'You're with the billionaires or you're with the people' — Interview with Gil Duran | DW News
US Author Gil Durán warns that Silicon Valley “billionaires have enough money to buy both sides" in any US election. In his book „The Nerd Reich: Silicon Valley Fascism and the War on Democracy,“ Durán pieces together public statements from powerful tech investors like Peter Thiel that amount to a chilling attack on democracy as we know it. Durán criticizes both Republicans and Democrats for refusing to take on the big money in tech. #dwcurrentaffairs #techoligarchy #gilduran Chapters: 0:00 The war on democracy 2:02 Billionaire power moves 4:01 Peter Thiel’s vision 5:37 The rise of JD Vance 7:38 Elon Musk's influence 9:36 Election threats 11:07 The ideology of fascism 13:21 Partisanship and power 15:55 The network state concept 18:09 The AI bubble 19:33 Economic and moral risks 22:05 A call for accountability For more news go to: http://www.dw.com/en/ Follow DW on social media: ►Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dwnews ►TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@dwnews ►Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/deutschewellenews/ ►Twitter: https://twitter.com/dwnews ►Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/user/DWNews/ Für Videos in deutscher Sprache besuchen Sie: https://www.youtube.com/dwdeutsch Subscribe: https://www.youtube.com/user/deutschewelleenglish?sub_confirmation=1

Trump Cozies Up To Autocrats After Press Ban

"Because the tech executives apparently want it to be a dictatorship, because they like the idea of oligarchy. Much like the oil and gas industry prefers compliant, corrupt ruling families who don't turn over."

The lack of empathy and being able to have small coversations has many sources. Trump/Elon admin hates everything empathy/woke/DEI - racism - not educated at home how to behave as a human being - social laziness - a ruder society - entitlement - robots/AI/transhumans from techoligarchy to take over.

5/5 The Bottom Line:

The outrage, the algorithms, and the populism are just the packaging. The ultimate goal is raw control over global energy, oil, and mineral wealth.
