Will the current musk coup define our future?

I stumbled onto this article, which has a number of highly relevant links to other articles worth reading, after reading an article about plutocracy and the Super Bowl in Common Dreams ( link also included below).

3. Short answer

I don’t know whether to laugh or cry…

6. I like history. I believe what is happening now is what happened at the fall of the Soviet Union.

Where state owned enterprises were "given" to a select few who then became the Russian oligarchs.

Change happens. Reagan created the oligarch class with his tax reduction on the top income earners. No one D or R ever made the effort to roll it back. You know, once a person has a lot of money their attitudes change. They are like an addict, "I LIKE THIS, I WANT MORE"

I do not worry about it really. Stuff happens. As I often say that in the world stage the U.S. is a toddler. We are around 250 years old. Most of the other countries in Asia, Europe etc are over 5,000 years old and are still here and generally prospering.

2. Unless the Resistance is far more successful

than I think possible, then that Resistance will define it

4. Certainly more is required from us

Without a substantial resistance, we are doomed. Plus, we need to send cyber security teams in to figure out what musk’s teams have done which isn’t going to happen under plan Bondi. I believe resistance is futile. We handed over the keys too easily this time. 😳 I think the end game has been run and we lost.
