demi7en 🎗🇪🇺<p>re: Billionaires, techbros and the planned Network State</p><p>Why is there such unprecedented disparity in wealth, esp. in America, between the working middle class and the ultra-rich? <br>(Not to mention the working poor and the homeless)</p><p>First reason: the intentional policies of the "GOP" since before and *especially* since Reagan. All possible tax breaks and loops for those with loose capital to grow their loot, exponentially.</p><p>Second reason: the GOP (but also DEMs!) allowed and helped this loose capital to run out of the USA to help build up the Chinese dictatorship; moving factories, technology, investment, *jobs* to the "PRC" where labour rights were banned and the environment... LOL. Maximum profit baby!</p><p>👉️ In 1989 this investment by the Murican Rich helped make sure that the CCP dictatorship faced no consequences for the Tiananmen massacre in Beijing etc. And forget about the Tibetans and later the Uighurs, Hongkongers, 1.3 billion voiceless subjects of the Party-state... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ </p><p>Instead, the CCP regime is awarded the Most Favoured Nation status in 1994 and WTO membership in 2000. Global business priviledges, with *zero enforcement* on CCP's clear *policy* of any and all rule-breaking... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ </p><p>So, build with slave labour and sell in wealthy democracies = massive profit and next to no taxes. Thanks GOP (and DEMs too...) !!</p><p>These various mountains of money turned into countless murky Venture Capital investment groups that would from the 1990s onwards take over the technology sector and create a new class of empathy-free Techbro billionaires.</p><p>So how are these techbro billionaires and their sugar daddy industry-transfer billionaires thanking the nation that empowered them to loot their own country while building up the Chinese dictatorship to threaten a *global authoritarian takeover*?</p><p>Well, they're hell-bent on dismantling the USA and its civil society and liberties to turn the USA into a patchwork of oligargh-owned and ruled fiefdoms, aka the Network State.</p><p>See Project 2025 and the people behind the MAGA show... The Paypal bros Thiel (born in Germany) and Musk (South-African) didn't invent this shit, but they're absolutely enthralled by the Emperor Nero level rewards they see dangling above the ashes of America. Go MAGA! Hail that GOP! </p><p>Who else are happy? All the democracy-hating despots across the world.</p><p><a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/maga" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>maga</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/gop" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>gop</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>trump</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/thiel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>thiel</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/musk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>musk</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/paypal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>paypal</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/techbros" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>techbros</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/autocracy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>autocracy</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/project2025" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>project2025</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/networkstate" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>networkstate</span></a></p>

Charlie McHenry<p>Hundreds of scholars say U.S. is swiftly heading toward authoritarianism - is there any doubt left?
