Thank God the paper of record is finally tackling this vital issue.

The Zen of Work

The Supreme Court ruled that corporations are people, but not that they have feet.

That sounds reductive, but for Donald Trump, for whom popularity is everything, and who built his popularity on hatred of Spanish-speaking people, it's a devastating comeuppance. Which leads me to ask, is Bad Bunny Trump's Jesse Owens?

Because, for them, that was also the war, that was what they were fighting for, the dream of a "pure" Germany was just as important as defeating the Allies. As with Trump, they knew that the only way out of being caught committing crimes was to commit more and more crimes as their options wore out.

I bring up the Final Solution because, when Germany was losing the war, and was struggling to maintain supply lines and keep up demand for war materiel, they didn't slow down their efforts to exterminate undesirables, they sped them up, got frantic, devoted more and more resources to the effort.

Trump has not found his, yet, which I think is why he's so keen to start a civil war instead. It's all about loyalty for him, he's absolutely done trying to appeal to anyone but his most rabid base of rabid cultists.

This regime seems intent on speed-running the Holocaust, skipping all the boring parts and in a big hurry to get to the part where there's a permanent slave class of workers on call to do the work of industrialists. Hitler had the excuse of a war that was sure to bring glory to every German.

It's worth noting, again, that the "Final Solution" was not implemented until 1942, after nearly a decade of erosion of societal barriers. A whole lot of dominos had to fall before people accepted the idea of mass liquidation of millions of human lives.

They've certainly studied it! The good parts, anyway, the parts where the Nazi High Command, the SS and the Gestapo ruled with open corruption and depravity, living high on the hog while the rest of the country starved and died for their greed and vanity.

Let me step back for a moment and talk about Nazis, sigh, again. It would be great if there was something else to point to in comparison, but since the major actors in this scenario today are openly comparing themselves to Nazis, it seems like studying the history of that movement might be useful.

WHICH of those tech leaders specifically would like a large piece of unoccupied land (say, the size of Greenland) for a techno-capitalist utopia?

WHOM among the already tens of thousands of people disappeared will ever see freedom again? HOW many more will follow before someone stops this?

HOW MANY tech leaders have publicly stated that they are genetically superior to all other people who have ever lived, and should be treated as modern pharaohs, complete with chattel and slaves?
