@benroyce What if anything distinguishes this from the 1920s and 30s? The scale of wealth? @privateblack @FediThing @evedazzle

@benroyce What if anything distinguishes this from the 1920s and 30s? The scale of wealth? @privateblack @FediThing @evedazzle
As far as I can tell, almost all of Graber's career has been at blockchain companies:
2015 - Graber began working as a software engineer for SkuChain. She then worked in a factory in Moses Lake, Washington, where she soldered bitcoin mining equipment.
2016 - She began working as a junior developer for the Zcash cryptocurrency.
2019 - She founded the event planning website Happening, Inc (can't find any info at all on this, is it blockchain?)
2021 - CEO of Bluesky
2024 - Bluesky partially sells itself to the company Blockchain Capital
@benroyce @FediThing @evedazzle I bet Jay sold to Dorsey it is about fucking money....
@privateblack @FediThing @evedazzle
it's actually worse
Dorsey abandoned Bluesky and went full support of Elon Musk when Elon bought Twitter, he even deleted his account on Bluesky
so you are right, it is about the money, but in an even worse way than you surmise
@benroyce @privateblack @FediThing @evedazzle It's as if the mask came off because it became acceptable to be evil. How nuts is that. Before, the wealthy did philanthropy to hide their extreme wealth or get the pitchforks.

carnegie was a plutocrat piece of shit
then he built libraries
musk is a plutocrat piece of shit
then he did nazi salutes
when we depend upon the idea of billionaires becoming angels we are tricked fools. that a few might doesn't mean shit
why do we trust them? they should simply not exist in the first place
the problems they create and then some of them try to solve would be better served by not having them create problems in the first place
@benroyce @FediThing @evedazzle I am curious what is worse than money? I just want to know what they did do deep dark hole? I not understand why they had to do... I wish they leave us alone!!!

plutocrats figured out bigots are willing political supporters if the plutocrats' politician lackeys and the media they control panders to hate
bigots figured out... nothing. they are robbed by plutocrats. but they don't care as long as the people they hate suffer more than they do
(and then of course there are plutocrats who are also bigots, the examples are obvious)
this plutocrat-bigot axis is what is giving us #fascism and destroying #democracy
@benroyce @FediThing @evedazzle Maybe they don't care, or are sympathetic to crypto themselves.
@ozzelot @FediThing @evedazzle
the whole " #bluesky is #decentralized" is straight #cryptobro cult sales speak
the way #crypto works is it gets devotion based on effusive glowing promises, then never delivers
it's a hack of human psychology
you get feverish praise and acclaim
based on promises that are always tomorrow
never reality today
bluesky is not decentralized
it's #centralized shit
but if you say this truth the most feverish cult nutcases come out of the woodwork to argue with you
@FediThing How did she get the BlueSky gig? @evedazzle @benroyce
