Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Thiel should be the first to go, that asshole has been making the rounds recruiting billionaires for a takeover for years
You can't take over what you done already own
That's the whole idea
He's planning to build a billionaire's utopia where the poor live in debtor prisons and the ultra wealthy are treated like gods
We're in the endgame
Nah probably not. There will be suffering and shocks but they're like restructuring the economy here. They can't like go back to feudalism, they don't know how, and it isn't possible. I just can never buy the apocalyptic framing, its not really evidence based, just Hollywood based.
I do think you're right about more prisons though, idk about debtors prisons yet but they are loving making people "illegal" and then doing horrible shit to them. If they can't get enough people out of work to suppress wages how they want, then I bet you will see states arguing for their right to put debtors in jail. Although the expansion of online gambling into every part of our lives is kind of insane though, it could shift some dynamics.
I think its more like the billionaires want this or they don't care because they all know they're gonna make the money. And we are gonna get screwed
I think you’re not paying enough attention. It’s called the Butterfly Revolution, and it’s exactly what is described above.
Or, maybe I am paying attention and we have different opinions? I gave a ton of leeway in my response, like I'm not saying you're wrong, but there are limits on what they can accomplish, and I don't like the apocalyptic framing for my personal analysis, but at the same time I do think there is something very intentional going on, a conspiracy here at the tail end of the neoliberal era by the ruling class to gain ground and power. So I'm not sure why you have to assert that I'm misinformed.
If you think the ideas that you came up with in your head while staring at newsfeeds on your phone is the 100% objective truth, then more power to you. But IMO we could all benefit from good faith discussion and sharing ideas.
Thanks for the link, another right wing freak to keep track of 😫
What’s wild is he isn’t even that wealthy for a billionaire. Musk is in the hundreds of billions level whereas this creep is only in the single digits billions. Kinda weird tbh give how evil he is.
He's like the Charlie Kirk of billionaires
