  • I don’t want to just dismiss this as “business as usual.” What stands out to me is how coordinated the return-to-work push was. Sure, we know there’s a “big club” of elites who share similar goals. But sharing goals isn’t the same as acting in lockstep.

    Think about it: I can join a fitness club, but that doesn’t mean all of us show up on Wednesday wearing the same outfit. There’s a difference between belonging to a group and receiving instructions that lead everyone to move together.

    That’s why I think this deserves more attention. The inference here isn’t just that the wealthy share values or face the same incentives it’s that they communicate and coordinate globally in ways that go far beyond coincidence. And that, to me, is a much bigger story than just “rich people doing rich people stuff.”






  • But are you the target?

    You need to know if they’re effective. It’s not about making you personally chuckle. It’s about momentum. It’s about engagement. There’s no world where you get nothing but thought provoking funny content on the regular. This is still clever enough I think and works as a good meme

    Yea because ignoring a sign of cancer stops the Cancer from spreading and telling others they can do it means it stops even faster

    Blocking this stuff means you will get more of it. Without a doubt. Not engaging with it in its infancy only means by the time you realize you can’t keep up with the blocks will also be the time you realize you shouldn’t have contributed to given them carte blanche to eyes and ears and platforms. People who block things that they don’t like are the same as people who don’t vote in elections where the opposition is an orange Nazi

    Are you a bot?

    I found this happened on Reddit. It’s like these posts were bait, then comments like you were used to convince users to sanitize their feeds it basically gets the opposition to these people to eliminate themselves. Then when it matters, these people have basically a red carpet to the platform since the opposition blocked them all. But they’re growth only means you’re just going to get exposed to more of this since you are giving them what they want. You block them, but that engagement they grow from means you will see more of it later.
