His goal, like every person Trump has appointed, is to dismantle and break those institutions. The point is to cripple the government so that private businesses get to fill the gaps and gain power.
That money should go to us because the business passed the price increases on to us!
Science generally searches for answers.
Religion manipulates fears for power and control.
Peter Thiel is pure evil. This tie is not surprising at all. The piece of shit is un-ironically giving a lecture on the antichrist in September.
This is why we need strong unions. Government work protections will always be rolled back because the government serves the powerful. They only capitulate to the rest of us when they feel threatened. Unions are our biggest strength.
Because they have a lot of the same donors as the right. Money in politics has destroyed America. It’s ridiculously corrupt. Dems won’t utter anything the voters want, only what the donors accept.
I hope you are right, but I don’t know MAGA won’t latch onto a new cult of personality just as easily. The right wing info bubble is a well oiled consent machine and they know how to push the right cultural buttons. Vance is better spoken and has gained a lot of MAGA love under Trump. I worry if Trump dies before he erodes his support too far, it will solidify MAGA under a better equipped leader.
JD is Peter Thiel’s errand boy and Thiel wants to collapse of nation states and social programs. His goal is corporate network states with the rich living completely removed from regulations on their power in any way. JD Vance may not be as erratic but he is just as dangerous.
Good. Fuck the Israeli fascist genocide machine and their enabling of right wing counter parts across the globe.
I am so sick of this fascism wrapped in the language of child protectionism. This is only about going after dissenting voices who use the shield of anonymity to speak freely. The persecution of people defending Gaza vocally is proof of that.
The Christian right and Israel have a relationship based on mutual disdain of Muslims, economic ties, and a stream of PAC money. Deep down though, the right has a long antisemitic history that will eventually overtake that marriage of convenience. Based on history, I don’t think the right is truly zionist and when that relationship becomes less advantageous, they will turn on Israel.
I get what you’re saying, but these are also real people with regular daily lives. I know I’ve had intolerable jobs that just drain the life out of me that I needed to leave for my sanity. Asking them to put up with this madness for four years or more depending on who gets elected next (or if elections still happen) is a pretty tall ask.
I don’t think this dipshit even knows what he’s saying half the time. He’s like a real time James Joyce novel. It’s just no inner critique - straight from brain to voice.
Wish I could take credit, but it’s from a podcast/news site and not even sure they coined it: https://www.thenerdreich.com/
Israel thinks it can just crush all reality about how fucking evil what they are doing in Gaza is.
Yet the Nerd-reich wants to bring back feudalism.
