My hope is that, ironically, all this is making the class war obvious.

It kinda opened my eyes TBH.

i think that the reason they are doing it so openly is that the billionaires think that owning all the media will make people not realize what is happening. but i don't think they are as smart as they think they are, so we will have to wait and see how many people realize

Billionaires will never let you vote away their power.

Never

Maga works won't realise because they've been trained to fear and/or dislike the "woke" govt employees.

It's just another group to blame for all the wars, expensive groceries, regulations protecting consumers, health care, social work

Is about time billionaires took control of consumer protections, I say.

this blows my mind. millions of people knew this would happen and voted for it anyway. now, as everything is happening, the conservatives are still strongly in support. not just the rich conservatives, the poor ones too! why? economic loss is a small price to pay to oppress immigrants and to have favorable policies for that day when u finally become rich

TBF more of them sided with the tax-the-rich Harris campaign than not, but it's pretty meaningless if they didn't buy TikTok, Google, Facebook, and Twitter.

It doesn't take a genius to realize those government programs being gutted made America a better place, that our allies and USAID made America a safer place to live. Even a billionaire might figure it out.

I'm a consequentialist. The results are the only thing that matters, if the Billionaires bring us closer to equity then those Billionaires aren't my enemy.

EDIT: Btw this comment shot from 3-0 to 3-7 overnight. Totally organic and not at all somebody pushing their agenda, right?

So you delude yourself into thinking that things will work out, no matter how much shit gets set on fire?

I'm guessing you also follow established religion.

I don't believe in any religion but I do believe it needs to be enforced that all religious rights are accepted so long as they do not advocate for the loss of rights of other persons (personhood starts at 3 or 4 years old).

I don't just think things will work out, I realize from the vast amount of recorded history that things not working out isn't the end of the world and attempts to use violence to make things work out your way will inevitably have a nearly opposite affect of things not working out for the vast majority of people.

And no, I'm not clicking your link if you can't even be bothered to describe what it is.

It's a 30 minute video breaking down the very real attempt at overthrowing the US government by tech bros.

Ah, pass then. I've seen the news, I also accurately predicted the news before the election, so none of it is surprising.
