KMFDMs latest album cover is spot on: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enemy_(KMFDM_album) (Judging from the lyrics, there’s a reason they went with orange.)

Which is ironic because Rae Kushner - his grandmother - is a legend. She has gone through some things. Now her grandson is wrecking Europe. https://www.npr.org/2018/05/04/560224531/trump-stories-kushn...
Present America is real estate developers all the way down.

#116Half of Albania is butchered like this, beaches and green being destroyed to make resorts for the tourists to come. Go see Dermi or Vuno and then go see Borsh how clean it is, with no excavations at all or resorts being build.
Don't forget that resorts et al typically belong to international capital, and the tourists rarely leave the premises. So what does the local economy get out of it? A few maids salary to clean up the tourist's shit?
Same goes for any natural resource. Oil, precious metals, water, etc. Globalization feeds this behavior, but that’s a conversation people don’t usually want to have

#117The rich are getting too openly greedy and complacent again, they're slowly forgetting about history, can't wait to see how it pans out in the next decades. https://www.prosperosisle.org/spip.php?article1196
Then again, may be they already figured out how to make their lives meaningfully longer. I often think what drives 80 year old Bidens and Trumps to live the stressful POTUS life.
And I can think of only one incentive. Weird thoughts, but otherwise the dots just don't connect.

This kind of talk used to be a lot more common in our grandparents' time. It's sad to see the best and the brightest of our times going back to it.
Our grandparents were right, and right to say this.
Which I don't think is the intent of anybody in this thread. We're just talking about them being privileged and rich.
I do think it's important to avoid accidental or deliberate anti-Semitism when talking here though. Epstein and Kushner being Jewish has zero to do with their vileness, but for a segment of the population it's all too easy to unconsciously (or worse, consciously) make a linkage between old vile anti-Semitic conspiracy theories about Rothschilds or whatever.

That Ivanka podcast interview about this island will go down as a masterpiece in tone-deafness. I assume there are already memes of it.
