How to survive the broligarchy: 20 lessons for the post-truth world | Carole Cadwalladr https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2024/nov/17/how-to-survive-the-broligarchy-20-lessons-for-the-post-truth-world-donald-trump #Investigativejournalism #Surveillance #Pressfreedom #DonaldTrump #Technology #USpolitics #ElonMusk #Russia #Media

"The Trump campaign knew that men were his ticket back to power, and it targeted them—pointedly young men, and men of color—with a sophisticated campaign of grievance and disinformation. And in that, they were massively aided by the manosphere and its billionaire mascot: Elon Musk."

~ Clara Jeffery

What is Bluesky and why are so many people suddenly leaving X for the platform? https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2024/nov/16/what-is-bluesky-and-why-are-so-many-people-suddenly-leaving-x-for-the-platform-elon-musk #Digitalmedia #Socialmedia #Technology #Worldnews #ElonMusk #Bluesky #USnews #Media #X

#OcasioCortez Warns #Trump #NYCRally Was Primer for Taking Power 'by Force'

"That's what they're doing when they're inciting violence and hatred against #Latinos, against #BlackAmericans, against Americans who don't have children."

Brett Wilkins
Oct 28, 2024

"U.S. Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez warned Monday that the hate-filled campaign rally held by former Republican President Donald Trump at #MadisonSquareGarden in New York City was meant to further prime supporters for another #January 6 - style attempt to seize power by force if Democratic Vice President #KamalaHarris wins next month's election.

"Sunday's event—which drew comparisons to a #1939NaziRally that packed the iconic Midtown Manhattan arena—featured speakers including billionaire #ElonMusk, conspiracy theorist Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and comedian #TonyHinchcliffe, who called the U.S. territory of #PuertoRico a 'floating island of garbage.'

"Although the Trump campaign has attempted to distance the GOP presidential candidate from Hinchcliffe's bigoted remarks, Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) said during a Monday interview on MSNBC's 'Morning Joe' that Sunday's event was 'not just a presidential rally,' it was 'a hate rally.' "

News publishers, press freedom advocates and journalists in past days have come out in Europe to turn their backs on X, the social media site run by tech tycoon and Donald Trump booster Elon Musk.

Again good news, better late than never and I hope the trend will continue: La Vanguardia has stopped posting directly on X, citing the platform’s role in spreading misinformation, hate speech, and bot-driven distortions. The move follows the paper’s concerns over content moderation cuts since Musk’s takeover and aligns with Trump’s proposal to appoint Musk to a new government efficiency role.

Some good news: The Guardian has announced it will stop posting from its official accounts on Elon Musk’s social media platform, X (formerly Twitter), due to concerns that the negatives, including "often disturbing content," now outweigh the benefits. The organization informed readers of this decision, affecting over 80 accounts with around 27 million followers.

"We wanted to let readers know that we will no longer post on any official Guardian editorial accounts on the social media site X (formerly Twitter). We think that the benefits of being on X are now outweighed by the negatives and that resources could be better used promoting our journalism elsewhere."

For some reason people fleeing the sinking #Twitter / #X ship for #BlueSky don't seem to be aware of the fact that crypto bros at #BlockchainCapital bought a huge stake in the company just a few weeks ago. Like these are basically the same crypto bros who just helped #ElonMusk buy Twitter. They might even be literally the same people (I strongly suspect they are but I'm too lazy to check). Either way #BlockchainCapital was co-founded by #BrockPierce, who also brought you #Tether, AKA the company that Trump's transition team chairman manages $120 billion for. Pierce is also a friend of the #Netanyahu family.

You don't have to take my word for it. Here's the official press release: https://bsky.social/about/blog/10-24-2024-series-a

Moving to BlueSky is not an escape. Growing a base there is just putting in a bunch of work to create a platform that will be co-opted by crypto bros as soon as X breaks in half.

p.s. crypto bros (#a16z) also own #Substack

Re-upping my story on Elon Musk and Miller's ties

The WSJ reported that Elon Musk gave $50 million to a Stephen Miller nonprofit (ironically called Citizens for Sanity) and my research shows that Miller's nonprofits spent $90 million on media contractors

Because of a bullish day in the stock market, #ElonMusk's net worth increased $13 billion in one day, partly due to his connection with Trump.

Some news organizations are saying it is now up $26 billion since election day. That much in just a few days.

It's just a reminder that the original word fascism, as coined by Mussolini was the merging of corporations and government (Corporatism) and total authority over its citizens. #USPol It will lead to corruption like never seen in the US.

"Aside from the horrific reality of Trump 2.0, the atrocities continue in the Middle East, Spain is drowning and the Crisafulli LNP Queensland Government is preparing to get “tough on crime” by locking up children as young as ten (which is already happening in the NT). Oh, and in case you missed it, overturning abortion is also back on the agenda up there."
