On his knees and ready to please.

The enemy of the enemy is a friend.

And they know who’s side luigi was on.

Corporations and facism go hand in hand.

Let's make Pixelfed blow up with users and traffic!

Suckerberg.

Zuck, just go to prison already. You wanna be a man? Stand up to the bully in the room and go to prison. Gives you plenty of sparring partners to practice all that BJJ.

And when you're ultimately stabbed a million times in the chest, at least your daughters won't be as ashamed of you as they will be when they look back on this moment... yknow, as they cry golden tears into trillion dollar bills.

What's the point of being a billionaire if you still have to kiss ass. What a loser.

I should start a pillow company. I could market them as being great to scream into when life....happens. When you read a headline, scream into a pillow. When a news story breaks, scream into a pillow. When your dog runs away, scream into a pillow. When your kids run away, scream into a pillow. When the government turns into a thinly fascist operation working under the direct leadership of Putin, scream into a pillow. When World War 3 breaks out, and America is the bad guys, scream into a pillow. When Canada and Mexico invade the USA, scream into a pillow. When you realize just how smug of a bastard George Clooney is, scream into a pillow! When you're happy and you know it clap your hands! silence Ok, just scream into a pillow then.

The sad thing is, I'm now thinking I legit could make some money by releasing "Scream Pillows". Marketed specifically as stress relief. Because that's the 2025 we live in.

Tech bros are new money. The oligarchs who own the GOP are old guard generational wealth dynasties spanning the most powerful industries — energy/commodities (fossil fuels, mining, petrochem, etc), wall street, the MIC, big agriculture, big pharma, media and telecommunications.

Those are the oligarchs who want Russian/Chinese style state capitalist dictatorship, because they're the ones who'll be i charge. They're lobbyists write ALL the bills and orders. Trump is just the figurehead to distract the people and maintain the whole "democracy" charade until the thin veneer is no longer necessary.

What a bitch.

Gotta get that daily lick in!

Macho Pillow. It's a big dick bicep shaped pillow for strong, conservative men. Nothing sexual.

I feel like 'normal' politicians are more beholden to old-guard oligarchs, because those are the ones that brought their parents and grandparents to power. The people who've been funding them through their whole, 50-year careers. Those oligarchs have generally learned to avoid the public eye, including politicians that attract public scrutiny.

Donald Trump doesn't care about relationships, heritage, or established trust. He just wants money and flattery, right now, in great volume, and that makes him uniquely susceptible to new money tech bros.

The philosopher Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king. Said Aristippus, "If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils."

Said Diogenes, "Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king." - 370 BC

I, for one, welcome our new Overlord.

For some, human pride and dignity have literally no value, or is something they will hold simply to trade it off whenever convenient, especially in a world that can value it, so it’s just like a commodity.

Those oligarchs are still avoiding public scrutiny, working behind the scenes. They've been funding both parties the entire god damn time.

While Trump is obviously more dangerous and corrupt, and far less trustworthy than average... those oligarchs could not care less. They have more in common with a Russian or Chinese oligarch than they do with 99.999% of the American population. They have homes around the world; fallout shelters and citizenship in NZ, as well as the EU or Singapore. They have private security teams that cost more per year than you or I will make in a lifetime. Whatever happens, they'll remain protected by all mainstream political parties the world over. Trump is a dementia patient. He doesn't read anything he signs (like most of congress). He's literally just a doormat for moneyed interests. The cost to bribe him is 1/1000th the tax cuts he gives them. The ROI is a no brainier. They're not afraid of theocracy or fascism. They're the ones implementing it.

In a rich man's house, there's no where to spit except for his face.

Does all this sound like they're actually loving Trump or are there credible threat to their health from the Trump admin? They seemed to fall into line so smoothly and fast that it seems a bit weird.

They think they're going to make a lot of money through mergers, acquisitions, and monopolization. All they need to do is suck a little dick publicly
