl through #conditioning, #manipulation, #gaslighting, #brainwashing, frankly psychological warfare through white-supremacist capitalist & #imperialist advertisements, propaganda & forced so-called #education from birth. and everybody knows society can function without management, cause when they're on holiday nobody notices.

this interview is an example of how we can use their own weapons against them too. and the most powerful weapon is #psychology.
a lot of these powerful ppl are displaying #narcissistic & #psychopathic behaviour. so, learn about it, how to recognise & counteract it. but start with your self. what's your position in this dynamic?
#ChangeTheWorldStartWithYourSelf that's what andrew has to do now, & all of us as we were on the #NarcissisticRoundabout with him, whether you like it or not. we all paid for his lifestyle, we all waved the fucking flag at one point in our lives, we all accepted the status quo, and nobody stopped him.
and we could have, collectively.

Whether in his personal life or his public life, he has been accused of so many acts of #wrongdoing, investigated by so many prosecutors & agencies, sued by so many plaintiffs & claimants that it requires a scorecard just to remember them all.

…#ElonMusk was one of the last to take a fully reactionary turn. Since his #PayPal days, he has moved into realms that transcend “#technology” in the #SiliconValley sense, becoming a modern industrialist in the spirit of Henry Ford. But his ties to the #tech industry & its pro-#Trump #moguls remain strong. He had been on his own *journey* over the last few years, pushed to the right by a confluence of forces.

@Nonilex

#Ethics are a joke perpetrated by the #RulingClass to help suppress and gaslight the rest of us.

The #oligarchy has no rules beyond what Hobbes described as the "war of all against all".

No #Ethics
No #moralCompass
No #Soul
No #SocialContract
No #Rules except as a means of manipulating others.

@alfredo_liberal Since #charleskoch is attacking our potus now let’s remember that #BrownVBoard is what triggered him to hook up with racist economist James Buchanan & start the #rulingclass assault on freedom.
