(neologism, politics) A small group of ultrawealthy men who exert inordinate control or influence within a political structure, particularly while espousing views regarded as anti-democratic, technofascist, and masculinist.
The shit is hitting the fan at such a high rate that it can be difficult to keep up. So this is a place to share such news.

French style revolution is the only solution
Not without French Revolution numbers. They had an estimated 8% of their population in the resistance. In our nation of 340M, that would be ~27M people. We can barely break 5M nationally in protests.
If we tried something that stupid now, we’d be inviting the same fate as the German resistance against the Nazis. Engaging more of the ~270M people who aren’t protesting, but do not support Trump, is the focus. Throwing bricks and losing good people to imprisonment only fortifies fascism and weakens our resistance.

So sad that this guy will throw himself out of a window in a couple of weeks' time.
Just like every fucking thing else. Literally nothing will be done about it.
Musk and Thiel were already assholes. Someone just helped them amplify their worse qualities.

Kyiv Insider is a very questionable source. ~~Not~~ Note that they don't even name the FBI agent, when his name would be a matter of public record if he was arrested and bonded out.

If the information can be confirmed can we just go hard on this no matter the optics? Sure, it will be an uphill battle but all the stuff we never litigated because of the bill barr letter is sitting in plain sight.
I don't believe it. Not these guys are good or whatever, but being Russian agents is a stretch. There may be common interest without being an agent of the evil Russian regime. Musk and Thiel are playing for themselves, not for the Russians and if they need to side with them to reach their goal, they will. To some extent, how can we be sure trying to paint them as Moscow's agents isn't the game Putin is playing to destabilize the USA?
Never said anything about them being Russian spies, just that they are being influenced and there is evidence to prove it.
Oh yes. This is all part of Russia masterful campaign to get us to distrust Thiel and Musk. See how dumb that sounds.

The main secret is that Russia doesn't have that many really "secret agents".
They have "ambassador agents" being ignorant of whose identity is better for you, but that identity is not secret in any way.
Just if you are a plebe taking interest, they might simply kill you and the police won't do anything. Or invent something better, gaslighting Stasi-style, if killing is too boring for them.
Musk and Thiel are not the type.
