The billionaire class wants to decimate the white collar workforce. Because white collar workers are expensive. And because white collar workers—who historically sided with billionaires—are questioning that alliance. Which makes their knowledge and resources a huge threat to billionaire power.

We gotta come up with a better system than “everything rests on whether these twelve billionnaires are nice”

Now, I say decimate because the goal isn't to destroy white collar work entirely. It's to make those "good jobs" so rare that people will do anything to get and keep them. Including and most especially—working to quell public resistance and bolster billionaires' power.

This desire to decimate the white collar workforce is also driving the billionaire class's efforts to cut, curb, and control higher education. Because academia is the machine that produces the white collar class.

Most of this applies to academia too!

The desire to decimate the white collar workforce is also driving billionaire attacks on DEI. Because marginalized students/workers have led the questioning of white collar alignment with billionaires, and bigotry makes it easy to get privileged workers not to care if the marginalized are pushed out

For billionaires, attacking DEI also creates a new set of allies. It gets blue collar workers (especially White men) to side with billionaires rather than against them, by fueling blue collar workers' anger at the fact that they didn't benefit from efforts to expand access to white collar prosperity

February 4th is the 113th anniversary of the birth of Rosa Parks

@zinnedproject.bsky.social has excellent resources on the sanitizing mythology around Parks & how understanding her real history is key to understanding the demands of the present moment.

"When a corrections officer sexually assaults me, ain't that intimate partner violence? When a guard uses his authority to coerce me, ain't that abuse of power? When the state denies me protection from violence, ain't I a woman who deserves safety?"

Ain't We Women, Too?
For many incarcerated women, the state is their abuser, but the gender-based violence we experience behind bars goes ignored.

Bezos isn't destroying the Washington Post because it isn't profitable. He's destroying the Washington Post because he's calculated that a robust free press threatens the ability of his class to warp society around their interests

But like oligarchs in every other era of history, they're just men and their money doesn't give them superpowers. They can do incredible damage to humanity and civilization but they can't defeat nature itself and they can't stop people from seeking truth even if we have to find new ways to get to it

They believe this time will be different than the first Gilded Age because modern technology gives them the power of gods, both in terms of shaping reality and becoming immortal.

This is not an exaggeration, it's what the tech billionaires and other global oligarchs have literally said themselves.

What today's billionaires are doing to information systems is nothing new. They seek to maintain their power through control of information, to protect themselves by destroying the general public's understanding of reality, to hide the fact that they're responsible for the conditions we live under.

In history, whenever oligarchs reach a certain level of money/power they instinctively understand that their existence is a crime against humanity and become paranoid that the public will revolt against them.

That's why they ALWAYS try to use money/power to distort our perception of reality itself.

One by one, Europeans mentioned in the Epstein files who still hold political office are beginning to resign or are being forced out of office.

Meanwhile, ruled by an administration almost entirely made up of Epstein associates, the US carries on as if nothing really happened.
