All is well.

Peace.

Do you see Mark Zuckerberg and Peter Thiel as part of the oligarchy?

Is calling them out on what they do being a shill? I think it would be the opposite of a shill.

Glenn has already proven himself with his record and investigative journalism, especially his work with Edward Snowden.

fascist oligarch shill

I am not sure these words have any meaning when they continue to be used so loosely.

We may not agree with him 100% on all topics, but I don’t think there are people you can agree with 100%, unless you are an apologetic or celebrity worshipper and you just blindly follow people.

I see the topic he discusses here as important, and it is directly tied into technology, with Mark and Thiel being the direct tie.

I am interested in learning about the criticism of the analysis and arguments Glenn has made that you disagree with.

Feel free to post people that have brought these topics up as well.

Topics discussed are “transhumanism, AI, and the potential dangers of unchecked billionaire influence.”

A generated summary is included so people understand the basics of what the video is about.

I am not sure how to make it easier for people to understand, sorry.

The people Glenn discusses are part of the oligarchy of the United States; they have great power and influence.

Meta and Palantir are a big part of the United States and companies that collect private data on the populace.

Here you go:

Peter Thiel | German-American entrepreneur and venture capitalist (born 1967)

Peter Andreas Thiel is an American entrepreneur, venture capitalist, and political activist. A co-founder of PayPal, Palantir Technologies, and Founders Fund, he was the first outside investor in Facebook. According to Forbes, as of May 2025, Thiel’s estimated net worth stood at US$20.8 billion, making him the 103rd-richest individual in the world. After graduating from Stanford, Thiel began his career as a clerk for Judge James Larry Edmondson, worked as a securities lawyer at Sullivan & Cromwell, a speechwriter for former U.S. secretary of education William Bennett, and a derivatives trader at Credit Suisse. He founded Thiel Capital Management in 1996 and co-founded PayPal with Max Levchin and Luke Nosek in 1998. He was the chief executive officer of PayPal until its sale to eBay in 2002 for $1.5 billion. Following PayPal, Thiel founded Clarium Capital, a global macro hedge fund based in San Francisco.

Mark Zuckerberg | American Internet entrepreneur

Mark Elliot Zuckerberg is an American businessman who co-founded the social media service Facebook and its parent company Meta Platforms, of which he is the chairman, chief executive officer, and controlling shareholder. Zuckerberg has been the subject of multiple lawsuits regarding the creation and ownership of the website as well as issues such as user privacy. Born in White Plains, New York, Zuckerberg briefly attended Harvard College, where he launched Facebook in February 2004 with his roommates Eduardo Saverin, Andrew McCollum, Dustin Moskovitz and Chris Hughes. Zuckerberg took the company public in May 2012 with majority shares. He became the world’s youngest self-made billionaire in 2008, at age 23, and has consistently ranked among the world’s wealthiest individuals. According to Forbes, Zuckerberg’s estimated net worth stood at US$221.2 billion as of May 2025, making him the second-richest individual in the world.

This post seems to affect you personally, maybe due to the topics it discusses…

All is well; we all get highly emotional on certain topics.

Peace!

Unfortunately, I’ve no confidence in the truth or value of anything produced by Glenn Greenwald.

All is well.

Peace.

Nicely done, thanks for sharing it with us!

Video Description:

“Rock Co.Kane Flow,” featuring MF DOOM, is a highlight from De La Soul’s 2004 album, The Grind Date. The track showcases the group’s signature clever lyrics and innovative production, alongside MF DOOM’s inimitable style.

Produced by Jake One, the song is a sharp critique of mainstream hip-hop, emphasizing De La Soul and DOOM’s commitment to lyrical integrity over industry trends.

The Grind Date itself is celebrated for its lean sound, featuring production from J Dilla, Madlib, and 9th Wonder, and guest appearances from artists like Ghostface Killah, Carl Thomas, and Common.

Lyrics:

1. Up in them five-star tellies and two mic rhymes
2. Be them average MC’s of the times
3. Unlike them, we craft gems
4. So systematically inclined to pen lines
5. Without sayin a producer’s name, all over the track
6. Yeah I said it! What you need to do is get back
7. To reading credits, we them medics
8. Alphabetically stuck on that English
9. And knock it out before we pour
10. That sure shot more rock co.kane flow

–

11. From the top of the key, the 3 Villain
12. Been on in the game as long as you can wheelie your Schwinn
13. Turn the corner spinnin’, bust that ass and get up
14. Dust off the mask, whoever laugh give him a head up
15. He got jumped, it pumped his adrenaline
16. He said it made him tougher than a bump of raw medicine
17. To write all night long, the hourglass is still slow
18. Flow from Hellborn to Free Power like Wilco
19. And still owe bills, pay dues forever
20. Slay huge when it comes to who’s more cleverer
21. Use to wore a leather goose ski with a fur collar
22. Hand charged a fee for loose leaf words for dollar
23. Ya heard? Holla, broad or dude, we leave food
24. Eat your team for sure, the streets sure seem rude
25. For fam like the Partridges, pardon me for the mix-up
26. Battle for your Atari cartridges or put your kicks up
27. It’s a stick up

–

28. Now put your blix up, these Riddick Bowe cuts
29. Is swole like penile flicks, give 'em 20
30. The danger in his eyes’ll let you know he’s a brawler
31. Bring your tallest champs like that much taller
32. Ten pounds heavier, one step ahead of it
33. Vocab, stamina, style’s all irrelevant 34 Camps and cliques, units, squad crews and clans
34. Even your tongues’ll fuck around and leave your mouth

–

36. Doom brung that bum, there goes that news van again
37. Act like you knew like Toucan Sam and 'em
38. He eat rappers like part of a complete breakfast
39. Your rhymes ain’t worth the weight of they cheap necklace
40. String 'em up, bring 'em up under whack junk snack
41. And get that out your hand, punk, jump and get your dunk smacked
42. Foul, we all know the rules bro
43. You slow, you blow the soup on your fools, his Impulse like Yugo

–

44. You go lights, camera, action with no makeup
45. We De La to the death, or at least until we break up
46. Here’s a couple of nice guys who finished first
47. So nice try, but the prize is ours dispersed
48. They say the good die young, so I added some
49. Bad-ass to my flavor to prolong my life over the drum
50. Everyone cools off from bein’ hot
51. It’s about if you can handle bein cold or not!
52. And we was told to hop for no one, it’s what I dig bout Prince Paul
53. We stayed original ever since y’all
54. First to do a lot of things in the game, but the last to say it
55. No need to place it on a scale to weigh it
56. And don’t do it for the plays or to raise the bar
57. Yet it’s raised anyway, it’s so amazing, are
58. The three L.I. brothers from a other way of thinkin’
59. Hey your lady’s winkin’, I think you need to control that aura
60. Or I can hold her

–

61. The elements are airborne, I smell the success
62. (Yo let’s cookie cut the shit and get the gingerbread, man)
63. Sacrifice mics and push drugs to these rappers
64. Puff ponies 'til I turn blue in the lips
65. Sippin broads like 7-Up (ah) so refreshing
66. I think I’ll pop these verse like first dates to birthdates
67. September 2-1, 1-9, 6-8
68. Too old, should I? Too bad, too late

De La Soul Get Animated Foir ‘Rock Co.Kane Flow’ Video [07-03-2025 | antimusic.com]

(Jensen) Platinum-selling, GRAMMY Award-winning hip-hop icons De La Soul today release the brand-new visual for “Rock Co.Kane Flow” catapulting viewers into a bold, otherworldly universe where lyrical warfare meets sci-fi action.

In this reimagined, animated world, created by Matt Hutchings of Matt Hutchings Films, De La Soul members Posdnuos, Maseo, Trugoy The Dove and MF DOOM take on the roles of unstoppable superheroes, rising up to battle an alien invasion that symbolizes other MCs-those who lack the lyrical depth, authenticity, resilience, originality, and creative chemistry that De La and DOOM embody.

What unfolds is a visually striking battle of worlds: iconic hip-hop artistry versus hollow imitation. The superheroes repel the invasion with skill and spirit, ultimately emerging victorious and reaffirming their place in hip-hop’s pantheon.

Just like the track itself, which can be found on the 20th anniversary re-release of the group’s seminal album The Grind Date (BMG), the video is a powerful statement-celebrating collaboration, creative integrity, and unmatched lyrical mastery. It’s not just a fight scene-it’s a declaration: these superheroes of sound can’t be touched.

“With this project, we knew we wanted to create something special. Posdnuos had a clear vision of the vibe and comedic tone of the video, looking to recreate the group’s look during The Grind Date’s release back in 2004 (with a wrestling superhero twist),” says Hutchings. “We knew we didn’t want to go down the road of AI and Deepfaking, instead opting to create fully animated versions of all the characters, no small undertaking. We took influence from various superhero films and media, and drew upon hours of classic wrestling footage for reference. After months of animating, rendering and complex visual effects work, we were finally able to bring De La Soul & MF DOOM to the big screen just as they were in 2004.”

To commemorate the 20th anniversary of De La Soul’s seventh studio album, The Grind Date, BMG released a special package of the original album on vinyl and CD including bonus tracks and instrumental versions.

The Grind Date, originally released in 2004, showcases the groups signature blend of clever lyrics, innovative production, and a mix of playful and introspective themes including a plethora of featured artists such as MF DOOM, Ghostface Killah, Carl Thomas and Common.^[1]

Edit:

1. Lyrics Spacing, format

We all get emotional on certain topics; it is understandable.

All is well, peace.

Check out Highlights section.

Only five points.

Political tribalism works.

We must stop falling for the divide and conquer strategies of the duopoly (lackeys of the oligarchs).

“I would unite with anybody to do right and with nobody to do wrong.” – Frederick Douglass

Instead of fighting over political leanings, try to hear what their arguments are and see where you agree.

This will help us be willing to discuss and unify all working-class people on what views we share instead of just focusing on what we don’t agree on.

TLDW to TLDR…

A generated summary is included in the body.

I can’t help you more than that; I thought I made it easy enough to know what the video is a bit about.

Random thought I was reminded of:

You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make it drink

I don’t agree with the way they think; it must be a boogeyman (bots, puppets, troll).

Self-built echo chambers and self-censorship are not healthy; we must be willing to continue learning from those that don’t think like we do.

Peace.

Edit:

1. Words, there -> it; added (bots, puppets, troll).

You do know what being on a platform is?

YouTube is another platform where deals are made with creators.

Nice try with your propaganda, though.

Peace.

Thanks for the chat and th information you provided!

I see him as a comedian with populist opinions and rants.

Feel free to post critical videos on the JD community; all are welcome.

Don’t forget to have higher standards for politicians than for comedians.

The politicians (lackeys of oligarchs) are the ones with real power and influence to change our society for better or mostly for the worst.

All is well, peace.

I thought Glenn worked for Theil, is this video one of his slimy tricks? He said only elites fear Trump. That Bannon was a socialist. Even pretended to care about Palestinians, who are now being erased from existence.

Those just seem like smears from the duopoly (oligarch lackeys) loving apologetics (celebrity worshipper).

I wont watch the video. I have heard all I need to from that man.

The whole post and reason for it is about the video…

Weird people on forums hahaha.

I guess your reason for commenting on the post about a Glenn video is just to show how much you disagree with the way he thinks instead of your way of thinking.

All is well, thanks for commenting your disdain, peace.

Edit:

1. Words, apoliticals to apologetics (celebrity worshipper)

I am just showing everyone how of full of shit you are.

Yes, it seems that is the goal of many on forums.

Here is my mantra I try to uphold:

“We should focus our actions, time, and resources on Direct Action, Mutual Aid, and Community Outreach… No War but Class War!”

All is well, thanks for the small chat; peace!

I am done here.

Thanks for the small chat!

We all get emotional; it is understandable. I hope we can unite on other topics.

Like fixing the systematic economic problem our societies face, that would be great.

All is well, Peace.

Nice try, but that won’t work with me.

Again with the desperate gatekeeping.

I will state again:

Ah, you also like to use Douglas Murray’s desperate attempts at gatekeeping what people can and can’t talk about.

I have not been to Palestine, nor do I speak Arabic, but I fully support the Palestinian people, and I know what my country is doing is fully supporting a genocide.

I don’t need to visit a certain country or speak any language to be able to see what is really going on.

More forever wars where the working class is sent to die while the oligarchs sit back and take all the important resources.

Having misspellings and typos is your concern…

Weird, but you do you.

FYI: You also edited your comment, but you did not mention the edit…

Also, being exposed to only Western propaganda is not the honor you seem to believe it is.

We can all come to certain conclusions without needing (your preferred boogeyman) making us a puppet, bot, or brainwashed.

Just check out the Uhuru movement:
