Like I said, a lot in common with #SocialDarwinism in this respect.
Giving little or no value to "unworthy lives" is very much in line with #Fascism, in particular of the type practiced by the #ThirdReich.
Ad extremis, some important #Longtermists would even go as far as annihilating 3 billion people to achieve the end of making humanity a "multi-planetary species:" 3)
What we are seeing is just the beginning.

(3/n) ...grip on global communications and his wealth that dwarfs that of many countries. No, I am talking about #ElonMusk's mental health and about his crazy beliefs based in #Longtermism, part of #TESCREAL.Mastodon

Alas, for this iteration of #fascism, #Longtermism, part of the #TESCREAL group 1), it does make twisted sense: "loosers' lives are not worth keeping.
"Feeding the poor," or "vaccinating the masses" cost huge amounts of money that are then not available for tax cuts for the filthy rich and the central "colonize #Mars" goals...

#HandsOff protests: did any media report how many protesters there were in the US? When we have these in France they are always obsessed by the size buy I can't seem to find an estimation for these ones..
Edit: someone send this #NewYorkTimes article which does a relatively good job of describing the diversity of problems that people protested against, but it doesn't really give an attendance estimate, only the number of people who signed up to participate which was 600 000.

Anti-Trump Protests Get Underway Across the Country
Demonstrators packed the streets in cities and towns to rail against government cutbacks, financial turmoil and what they viewed as attacks on democracy.Shaila Dewan (The New York Times)
I see that an Australian economist shares @pluralistic 's idea that a suitable reaction to the #TrumpTariffs is to weaken IP laws benefitting US corporations.

Mr. Doctorow suggests cancelling legal penalties protecting DRM; Prof. Gross favours weakening patent protection of American pharmaceutical companies.
Unlike counter-vailing tariffs, these are measures that would hurt US business and benefit other countries.

I haven't been able to get an offical estimate of the crowd at #HandsOff #Sacramento today. But I'm guessing appx 40,000 people?
🇺🇸 I'm surprised to see a republican #US president talking or joking about a third term. Wouldn't the necessary constitutional change directly challenge the #conservative principles of their voter base?
Isn't this something #democrats & #republicans would agree on? 🤷

Can Trump serve a third term as US president?
Donald Trump says "a lot of people want me to do it" and supporters claim there's a loophole to the two-term constitutional limit.Graeme Baker (BBC News)
You're on the French news in Quebec my American friends!
Keep fighting and shouting until the whole world and your own President hear you! 📢✊
We are rooting for your victory!💚
