Unions are harm reduction for capitalism.

The oligarchs have already decimated the working class. They’re in the process of dismantling the government and selling it for parts to be rented back to us.
But now they are cannibalizing the millionaires. Who are beginning to realize they have created a monster.

They’re gonna blame them anyway. It doesn’t matter. Exercise the little power you have, you know?

Bernie Sanders: "I think this is a prelude not only to cutting benefits, but to privatizing Social Security ... why do you lie so much about Social Security? Why do you make it look like it's a broken system? The reason is to get people to lose faith in the system so you can give it over to Wall St"

The corruption is assumed.
The idea is that they may be corrupt but they really do want America to succeed and if it does, we all succeed.

1. Defund the National Parks Service.
2. Forest fires happen again.
3. Insist that we do β€œresponsible forest management.”
4. Bring in the timber companies to β€œsweep the forests” (clear cut).
5. Backstop this strategy with tariffs on Canadian lumber causing high prices.

MAGA has a love for highly personally compromised individuals.
They’re easier to control. They come with built-in levers.

Elon is at about 2% of his stated goal. Mostly low hanging fruit and sensationalist stuff to rile up the masses.
So far he’s eliminated 0.6% of the US Budget.
DOGE is set to be deleted in July
It’s all a game. The goal is power and control, not saving money.

DARK GOTHIC MAGA: How Tech Billionaires Plan to Destroy America
YouTube video by Blonde Politics | The Silly Serious DARK GOTHIC MAGA: How Tech Billionaires Plan to Destroy America

This is very much like the world described in Neal Stephenson’s β€œSnow Crash” and β€œThe Diamond Age” novels.

Franchised private micro-nations all over the world.

Use MAGA to destroy America. Chaos isn’t a mistake, it’s a tool.

So when does #TitleIX get axed?

This is the 1972 law that prohibits sex-based discrimination in any school or any other education program that receives funding from the federal government.

Goodbye to big wins in the #Olympics and the #WNBA?

Unelected agents of a oligarch have seized core services of the state without legal sanction or authorization; yes, that's a coup

He’s oddly covertly blaming the Blackhawk pilots while overtly blaming the air traffic controllers because he says they hired DEI.
While saying air travel is completely safe he is also claiming that the air traffic system is overrun with unqualified people.

β€œThis is gonna bring down the price of #eggs !”

In fascist Italy they often said, β€œMussolini made the trains run on time.”

The thing is this was ironic. They were actually a bit worse, and people knew it, despite the propaganda. They were joking.

Today’s egg meme comes from the same place.

I have an ominous feeling that the people currently saying β€œit’s not a Nazi salute” will soon be saying β€œit’s just a symbol from Hinduism.”

You don’t have to be a Nazi to vote MAGA.

But if you’re a Nazi you definitely voted MAGA.

I want to reassure you all that if I ever become a beloved rich & famous author, there is no string of victims who will step forward and ruin your opinion of me. I’ve made quite sure of that.

Major disasters like these fires are like a Rorschach test.
People often look at them and the problem they diagnose just happens to be the very thing they were already obsessed with. #fires
