Imagine being so rich that you can buy the Washington Post just to shut it down in order to curry favor with a dictator and his regime.

@HamonWry In some alternate universe, Bezos could've leveraged his wealth and Amazon infrastructure to take Trump down and be seen as a hero in the eyes of many.

Or he could've usurped Trump and become a worse dictator.

@HamonWry That’s it in a nutshell!

@HamonWry Or Twitter. Just to make the Saudi royals happy with their own money. And finally destroy the thread that ran through the Arab Spring.

@HamonWry Imagine knowing that about Bezos and not cancelling your subscription to the Post or to Amazon Prime.

What is it about people that causes them to continue to subsidize a billionaire(s) dead set on ending life as we know it?

The same is true for all the regular type people who maintain an account on Twitter (X) so they can "see what's happening over there."

There is a subset of our society perfectly ok with being complicit either by financial support or by spreading the propaganda.
