Welcome To The Era Of Oligarchs | Heather Digby Parton | TMR

Live-streamed on January 17, 2025 Heather Digby Parton, contributing writer at Salon.com and proprietor of the blog Hullabaloo, to round up the week in news. https://twitter.com/digby56?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor https://www.salon.com/writer/heather_digby_parton http://digbysblog.net/ Digby then joins, as she, Sam, and Emma dive right into the devastating wildfires continuing to ravage LA, and the right’s immediate push to politicize the event for all of their culture war BS, targeting Newsome, Bass, and DEI, before shifting to the greater absurdity of blaming people for failing to deal with an issue (climate change) that you refuse even to acknowledge. Expanding on this latter element, Digby tackles how LA is already being set up for Big Tech disaster capitalists to swoop in, diving deep into the setup of Trump’s uber-oligarchy, what Big Tech wants from the relationship, and what makes them distinct from both contemporary and historical oligarch comparisons, wrapping up the show by waxing on the horrors of a Polymarket populist future.
