Thanks for posting this.

(This piece is one reason why I still have Facebook)


I looked up the author, Oliver Kornetzke, and found this (part of a) Facebook post of his from April 9, 2025:

"..about the ghoulish shadow-puppets behind Trump's circus: Thiel, Musk, Yarvin, Miller, the rest of the vampiric think-tank creeps pulling strings behind the curtain.
...These people aren't gods. They're not immortal. They're not anointed by divine right, and they sure as hell aren't infallible. They bleed like anyone else. They cry when they lose power. And they can be stripped of it just as easily as they were gifted it -- because every inch of control they have is built on what we let them get away with.
They're not rulers. They're parasites dressed in suits, propped up by public relations puppets like Yarvin's sycophants and Thiel's pet politicians.
...you and millions of other decent people -- people with jobs, families, lives, and a conscience -- have more power than any of these ghouls will ever admit.
And the moment you decide you're done playing along, the whole damn thing starts to fall apart.
That's why I don't just advocate for resistance -- I advocate for non-violent, relentless noncompliance. Not just tweeting disapproval. Not just yelling into the void. But standing up in the real world and saying: 'No, I will not comply. I will not assist. I will not cooperate with this grotesque theater of cruelty.'
Because power only exists where it's obeyed. And when millions refuse to play their part, the whole system collapses under its own inflated ego.
So yeah, they've done damage. They'll do more before they're done. But they're not untouchable. They're not immortal. They're not gods.
They're just assholes with a platform. And platforms can be kicked out from under them."
