I’m an elderly lefty, living in South West England who’s looking for a nice place in the fediverse where I can share/ learn/ politely disagree etc with others & (occasionally) vent my frustrations & concerns about the parlous state of the world that my grandkids are growing up in! When I’m not “doom scrolling” I enjoy gardening, bird watching, bread baking & being the best granddad I can be.

“The Ellison family’s rapid consolidation of media power under Trump has transformed major Western outlets into vehicles for pro-‘Israel’ propaganda. This shift is part of a broader system in which concentrated capital, political access, and Zionist networks reshape public discourse while narrowing real debate”

“A recent report from think tank Transnational Institute, called ‘Mapping Fascism: Global networks, power, and the rise of the far right,’ shows how a handful of ultra-wealthy individuals with far-right affiliations have systematically acquired newspapers, television networks, and digital platforms across multiple countries — concentrating media ownership to a degree that shapes public debate”

“A nation ignorant of the equal benefits of liberty and law, must be awed by the flashes of arbitrary power: the cruelty of a despot will assume the character of justice; his profusion, of liberality; his obstinacy, of firmness” — Edward Gibbon (who wrote ‘The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire’)

%Billionaires Gone Wild
A few stories about centibillionaires — men whose net worth exceeds $100 billion — and their role in our society:
· In 2022 Elon #Musk, the richest man in the world, purchased Twitter. Since then he has turned the platform into a racist cesspool, overrun by literal Nazis.
· Last year #Skydance Media, run by #DavidEllison — the son of #LarryEllison, the world’s 6th richest man — acquired #Paramount, which includes #CBS. The new management put #BariWeiss, a conservative pundit with no relevant experience, in charge of CBS News.
