Summary
Billionaires like Marc Andreessen, Elon Musk, and Vivek Ramaswamy are spreading false claims to discredit the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), a federal agency protecting consumers from fraud and abuse.
Andreessen falsely accused the CFPB of politically motivated “debanking,” despite no evidence.
This rhetoric aligns with the “DOGE” project, led by Musk and Ramaswamy, which aims to slash government regulations and programs under the guise of efficiency.
Critics warn this effort will harm public services, benefit billionaires, and push privatization at the expense of ordinary Americans.
The US Constitution and the Bill of Rights (which, btw, is part of the Constitution, so that’s redundant) are just pieces of paper. The only reason they mean anything is because of the implicit threat of violence/force by the state. It’s literally the way society exists.
No, the papers grant us rights if the government infringe they break the rules we break the rules.
Right, and whoever has more raw power wins. That’s what it really boils down to, that’s real politik. Shitty, but that’s how it is. Because if you don’t participate, the other people will straight up just kill you and take your land.
And who has the most raw power here, the largest (by far) military in the world? Or…? That’s the “natural order” that fascists want. “Might makes right.”
The military is comprised of citizens with rights granted by the same documents. I bet there is a large overlap between US patriots and service members.
