 They already own most of media. Beyond Fox, there is Sinclair broadcasting plus FB / the Tube which promote rw content the most for outlets like DailyWire. We live in a situation that rhymes with a century ago, but in many ways our situation is unique because the take over is a project run over 50 years. It has been a stealth coup of sorts. It is already institutionalized. DeSantis made a stab at a police force loyal to him IIRC 5 comments
Peter “technology is an alternative to politics” Thiel It’s hard to describe just how centrifugal both old and younger billionaires are. The older ones are RW libertarians and the younger lean an-cap. Both are perfectly happy to lie to get their ways and they have the money to do it.  @GhostOnTheHalfShell @anildash they all are the same, as soon as there's a news that they will be taxed, all the sudden those liberal techbros either go straight up double irish dutch sandwich or start bankrolling fascists under the promise of hefty tax breaks.  @GhostOnTheHalfShell@masto.ai @sub_o@mastodon.social @anildash@me.dm |

@GhostOnTheHalfShell @anildash You're right that we're already seeing it.
The old money controls the traditional media, traditional military, and traditional banks.
The new money is about the social media, crypto, and probably mixture of pmc and palantir, and probably palmer luckey's company.
I believe there's a good probability that next year, Reddit will become the perfect place for election disinformation. Twitter already is, Meta probably wants to be in round 2.
