How are these billionaires going to get people to enroll when they want all of the elementary school children to work in factories for slave labor?

janegi.bsky.social•79 days ago

Don't you like how the Billionaire Class dosen't want you to wake up!

2/ This reminds me of the whole “parallel establishment” movement. 👇 https://bsky.app/profile/jennycohn.bsky.social/post/3lc4wwzofo22v

So crime capitols within states?

3/ UATX’s donors also include Joe Lonsdale, “the cofounder of analytics giant Palantir, whose work with police departments and immigration authorities has sparked an outcry among progressives.” Inside the University of Austin, America’s new ‘anti-woke’ college https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/news/content/ar-BB1qX4y1?ocid=sapphireappshare

Curious, seen Joe Lonsdale's name before w this kind of thing, and I'm wondering about Alex Karp the other co-founder who's still very actively involved w Palantir. Does he have similar orientation?

wizzyprobs.bsky.social•79 days ago

Just a grift all the way down. Lol.

paulginva.bsky.social•79 days ago

Remember when ultra-wealthy people just built public libraries, galleries, and museums as monuments to themselves? This is all getting out of hand.

cannabanana.bsky.social•79 days ago

That's the difference between the ultra-wealthy and the absurdly wealthy.

the morphing of perc dot org .. 40+ years of formally stating their plans to manage OUR public resources as private entities

we see enclaves of separatists- characterized as white power crazies in secluded regions.

Now, another approach by going the in your face $$$ angle for their Utopia.

portablerockart.bsky.social•79 days ago

The rent-seekers will be coming out of the woodwork like termites.

supersonie.bsky.social•79 days ago

These tech people see themselves as so important in the world. Really they are just destroyers of a peaceful world.

seanstewart.bsky.social•79 days ago

Can’t wait for the “network state” to get completely blown asunder by the soccer moms and dads in the local Planning and Zoning commission.

onenonjohn.bsky.social•79 days ago

Exactly how does one teach this curriculum... Train people to be subservient and NOT to use their head? Indoctrination much? Coming from the same people who piss and moan to not tread on them!!! Outstanding

lmgeno.bsky.social•79 days ago

At this point, these B$$$ are just playing around with the future of our country with their $$firewall .

They just might come to regret it when they can’t leave home/s without massive security.

greenhombre.bsky.social•79 days ago

Some old white dudes never get over being called racist by their grandkids at Thanksgiving.

votingrights.bsky.social•79 days ago

When you’re a billionaire, you can do whatever you want, including a university that apparently isn’t going to be concerned with people who have different backgrounds (like not white and male).

elaineavila605.bsky.social•79 days ago

It's concerning to see wealthy donors influencing education with a clear agenda. Claiming "anti-woke" is a thinly veiled attempt to suppress free thought and critical thinking.

lmgeno.bsky.social•79 days ago

….in a nutshell 🎯

nancylevinestearns.bsky.social•79 days ago

Bari Weiss founded this fake university. https://www.austinmonthly.com/how-the-so-called-university-of-austin-is-faring-nearly-two-years-after-conception/

cckitty.bsky.social•79 days ago

They “vary in political ideology”. Suuuuuure.

unawarewolf.bsky.social•79 days ago

Don't they already have PragerU? Maybe they should call it Trump University! Never mind, bad mojo. These are the fucks that scream about indoctrination all the time.

lpm64.bsky.social•79 days ago

Still unaccredited since inception

thenonameleague.bsky.social•79 days ago

holy crap!
The IDW grifters actually got their shit together enough to actually pull off the actual UATX!?!

Kudos for turning what looked like an obvious joke into a physical diploma mill.

Removing Epstein-connected board members, but getting input from Musk-companies seems like a lateral move.
…

thenonameleague.bsky.social•79 days ago

…nevermind.
Larry Summers is still there.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Just a reminder: Len Blavatnik owns Warner Music, which includes the labels Warner (Bros.), Reprise, Sire, Nonesuch, Elektra, Asylum, Atlantic, Atco, Parlophone, Rhino, Erato, and many others.

Sigh

boulderdaisy.bsky.social•79 days ago

These billionaires are going to cause an uprising

alycearmstrong.bsky.social•79 days ago

Billionaire Harlan Crow has been using his wealth to destroy democracy from the inside the supreme court and apparently every else where he can think of.

It's like crypto bros getting rug pulled.

fishyfish479.bsky.social•79 days ago

Texas version of Liberty University, heavy on racism, White Supremacy and Nazi lovers. Maybe Mexico needs to reclaim Texas.

txcanishley.bsky.social•79 days ago

TX GOP extremists have intentionally created a horrifically corruption-infested Christofascist corporate kingdom at the expense of EVERYTHING else. Education, health care, environment, natural resources, labor conditions, billions wasted on fantasy “border war.” It is horrendous.
