‘CEO whisperer’ says US tycoons are privately anxious of Trump’s ‘Maoist’ leadership
The solution is of course to suck his dick even harder.
We allowed greed above all to be the fundamental basis of our economic system. Obviously, the most immoral of all criminals, sociopaths, and psychopaths prospered.
Now, most of our business and political leadership lack any virtues whatsoever. Everything and everyone can be sacrificed, as long as it's for profit.
US "preacher":
Ok I can see a comparison to the cultural revolution, especially with the attacks against academics. But the landlord president is most certainly not a maoist
He's definitely not ideologically a maoist (partially because he has no ideology beyond power and narcissism), but personality wise he shares a tendency to reject expertise, believe he knows best, and cause disasters out of stubborn narcissistic stupidity.
Although his death count is still 1/50 of that of Mao.
Tycoons looked at a dude with a terrible business record who's first term in office was a dumpster fire, and was clearly suffering from dementia on top of not being very bright to begin with and said "Yes, we want more of that"
They know that Trump is an idiot. But they know they can take advantage of an idiot. It's working for them. It worked when Bush was in office. It worked when Reagan was in Office and the other Bush.
I think that only applies to a couple of them like Peter Thiel and Musk. For others, it's been a neutral or negative experience and bound to get worse.
That was the hope at least
They just were supporting both sides without paying attention.
What a bunch of greed oriented pussies! They got us into this mess and skulk away instead of helping to fix it.
"Maoist"? lol
So, is Trump gonna order executions of landlords now?
Media really trying to get that red scare stuff to get people to dislike Trump. You got this and then there's Harris calling Trump a commie.
The problem being that for many people (including my own ex, apparently, both to my and my kid's utter shock), authoritarianism and communism/socialism are synonyms. For those folks who got fed the propaganda and had no real reason or desire to question it, that's the characterization that works the best to communicate the threat.
For reference, an actual conversation:
"Man, Trump is going to make the U.S. a full-blown communist country"
[Me and Kid: Mouth agape, silence for about 5 seconds]: "I'm sorry, WHAT?"
"Yeah, you know, communist, like Russia was with Stalin".
"...do you not know what communism is?"
"Yes, it's when there's an authoritarian dictator."
"No, that's authoritarianism."
"Oh. I've never heard of that before."
If they make them into communists then they can beat them and continue doing capitalism instead of admitting that conservative ideologies are all backwards nonsense that have never been proven to work outside of interactions made up by people who are consistently wrong about everything.
If that happens he has my utmost support. I would buy 5 overpriced maga huts in a heartbeat
They're trying EVERYTHING to avoid Nazi comparisons.
Well yeah, sure, except they keep supporting him. So their concern means jack shit, quite obviously.
I'm fucking tired of these insider anonymites wringing their hands and nothing changing, just shut the fuck up or be fully transparent with this. Take a meaningful stand and stop ass-covering so you can say I was against this the whole time when everything collapses.
How are Western oligarchs so good at seeing something bad happen and concluding this is not us, this is what people from there do!
No its you. Learn to introspect..
Americans: Americanly do something american
Famed Yale Business Guru: What are we, a bunch of Chinamen?
If the top 25 CEOs came out and said "We are going on general strike until Trump is impeached"
This is probably 8 to 15 million American households.
No, its 25 americans.
They paid for it. Do they have buyers remorse already? It'd be a good thing if the resulting shitstorm consumes them all.
CEO Whisperer sounds like the tagline of someone in !linkedinlunatics@sh.itjust.works
It's a real thing, CEOs can get really anxious in their stalls at night, sometimes they will panic and cause the other CEOs to start panicking too. Someone has to go rub their legs and brush them out to calm them or they can hurt themselves.
I initially read this as 'Moist' leadership, which sounds worse.
Lots of skyscrapers with windows in America... would be a shame if someone fell out of one.
any butthole would hurt too with that much bending over
American here. You know how we have Florida Man? Maybe we, and the world, need to start calling these idiots America Man.
Oh, fascism rounding up people with different opinions? Must be America Man.
CEOs don’t like the leadership but continue to support them to spite their face? Must be America Man.
Mourning a YouTuber’s death who did not like LGBTQ and then came together and crashed an LGBTQ app? Must be American Man again.
No, at the end of the day, we can't cede America to the Fascists. The things America stands for are generally lies, but they don't have to be. We at least have to aspire to higher values, or we'll have no direction when this whole thing comes crashing down
"Moaist"... I mean he is autocratic and anti-intellectual, but... there seem to be a few other aspects missing in this connection.
I'm not sure Mao was anti-intellectual... The Great Leap Forward was meant to industrialize China in a short period of time, and to do that, he thought he needed to force a bunch of intellectuals to start farming and shit.
Pol Pot was 100% anti-intellectual
Yeah, for one thing, Mao was literate.
Mao Sow Dumb.
The professional slumlord is in no way Maoist, hes kinda the antithesis of it.
Also they did the meme . . . again
