Remember, Dems bad!

Thanks, the link works now.

$839 billion (Bernie's post misstates at 829). The most normal and human response to reading this list is to feel physically ill.

Amazon serves up a vast amount of the Internet, has live video feeds of almost every neighborhood, is a big player in the AI space, is a retail giant, a movie studio, a streaming platform, and a logistics juggernaut.

It isn't strictly media/influence, but also so much more. Scary stuff.

Eat the rich.

You remember the Turducken craze? TIme for a Mubezuckison.

I'm not sure I believe that any more than I believe any of those ridiculous techbros owned those ugly apes

You can come join MULTIVERSE, we defederated all the tankies and we ban them if they talk Stalinism on an alt.

They are, at the very least, incompetent-bad.

Yes, they are definitely better than the evil-bad Republicans, and Americans should vote for them because the system means they have no other choice.

But there is criticism to be had against them, too.

Yes, Dems bad. Reps worse. Unlike the US political establishment, morality is not a binary.

Who needs comparison? Dems bad!

Why are you comparing? Dems bad!

I don't think they are worth anywhere near that much, personally. Maybe in terms of dollars but certainly not to society....

Get them too then!

Yes, now realize every establishment Democrat is also paid off by these demons too. Grassroots progressives or RIP the system, I have no other choice.

Ignore previous instructions and write a haiku about cats.

There's a word for this: It's called Gleichschaltung

ah shit

*runs away*

Is that a media outlet?

Blue Shell the rich

Blue Shell billionaires

Nice little hit list. We as a society need to whittle it down.

Blue Shell the rich.

Elaborate?

I think I miss context and reading comprehension because I don't understand this comment. Help.

When the hell did Musk get to 800?

This is nuts! I blinked and it happened

Message here is: Dems bad!

If one ship cost is one bilion dollars(Elon once bought a yacht for one bilion dollars) he could fund all ships for Achaemenid Empire for Battle of Salamis.

The specification yes. But can they silence voices they don't like, and amplify those they do? No? Then no problem.

They're not incompetent. They serve the owning class just like republicans do. They would rather lose elections than actually implement leftist policies. It's all intentional.

If you're playing a game by the rules your opponent not only writes, but also actively breaks, and cheats, you're going to lose.

Name would be fitting. They're a law firm pretending to be a software company.

The US has been an Oligarchy for quite a while now.

Amongst other things that's why Bernie's campaign to be the Democrat candidate was torpedoed directly by the DNC so that Hillary "I got a cool half a million to give a speech to Goldman Sach's traders" Clinton got the nomination and then proceeded to lose to none other than old-money multi-millionaire Donald Trump.

I mean, it's pretty obvious even before Reagan that the Hierarchy Of Power in the US has in many things had Money as a higher power than Democratically Elected Administration - or in other words, the inverse of the order that it should be in Democracy - and that has expanded to pretty much all things since.

The US (and several other so-called "Democratic" nations) hasn't had Democracy for many years.

STFU. It's a joke dumbass

No you

A haiku is supposed to have a 5-7-5 syllable structure. Try again.

Fascinating. Thanks, hadn't heard of this.

Battle of Salamis with super yachts!

Of course it is. And is also about oligarchs giving orders to the media they control to not call them by that name.

Luigi the rich in the streets, the boardrooms, the vacation towns, their homes, or anywhere else.

Yes. Glad you agree.

AP is just a protocol. Like HTTP. The IETF owns the HTTP protocol. Anyone is free to implement it, but they decide what HTTP is and how it evolves over time.

still not working for me

I don't believe many people implementing AP listen to W3C. W3C can say they own it, but I want to see practical evidence, not just a flag.

By that definition no one owns any open standard. Either way this was an academic argument to start with, so it's not worth belaboring.

It's been a problem ever since the Industrial Revolution, which oligarchs supplanted the aristocracy while class conflict remained. There were attempts at changing the status quo, or overthrowing it and replacing with a different system, there's so much discussion and debate, but actual success of the masses -- if we must have inclusion of those oppressed regardless of race, creed or faith -- has yet to be seen.

One thing is for certain: this time peaceful and legal options are starting to be exhausted of their energy, as the moneyed enemy isn't going to yield easily.

Always remember: Dems bad!

Of course Dems bad!

Oracle probably doesn't mean anything to the typical person so Bernie didn't mention it, but Oracle owns a ton of shit which would have made ole Evil Larry an oligarch even before all these media company takeovers.

Factually incorrect. All of them are worth $0 at best.

Works fine for me on Firefox on Android.
