Oh look, a spaghetti diagram 🤯 of AI overlords tracing their lineage back to the almighty Google. Because what better way to understand tech than with a migraine-inducing web of nodes? 🔍🔄 Enjoy playing "Six Degrees of Sergey Brin" while your brain cells plot their escape. 🧠💥

Die #Oligarchies und der #Faschismus jetzt Live auf allen Kanälen.

Wie es so schön hieß, der #Kommunismus verteufelte die #Faschisten genauso wie die #Demokraten weil sie zum teil die #Marktwirtschaft und #Privateigentum / #Oligarchies tolerieren.

Ich würde ja #abstimmen welches der Punkte das geringste übel ist. Aber meine #Demokraten haben seit 1949 noch kein Gesetz dazu verabschiedet.

Aber da kann man nichts machen.
Echt jetzt?

Treffen sich zwei #Oligarchies gibt's geteiltes Land, waren früher auch mal mehr,... Naja offensichtlich hat keiner Geld und Mut mehr um das alte Spiel zu unterbrechen.
Dabei wird die Absicht die Gesellschaft auszubluten immer offensichtlicher und dreister gefordert und dabei spielt es keine Rolle mehr welche Nation mit #Bürgernwiewir geopfert wird.

Dabei haben wir alle hier die das ändern könnten!

@freakonometrics
L’hebdomadaire britannique libéral 'The Economist', que l’on peut difficilement soupçonner de gauchisme, estime que l’essor de la #fortune héritée en #Europe comme aux #ÉtatsUnis « a des conséquences économiques et sociales alarmantes, car il met en péril non seulement l’idéal méritocratique, mais le #capitalisme lui-même ».

Trump is testing waters on Ukraine to see how far he can go elsewhere

A ‘win’ in #Ukraine may lead Trump to act in #Gaza, #Canada or #Greenland

Globally #Trump’s focus is cooperating with world’s leading #autocracies & #oligarchies to get #US get richer at the expense of just about everyone else.

In part, this is because the Trump administration is testing the waters to see just how far and how rapidly it can go.

It's quite interesting that some "one party" (the Peoples Republic of China for example), were able to foresee the future and set due course much earlier than some western pluralistic systems (or "two party" oligarchies like the "of the people for the people" republic of the USA). China has been investing intensely in renewable energy for the past two decades, while the US has been opening new oil fields, under both of its "two party" administrations.

So, don't you "I told you so" about . The problem is not how to persuade the average Joe or the Trump voter about being real; that time has past. The real problem has always been how to create and maintain sensible political systems that work for the benefit of the many against the corrupting power of the few ('oligoi' in Greek, hence 'oligarchy').

The untouchable have always been THE problem. Try doing something about THAT, if you can.

There should be more talk about the unfitness of the GOPs nominee for #President. A consummate liar who would welcome #oligarchies and create a crime syndicate benefiting only those who toe the line. P.S. He's also #OLD

@00Aaron There is truly a big difference between market and capitalism. And also huge difference between pro-market and pro-business agendas.

The enmeshing of all of these separate vectors together is the root of the confusion.

A market economy can be a less-damaging theater for people with a Nietzschean will to power to pursue their edge than politics. But that all falls apart if they’re allowed to become oligarchs.

And what we have, recently also in the west, are #oligarchies.

Under our so called #Democracy #DougFord is close to an absolute ruler for 4 years. In reality there are no democracies. They are all #Oligarchies or worse. I think he is laughing while he is sticking it to us and his rich cronies will make sure he and his family will be well taken care of after he leaves politics. Like most politicians. Why is Brian Malrunnée not behind bars. By the way - another #Con!

@chu There never were countries that are democracies. It was always #Oligarchies, #Always! Except that this #Oligarchy is stupid and greedy beyond the pale - and we all pay the price. #Ideology kills - whether it is religious or driven by greed.

#Einstein wasn't just brilliant in physics. He also understood the market dynamics of #capitalism and #oligarchies. The full text is contained in the image content.

I believe we've reached the time he foresaw.

People's Chancellor - Economics For The Many

Via Full Fact:
"In the inaugural May 1949 edition of socialist magazine Monthly Review, Einstein argued that private capital "tends to become concentrated in few hands", resulting in "an oligarchy of private capital the enormous power of which cannot be effectively checked even by a democratically organized political society."

"Moreover, under existing conditions, private capitalists inevitably control, directly or indirectly, the main sources of information (press, radio, education)."

"It is thus extremely difficult, and indeed in most cases quite impossible, for the individual citizen to come to objective conclusions and to make intelligent use of his political rights."
