Before seeing all of this I thought the Billionaires were blinded by their wealth and thought it would save them from the effects of Climate Change. Then I start seeing this stuff and especially reading Naomi Klein and Astra Taylor's article in the Guardian: (https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-interactive/2025/apr/13/end-times-fascism-far-right-trump-musk). It was eye-opening and frightening. These Bond villains are actively trying to bring about the end of civilization and kill millions (possibly billions) to get what they want. I still think they are crazier than a loon, but with billions of dollars pushing their ideas, and a massively corrupt political system willing to listen, I fear a lot of people are going to die.

This video is excellent. The Dark Enlightenment/Dark MAGA ideology is dangerous and has already infiltrated Washington via Elon Musk and Peter Thiel.

Everyone dshould watch this video. mIts serious as hell.

will win them the world... Never have we faced something like this, and it is true that mass ignorance on these issues, the MSM's refusal/fear of in-depth coverage of this ongoing and coming threat--even for those who have some understanding, and an even greater (sometimes willful) ignorance among those in Congress, leave us intensely vulnerable.

I can only hope a larger proportion of "countering tech nerds" is emerging to help us fight back. And more of us who will take the time to self-educate can bring along those who don't in a combined "resistance." It does not appear as though we have much time. These horrible Fascists have (apparently) been planning this for years...
