There’s a German novel called “NSA - Nationales Sicherheitsamt” (which is a literal translation of the US National Security Agency to German).
The plot is an alternative history in which the Nazis had some of today’s tech (read computers, internet, databases), although quite “ancient” and not with the full potential unlocked, that we have today. Then an analyst realizes, what one can do with this tech and that her queries endanger her friends more and more.
Yeah, but that novel assumes, that they also had internet, electronic cash, mobile phones, etc. so you get the modern tracking possibilities combined with the literal Nazis. They just weren’t really proficient in using that, but that changes through out the story.
Who’s going to fund the billionaires? They need a lot of money to keep themselves rich? You think they hoard because they are capitalists? They’re paycheck to paycheck. You should all be ashamed disregarding the cannibalism route as a solution.
I believe it’s only done to blame others, if there’ll be a democratic government in the next decade they’ll point and jeer “Look at how many pandemic, medical and environmental deaths there are now, while under maga we had none!”
They’ll also claim that under maga’s light rules and regulations the economy did better, cheaper cars because they can “pollute” more, cheaper food because of less restrictions on added chemicals etc.
It’s always been to shift responsibility for negative effects forward.

It’s more insidious than that. Imagine the next democratic government inheriting this mess. They re-open science, education, and oversight departments, who discover shock that things are really bad. MAGA will say, “See, things are bad under YOUR leadership! Can’t blame us!”.
Closing your eyes and ignoring a problem like it doesn’t exist is something that children, and Republicans, seem to do an awful lot!
Can’t have hurricanes if you aren’t monitoring them!
Can’t have COVID deaths if you stop counting!
Can’t have Government corruption if you terminate any oversight!

Honest question, will they ever have an epiphany? Florida having no warnings for hurricanes seems like it’s going to be an issue that affects them.

They did have computers back then. ibm helped them right out, just like modern tech is helping the nazis now.

They will never blame the people they should blame.
Don’t forget actual laws passing in poorly educated state legislatures banning “chem trails” 🤦

A skillfully utilized Sharpie will be our only hope moving forward
