Das größte Ziel von Amazon-Chef Jeff Bezos und X-Chef Elon Musk ist die Besiedlung des Weltalls durch eine Elite, die sie selbst aussuchen dürfen.

Dieses Radio-Feature geht der Frage nach, warum diese Milliardäre alles dafür tun, eine Dystopie Realität werden zu lassen.

Mein Eindruck ist, dass sie beim Science-Fiction-Konsum nicht in der Lage waren, Dystopien von positiven Utopien zu unterscheiden. Vielleicht sollte es mehr betreutes Lesen geben.

Hinzu kommt bei diesen rechtslibertären Milliardären (inkl. Peter Thiel) eine gefährliche Persönlichkeitsstörung, die jede Hemmung wegfallen lässt, selbst die globale Katastrophe herbeizuführen, um für einen Neuanfang nach ihrem Geschmack reinen Tisch zu schaffen.

Und viele der Visionen, die die Tech-Milliardäre antreiben, stammen aus einer bestimmten Art von Science-Fiction: libertären oder techno-oligarchischen Zukunftsentwürfen, die lange Zeit in der Popkultur nicht die Strahlkraft hatten, die sie heute besitzen. Heute, in einer Zeit, in der sich das Ende der Welt und die Flucht ins Weltall offenbar leichter vorstellen lässt als das Ende des Kapitalismus.

#CharlizeTheron says those who attended #JeffBezos wedding "suck" following his support for #DonaldTrump:

"Immigration policy has destroyed the lives of families, not criminals; women's rights are becoming less and less every day; queer and trans lives are increasingly being erased; and gender-based violence is on the rise. This isn't just policy, it's personal."

The democrats are a center-right party - you can see what they're doing to Mamdani simply because he has the gall to be an actual opposition candidate. The democrats are NOT going to materially oppose the fascism of MAGA.

I doubt many people want to hear this, but the USA probably does actually need a proper communist party, and it needs to work with existing trade unions as well as help organize and improve the lives of enormous numbers of precarious / gig / contract workers.

Defeating this wave of fascism will probably also require other measures, but coordinated solidarity and general strikes have historically been fairly effective tools against the consolidation of fascist power. For a lot of reasons, I am pretty pessimistic about the ability of scrappy local antifascist organizing to accomplish this.

Infosec ExchangeArdy’s (@risibledog@infosec.exchange)During Trump 1, plucky / scrappy antifascist activism was reasonably effective; but that was before a critical mass of industry & oligarchs threw their lot in w the MAGA movement (including its worst, most explicitly fascist /nazified elements). I do actually think that changes things pretty significantly, even without the purges & outright cronyism entailed by Project 2025.

Ben Jennings' cartoon commentary on Jeff Bezos' spectacle-wedding flaunting his wealth and privilege — while the Trump regime that has his support is moving to take away medical coverage and food support from needy citizens.

If you -- like billions of other little people around the world -- weren't invited to the lavish wedding of Jeff Bezos to Lauren Sanchez in Venice, Italy, you CAN still enjoy it vicariously.
Just read this wondrously passives aggressive take on it by Rex Huppke.
Spoiler alert: It DOESN'T answer the vital -- to me -- question, "Are Lauren Sanchez's boobs authentic or artificially enhanced."
Remember: Billionaires deserve to be happy, too. Even if it means impoverishing millions of others, destroying the planet, and throwing their greed in our faces.

"Just as extreme exhibitions of wealth drew popular anger in the late-19th-century Gilded Age, the wedding this weekend of billionaire Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and journalist Lauren Sánchez in Venice, Italy, which Reuters reports will cost between $46.5 million and $55.6 million, has drawn protests against oligarchy."
