Musk attacking the governments of Germany, UK, and France and supporting far right parties to take over.

Trump threatening to invade everyone.

To all appearances, we are seeing the rise of a global cabal set about to turn "the West" into a giant Fascist Oligarchy

1/

Fascism almost always comes with imperialism.

Putin started his war against Ukraine because he wants to be remembered as "Vlad the Great who restored the empire". It's all about his ego.

2/

Trump is easy to explain. Trump is 100% ego and id.

He is looking at the return of imperialism and thinking "I could be Trump The Great", first President to expand the US in over 100 years.

3/

In addition, while Trump claims Greenland is about national security, it is really about the grift.

Buy/invade at taxpayer expense.

Sell the strip mining rights to mining companies for $1 for a 100 year lease.

And of course, require millions/billions in kickbacks.

4/

Militarily retake the Panama Canal, license one of Trump's Panama Papers LLCs to the management rights.

Trump is all ego and grift. It is really simple.

5/

But why is Musk supporting far right, even Nazi parties?

Far right fascists are notoriously corrupt. Putin, Orban, Fico, Trump.

They will gleefully sell their country out in exchange for power and money.

6/

That is the Fascist Oligarchy dynamic.

Fascist movements typical evolve out of a cult of personality. The fascists keep the masses in line, while the oligarchs finance them in exchange for freedom to do anything they want.

Just look at russia.

7/

It is now clear that Musk bought Twitter, with the help of Saudi Arabia and russian oligarchs, as an experiment to see if he could use social media and social engineering to push fascist Trump over the finish line.

He succeeded.

8/

Now Musk is looking to repeat the process in the largest European countries. If he can capture the largest countries, the smaller ones will fall eventually.

It isn't just Musk. It is also Putin, China, and Iran. With minor players like Orban, Fico, and Lukashenka.

9/

Musk isn't alone either. It is Thiel, Sacks, and the rest of the tech bros.

Don't know if others like Bezos are in for the "big picture", but they are bending the knee to fascism in the US so that they can get a piece of that Oligarchy pie.

10/

Support the far right, when they take over, they sell the country out to the oligarchs, and the feedback loop begins.

Each country that falls makes it much much harder for the peasants to fight back.

11/

They are moving at incredible speed. By the time anybody sees the bigger picture, it will be too late.

It isn't people "going crazy", there is a method to the madness.

US (+Canada/Greenland/Mexico), russia, Germany, UK, France... look at the economic and military power.

12/

Now add a group of oligarch "kingmakers" with no allegiance to any country propping up fascist "kings" across all of those countries.

Then add in minor players like Hungary, Slovakia, Belarus, and Iran.

13/

Oh yeah, and add in the return of imperialism.

Who is going to stand up to it?

Smaller countries fall in line to become vassal states or they get run over and absorbed.

14/

Fascist movements tend to be good at keeping people in line. They divide with racism and bigotry. Keep people divided and blaming the powerless.

By the time people wake up to it, there is a powerful police state in place to beat them down.

There is your dystopian movie

15/

We are at the beginning. Watching a Global Fascist Oligarchy coming together and flexing its muscles.

It is not madness. It is a plan to destabilize and conquer, unfolding right before our eyes.

It is going to get a LOT worse really fast.

16/end

P.S. If you support Ukraine, understand that Trump's imperialist dream only becomes really possible by allowing/assisting Putin to break the seal on the prohibitions against imperialism.
