Ending public holidays, "freezing" welfare,anything, but, increasing the tax on "the rich". The #plutocrats don't like to talk about that solution.
Global #News Podcast: #Afghans moved to #UK in secret scheme after data breach

What Pam Bondi and Kash Patel are telling us is that, for two decades, Epstein recruited minors, groomed them into sex slaves, forced them to service rich and prominent individuals, secretly filmed the proceedings, and then, with 300 gigabytes of some of the most valuable kompromat ever collected, did…absolutely nothing with it.

Does your antagonist (or villain) have a weapon of choice?
Spoiler territory. Maybe not so much a spoiler given how blatant #plutocrats #oligarchs #billionaires are these days in terms of wielding their many weapons. But I feel the one they would likely deploy first is #misinformation #disinformation #rumors - cheap and fast. If that doesn't really get the job done, they will reach for others.
#WordWeavers 7.5 — What kind of perfume / scent would work for your antagonist?
Something insanely expensive and exclusive which is how I imagine most #plutocrats #oligarchs #billionaires are.
This is what #oligarchs do! #destroy the #world by accelerating #climatechange
Down with the #plutocrats
#PennedPossibilities 709: How your MC and Antagonist know each other?
They don't. Alia (main character) - for most of the time - is dealing with the crisis at a personal level. While the #oligarchs #plutocrats are operating entirely at the macro-level in terms of creating the crisis. They couldn't care less about any individual.
#Wordweavers Day 14 - What real song would be your antagonist’s favorite?
The antagonists in "A New Faith" are unnamed #plutocrats. The problem with these folks is that they don't seem to understand #irony, #sarcasm, #satire, etc. So - I feel that they might be into "We are the champions" by the #Queen for entirely wrong reasons. It is kinda hard to get into their warped heads however much I try. They take the stuff from #scifi which is meant to be a warning as a freakin' roadmap! Go figure!
Now *that* is just such an apt description of the current #US situation, Vee.
There is one big thing missing, though: the tsunami that is about to hit the #plutocrats in the lifeboat, be it through global warming, nuclear warfare, or a financial meltdown once the greenback loses its reserve-currency status altogether.
The level of public debt is, in comparison to other Western OECD countries, simple unsustainable.
As Elon Musk became one of Donald J. Trump’s closest allies last year, leading raucous rallies and donating about $275 million to help him win the presidency, he was also using drugs far more intensely than previously known, according to people familiar with his activities.

*The #BrionesSoceity claims to bring a 'new politics' to #SanFrancisco. What the want are Republican politics including free markets, charter schools, etc.
They have their own podcast, their co-founder & president is a GOP (READ: Grand Nazi Party) delegate named Jay Donde. He with the Briones Republicans. And he's the founder of GreatSchool.org, Raise Ready Kids, co-founder of Family Engagement Lab, etc.

Trump Targets #SanFrancisco's #Presidio
As expected, Trump is targeting the Presidio for dismantling. Is the #NetworkStateCULT making its move to claim this public land for one of its proposed #FascistCities?

If #BalajSrinivasan is any guide, then the #SiliconValley #plutocrats are definitely not ok.

NOTE: FYI, 'blues' means Democrats, progressives, etc. But if you think that doesn't include #anarchists, you're not paying attention.

gain in US billionaire net worth, 2023-5, per year: 1.15 trillion
Cost of giving every household but the top 25 percent ($98,540+, assuming no one else in the household) $1000/month, per year: ~1.14 trillion
But sure, our money is being put to good use.

I understand that modern authoritarianism works in part by making it difficult or impossible to know what's true, and thereby undermining the very notion of "truth" itself.
And I understand that LLMs and image and video generators are also likely to make it difficult or impossible to know what's true in the near future. I can see how authoritarians might welcome their development.
What I can't understand is: How do the elites who are (or hope to be) at the top of an authoritarian regime imagine that they will be able to distinguish fact from fiction in this dark, truthless age they're ushering in?
Do they imagine they're just enormously more intelligent than everyone else? Do they imagine they will have exclusive control of the machinery of fabrication?
Or do they imagine that even they no longer require "truth" as we know it? That facts really do not matter?

The governing ideology of the far right has become a monstrous, supremacist survivalism. Our task is to build a movement strong enough to stop them.
