AnarchoNinaAnalyzes<p>So last night I stumbled across this twenty-five minute interview with Guardian reporter Chris McGreal on Democracy Now!" Most of the conversation centers around the Musk family's longtime connections with Nazism (like literally the Third Reich) and neo-nazi movements, as well as how growing up in Apartheid South Africa shaped Elon Musk's worldview. Interestingly however, this is probably the first time I've ever seen anyone who works in corporate media mention that Peter Thiel, and David Sacks also have deep connections to apartheid societies in Africa. As you're likely aware, all three men have intimate connections with, and have financially supported, Trump and the larger fascist movement that's built around his cult of personality.</p><p>I'm sharing it here at least in part because McGreal is very firmly a mainstream media source, and until very recently this type of background information on the billionaire nazis ruining our society as we speak, really didn't get a lot of play in the mainstream media. This kind of critical background information wasn't necessarily a "secret," but corporate media has always been far too fawning towards tech billionaires to bring up "inconvenient truths" like the reality that the richest guy in the world, who is currently helping to enact a white nationalist agenda in America, comes from a family full of cracker nazis. </p><p>Edit: to be clear, I'm not saying that nobody ever rises above a reactionary upbringing here; I grew up in just such an environment myself and I think I've done a pretty good job of not turning out to be a nazi. If however, someone, let's just say a handful of the richest guys on earth, spends a lot of time promoting fascist, white supremacist ideology, and helping fascists and white supremacists win elections, and then directly influences policy decisions that affect entire countries (if not the world) in a way that promotes fascist, white supremacist hierarchies, the fact that they were raised in an Apartheid environment surrounded by people who love nazis, is probably relevant. Sorry for the edit; I forgot we live on the dumbest timeline and thus you have to explain things like this to avoid disingenuous muppetry. </p><p>Democracy Now: Elon Musk's Family History in South Africa Reveals Ties to Apartheid &amp; Neo-Nazi Movements</p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ahv3IKzMdHA" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">youtube.com/watch?v=Ahv3IKzMdH</span><span class="invisible">A</span></a></p><p><a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Trump</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Fascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Fascism</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Musk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Musk</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/SouthAfrica" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SouthAfrica</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/WhiteNationalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WhiteNationalism</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Billionaires" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Billionaires</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Apartheid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Apartheid</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/PaypalMafia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PaypalMafia</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/DavidSacks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DavidSacks</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/PeterThiel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PeterThiel</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/ChrisMcGreal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ChrisMcGreal</span></a></p>
