@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.

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.

@sub_o @anildash Um, you mean like DeSantis or Abbot?

Trump..?

Trump is an exception as he is uniquely incompetent and narcissistic. Abbot is incompetent. DeSantis is roughly more cunning with a paper thin ego.

Psycopathy means you have no morals. Psycopaths born in low income households go to prison, while those from wealthy households gravitate to what ever gives them the most power to achieve their personal agendas.
