Broligarchy does not build civilization

As a Western Europe based, peace loving, tolerant, introvert software dev I&#x27;m highly worried by what&#x27;s happening in the world but at the same time feel totally powerless (I admit to be - for now - selfish enough to not be willing to jeopardise my family and career above this worry).<p>The frustrating thing is that there must be so many &#x27;of us&#x27; and I can&#x27;t help but think &#x27;we&#x27; should organize. Not sure if this (blog) could be a starting point for that?

The post doesn&#x27;t make specific claims but as a non-American observer (and without taking a position here) the major changes planned&#x2F;in progress seem to be DOGE, deportations and tariffs. The proponents claim all of these are for the benefit of working-class Americans and not the elites.<p>Without addressing that it&#x27;s hard to see what this post actually adds to the conversation. It makes vague assertions against parties unnamed that Business is not the Way to Run a Civilisation. Those that see a clear and urgent need to reduce spending, immigration and globalisation will not be moved one iota by this because it will not make sense to them. They believe they are already saving civilisation.

I think the pattern leading up to this situation anywhere in the world is the accumulation of power.<p>A society that is able to spread power as much as possible is more resilient in the long run.<p>How to maintain a wide spread dispersion of power? I have no idea.

&gt; It may feel like we have more freedom if some of us are successful. But that&#x27;s a myopic view. We are not free. It is more like an addiction. Genuine freedom can happen only if it is available to everyone.<p>&gt;If we truly are to be a society of people who live on this planet together – a civilization - we must take care of each other.<p>Sublimated trotskyism on full display.

I&#x27;m not even really seeing the short term gains here. It seems like despite making grandiose claims, the administration and the &quot;broligarchs&quot; are relying on cheap political wins (&quot;owning the libs&#x2F;woke&quot;) to placate their base in place of even pretending to accomplish anything that helps their constituents. This honestly surprised me. I&#x27;m not a fan of the MAGA set but I genuinely expected there to be some upsides here and not just an immediate private equity style looting frenzy

Most of human history has entirely been driven by broligarcy.

The reads like some AI broth broken out by Brosidon, King of the Brocean.

It would be nice to declassify vaccination trials data. Perhaps this &quot;broligarchy&quot; could take a spin on them. Old guards and their &quot;zero evidence of lab leak&quot; is very old.
