QOTD:“Just remember that the tech people want two things: Money for themselves, and totalitarian socialism for you. That explains 90% of the valley’s actions.” *

One thing the bosses of those companies keep yammering on about is that they believe it’s their duty and obligation to “change” the world (“Do you want to be able to pay your bills and live a peaceable life or do you want to change the world?”). What exactly that is and what it entails is never explained.
So what’s the difference between those people and political despots?
A monopoly on the use of force?
Bingo! An important distinction.
However, the tech billionaires may not enjoy a monopoly on the use of force but they do advocate for an ever expanding role for a government that does.
And if you want to understand their mindset on use of power, observe what they do with the power they have over their own communication platforms.
Imagine your phone company kicking you off their network when an AI application determines your conversation with your friend is inappropriate and violates its terms of use.
Once one is ensconced within the walls of their guarded and secured estate with hundreds of millions in the bank … their mind is turned to the persistent need for security. What better means to attain security than to impose draconian government control over ALL the people? The government becomes your personal security force. The government’s military and police … are their personal military and police.
They forget two socialist examples:
a) Chinese cultural revolution – lots of wealthy people and intellectuals found themselves bundled off to work in the fields after they completed their re-education “courses”. Of course some were killed out right.
b) Stalin’s purges. If you got too powerful – Stalin had you executed or shipped off to a gulag.
So give them what they think they want for us. Forget anti-trust suits. Expropriate the bastards, fling them into general population and throw away the keys. Teach them what socialism really involves.
You won’t have to do this more than twice. Globalist investors fearing more of the same will cash out at a heavy discount, giving real entrepreneurs a chance to whip Silicon Valley into an assrt for America, not her enemies.
Milton Friedman is most upset with this posting.
“the market the market the market the market”
as is ronnie raygun, of the top 3 right wing republican heroes list.
“deregulate deregulate deregulate deregulate”
so what happened since ronnie’s days? Milton’s?
and to say that most of these tech warriors are Jooish would upset many in here, so I won’t do that. I’ll just say that you need to skower through Caroline Glick’s opinion pieces, as she has already said this!!!
