When the Oligarchs Don’t Need You Anymore

I’m not sure what else will be required as evidence that our government and society is being run by men who view the rest of us as poor quality commodities. They say as much in their “Dark Enlightenment” nonsense, in the Project 2025 Temu Ayn Rand papers, and of course, by their own actions. That is the best indicator of all. The use of children as pawns to abuse in order to compromise individuals of wealth and power is clear to anyone not firmly with scales on their eyes. There is no need at this point for a point of “disclosure”. It is grossly evident and to continue to ignore it will most certainly lead to more deaths and misery for the vast majority of people.

We have a group of men who are actively preparing themselves for a societal collapse. In fact, by their own writings, they invite it. They build bunkers to hurriedly protect themselves from the fallout of their own actions. They seem to only want enough humans around to serve them in ways that AI cannot and even that looks to be an infinitesimally small number. Perhaps they need enough to breed children to abuse? There are no plans coming forth to replace income with a UBI when jobs are lost to AI, and of course that is already occurring. In a nation flush with cash, but not for you, millions are cast off on Medicaid, in what can only be considered a premeditated murder of the masses.

But you see, they don’t care. It’s not an unfortunate side effect or a required austerity measure in a time of crisis. It is a class of individuals who do not see themselves as one of us. The concept of empathy, solidarity and working for a beautiful future is not a consideration for individuals wounded so profoundly at the core. If anything, this is why Empire comes down so hard on those who do show empathy, think of Alex Pretti helping the woman who was shoved to the ground by the enabler goon squad. They don’t have it in themselves to feel that profound warmth that comes from belonging and having others care for them in anything but a transactional manner. And for this, they want to eradicate others who show this concern for the well-being of their own neighbors.

The propaganda is relentless, but of course it must be. If these derangements of society came easily, then of course such a firm hold on the narrative would not be necessary. I once saw it mentioned that if women were truly to be subservient and this was indeed the natural order of things, it wouldn’t be so imperative to keep reminding them of it via religious dogmatism. These hierarchies are unnatural and to keep them from toppling, massive amounts of glue, tape and violence are needed. Every step of the way, whether it was taking away the commons or strong-arming labor into factories, it’s always been the same. It takes violence and unnatural coercion to plunge the vast majority of the populace into lives that don’t make sense, to lives less free than animals in nature.

There is no reason for technology to have been used to further subjugate us. In a just society, these advances would be used for things like mitigating natural disasters and allowing the lives of citizens to be meaningful and connected. Can you even imagine what would be possible if most of the populace weren’t scared of ruin via one misstep? What grand inventions have we missed? What works of art? They say the average medieval peasant had more days off than current workers. Think of the inherent cruelty in a society taking away the right to choose to be a mother and then not even giving said mother one single required paid day off before needing to return to work. That’s not allowing meaningful lives. It’s the factory farming of humans. In such a setting, there is little time for anything but base existence. Is it any wonder there might be a need for massive anti-depressants, stimulants and whatever else can numb the pain? None of this is necessary; it’s simply to prop up a class of individuals who got there via a profound ability to step on others in a manner most of us would find repellent and impossible.

These tech bro nightmare freaks also have sickening fantasies of AI immortality. They see a future without biological humans at all, save their own uploaded consciousness. They have aligned with simple, sick, malignant narcissists of the political class who serve as their accomplices on this dystopian road.

Until they can hack immortality, they seem to be holding something of a breeder fetish like we have seen with Elon Musk. Father to what……14 or so kids that he doesn’t see or care for? I wonder if he can even remember their names. And this is the ketamine riddled man given the DOGE keys? In what universe is this anything but an attempt to destroy?

We’ve gotten a taste from the disgusting Epstein files that that guy had a breeder fetish as well. So many DNA tests were ordered that the manufacturing company said WTF? These men are so profoundly disturbed and with the dangerous mix of certainty that they are a completely different species than the 99.99999%, it seems to be a bit dangerous to give them such power over us. Again, they view the populace as mere commodities and most of us have aged out of what they deem useful.

The pedophilia is so telling about not just their sick enjoyment of torturing the innocent, but also how they view our entire world. They voraciously take in the most destructive manner, and they leave the damage in their rear-view mirror. You don’t have to feel for the victims or for the earth if you see yourself as some kind of demi-god. The fact that so many don’t realize the endgame of the oligarchs is troubling. It’s quite terrifying to realize that you are surrounded by monsters, but keeping your eyes closed really won’t do anything but allow them to take you without a fight.

Many are placing their hopes on Democrats standing up and staunching the bleed. If you are looking to a tool like Chuck Schumer to do anything beyond his role of keeping Israel in the manner she is accustomed to, you will be sorely disappointed.

The Epstein files and their bizarre release/not release have opened up a bit of the tawdry world that the middle-level accomplices occupied. They were enamored to be in that world and open to any level of class traitorship in order to be near power and lack of accountability. Looking at you, Chomsky et al.

We have had dozens of women come forward to say what had been done to them as children by these men. Some even went to the FBI— it looks like as far back as what…the 90s? I’m sure nasty men like Michael Cohen have threatened many of them. I’m guessing some have even likely died, whether by their own hands or not.

It’s ridiculous that we seem to need a corrupt government to hand us the files in a package with a bow to take this seriously. We have goddamn Donald Trump saying pedophile/incest adjacent crap out loud over and over through the years. Red MAGA hat after Red MAGA hat (I’m replacing red flag with that). You know, maybe when people tell you who they are, believe it, as they say.

I believed the women who came forward then, and I believe them now. Instead of playing Bondi’s game with file drippings and wondering who is under the black lines, I think we should believe the critical mass of victims.

One important aspect of this is to realize that in the same manner as the Palestinians have been treated, you and yours will be treated likewise. This is the case with the “disposable” girls in the Epstein class. Our lives mean nothing to them. It is intersectional in all the terrible ways. An older man without a job any longer due to AI will not be treated with any more deference than the Palestinian woman, the trafficked child. This is our great difficulty, because most Americans certainly do not realize this, but they are getting a hint at it when they see white moms shot in the face after saying “I’m not mad at you”.

You don’t need to wait for a government that lives by lies to tell you your truth. Does it feel correct that a man like Epstein would fade away into that good night? On a night that the cameras weren’t working and the guards were sleeping? When a mortician of regard says…hmmm, those photos of “dead Epstein” don’t look all that dead? You don’t have to feel you are a Q-Anon Wayfair box nut to ask some questions about what the wealthy will do for each other and what they will do against you.

But the strongest takeaway is to know that none of this depravity is accidental, be it the Medicaid cancellations or the pedophilia. It’s an ethos these powerful men share and there is nothing for the rest of us but misery, subjugation and death if we allow it to continue.
