Their holy grail is to be able to kill you because they don’t like the look of you, and be rewarded for it.

I think you’ve misunderstood where the person you’re talking to is coming from.

I don’t think kompromat is necessary. These are power-hungry and attention-hungry people. They’ll say and do whatever panders to the people who will pay attention to them in the moment. J K Rowling didn’t need to be blackmailed to go from saying she supported transgender rights to becoming one of the Internet’s worst purveyors of trans-hate. Many other “influencers” have gone the same route, including a few who are trans themselves. (Matt Bernstein has some good videos about these people.) Overt transphobia is a thing you can do to score cheap points with ignorant people and get attention, approval and money. There’s enough motivation there for a certain kind of character, with no need for blackmail.

It manages at once to be a kakistocracy, an oligopoly, a plutocracy and a kleptocracy - which makes sense since the very worst people are the few ultra-rich guys who scrambled to the top by stealing from everyone else.

This guy deserves only ridicule for his idiotically simplistic understanding of the world and how to improve it. Yet the fascist techbro billionaires are fawning over him. They’re a bunch of fools who never grew up.

I guess her crime was to try to employ more people who weren’t cishet white men. Unforgivable to the fascists in charge. And anyway, they just get off on cruelty because it distracts them from the emptiness inside.

Yep. He reformed his image after everyone called him Milhouse. Now he tries to be a swaggering big man. Still no actual policies to help people though. He’s more about the complaining and hurting people who are already hurting. See also: Republicans.
