The system has always been rigged: Western democracy is nothing but a bourgeois dictatorship hidden behind a mirage of pseudo-humanist values.

They’ve learned from Trump that they don’t need to bother trying to hide it

Sadly they’re probably right

It is fascinating to hear Americans banging on about their country being a bastion of Freedom, when they are mostly focused on crushing any dissent to the American way!!! Like all rich people, his rebrand of self-serving manoeuvres as ‘free speech’ is laughable.

I can't believe he's the billionaire that became Trump's weakest lapdog. He must be kicking himself seeing how little it cost Elon to buy the presidency outright.

Agree. UK should have free plural media. Eg not 80% controlled by Rupert Murdoch & his oligarch buddies. UK needs a media reform to ensure free&plural media that serves the people. Societys need for working media, is more important than oligarchs right to own them. Time for media reform.

I now use https://Ecosia.org as my search engine. When you set it up, you can choose to use Bing not Google. Ecosia 'uses 100% of its profits for the planet and produces enough renewable energy to power all searches twice over' as well as planting trees in depleted areas.

I've long said our newspapers are basically billionaire personal blogs.

Right Owen, and let's go back to pretending that MSM was the unvarnished truth.
In America, Free press has always meant that those who have a press are free to speak.

No freedom of speech

Stop buying his shite, simples, he’s a middle man for Chinese goods, that’s all.

Stop using Amazon.

He's also done us a favour in reminding us that Amazon is another company we need to boycott - thereby saving is money and, in a small way, helping the planet.

We don't need the plutocrats. The need all of us. We have more power than we realise, if we act collectively.

I think you're confusing US “democracy” with Western.

These billionaires are like a squad of Rupert Murdochs, it was bad enough when there was just one of those things.

pauljsmith.bsky.social•4 days ago

There is a reason billionaires buy and keep a float loss making media companies and it’s not to be a philanthropist

See Murdoch, Bezos and Musk
