#wealth of tiktok founder

[vague-humanoid]

Hannah doesn’t have to call herself a tradwife because she already is one. As such, Ballerina Farm has become the lodestar for those still aspiring to establish an aesthetically pleasing—and, ideally, monetized—pastoral existence. Most of her acolytes are less subtle about their politics, which they assume Hannah shares. In 2021, Morgan Zegers, the founder of the Turning Point USA-affiliated group Young Americans Against Socialism, said that Ballerina Farm gives her “DAILY inspiration on how to live out my values as a Conservative.” On her podcast, Zegers, who recently got engaged and does not have any children, gives “young unmarried women who dream of becoming a traditional wife and stay-at-home mom one day” advice on how to “become an asset for your future family.”

She is far from the only tradwife-in-training who has been inspired by Ballerina Farm. Take Gwen the Milkmaid, a Canadian “ASMRtist” and wellness-influencer-turned-tradposter. “Pov: you used to be a pro-abortion, anti-marriage, lesbian ‘feminist,’” reads the caption on a TikTok post of her rehydrating sourdough starter, “but now you’re getting married to your fav man on earth, love serving him, and can’t wait to make babies.” Like Hannah, Gwen is blonde, posts videos of herself cooking and frolicking in prairie dresses, and emphasizes the difference between her old life and the new one she has built for herself—or, rather, the life she hopes to have built, someday. In one video, Gwen asks God “why I don’t have a fifty-acre farm, seven children, forty chickens and five jersey cows yet.” Lacking a multimillionaire father-in-law, or a dairy cow of her own, she’s forced to churn store-bought cream into homemade butter. Gwen’s videos turn the subtext of Ballerina Farm’s videos into text, as if to compensate for the ranch she lacks: Gwen is proudly antigovernment, antivaccine, and anti-birth control.

Ballerina Farm has also been frequently boosted by Evie Magazine. Billing itself as the conservative answer to Cosmo, Evie publishes articles on everything from “How to Wear Shorts Like a French Girl” to the supposedly rampant child sex trafficking to which the Biden administration has turned a blind eye. In February, they responded to a minor scandal that broke out when details about the Neelemans’ family wealth began circulating on TikTok. The article ends with a full-throated defense of Ballerina Farm. “Our culture has become far too comfortable with criticizing people for being rich,” it reads. “There’s nothing wrong with having money or coming from money. And there’s certainly nothing wrong with using that money to create a beautiful homesteading life that creates useful food, products, and content for people all across the country.” For Evie, the Neelemans’ secret wealth isn’t proof that living off the land is largely inaccessible to the masses but a symbol of the virtuousness of Ballerina Farm’s mission. They have enough money to live glamorously; instead, they choose to live a simple life. That this simple life might be an expensive illusion is never considered.

A month later, the magazine published a treatise on tradwives by Gina Florio, a personal trainer who moonlights as manager to Candace Owens, a conservative commentator whose BLEXIT foundation urged Black people to abandon the Democratic Party. (Owens has also promoted Ballerina Farm on Instagram. Hannah, for her part, reposted the endorsement and later deleted it.) Like Gwen the Milkmaid, Florio is a reformed liberal who wrote for Teen Vogue and PopSugar before she “left the left.” Tradwives, she argues, are superior to “the shrieking, blue-haired protester who wants on-demand abortion and supports the ‘free the nipple’ movement.” She describes Ballerina Farm as the example on which conservative women should model their lives: “The children are blonde and seemingly well-mannered. The father herds cattle in a cowboy hat. And the mother is impossibly beautiful as she milks cows in her overalls, loose braids, and zero makeup.” This is all in contrast to “the average twenty-five-year-old woman” who “lacks basic domestic skills, serially dates multiple men, and loudly opposes manners and decorum.”

To her credit, Florio acknowledges that it’s functionally impossible for most women—even those who want nothing more than to dedicate their entire lives to caring for a husband and children—to fulfill the tradwife ideal. She points out that real wages have stagnated since the 1970s, making it impossible to raise a family on a single income. “We have to really ask ourselves if we want to truly return to tradition,” Florio writes, “or if we want to just fantasize about the perfect trad wife who is both gorgeous and domestic.”

[longwindedbore]

Maybe it’s time to acknowledge that the Constitution and the Bill of Rights were set up to create an anti-progress political system. A system that insures that a small number of reactionaries can thwart a Liberal majority.

Y’know. Like the USA in 2022.

Time to acknowledge that in 1773 a small group of ‘firebrands of the Revolution’ sparked civil insurrection against a Crown which had begun the first steps to end slavery in 1772. Y’know, dressing up in costumes, rioting because a Liberals were taking power.

Our *History* has omitted mentioning that 1773 to the 1782 the abolitionists (inclusive Libertards!) were a significant factor among the ‘Loyalists’.

[Yes, the Crown’s reaction to the Boston Tea Party was imbecilic. A continuation of ill-thought out laws]

Not a Revolution. But a Secessionin 1776

Just as the illegal white immigrants seeking to expand slavery did in Mexico’s Northern Territory their n 1836 when Mexico banned slavery.

Just as White Racists attempted to spark a war with Spain and seize Cuba for slavery in 1850.

Just as White Racists attempted in Kansas and Missouri with Terrorism in 1856-65.

Just as White Racists attempted to do in 1861-65 after the election of Lincoln.

Just as White a racists have been threatening incessantly since 1865.

The 1776 *Revolution* was led by southern and northern slave owners in conjunction with merchants benefitting directly or indirectly from black slavery, genocidal ‘clearing the wilderness’, and white forced unpaid labor as indentured, apprentices, transported prisoners.

Oligarchs benefitting from forced labor who were terrified that the emancipation of all slaves in England in 1772 would be extended to British North America.

The Founders represented a System in which 10% -20% of the white Protestant males voting due to wealth and religious prerequisites. Y’know, what the GOP anti-voter laws are trying to resurrect.

It’s become painfully obvious we are NOT living in a Republic that reflects the Will of the People. Just that of Economic Oligarchs.

As in 1775, so Today.

Cult 45 is defecating on all that was once was the progress we have painfully inched toward against the inertia of the System. The Cult is violently trying to reclaim *their* Country of Christian Nationalistic limited voting cis-only rights.

Can we continue to ignore that Legal System seems to protect Cult 45’s…

free hate-speech-only from pulpit and podium,

free hate Press from Fox, AM radio and Moscow;

gun ownership-only for Kyle Rittenhouse vigilantism to kill peaceful protestors without consequences (other than grow Rich)

freedom of assembly-only for armed hooded racists driving in black neighborhoods on Election Day or marching through State Capitols if Legislatures DARE to debate progressive policy.

Freedom of Assembly for Progress?

Nope! Peaceful protests for Liberal causes or Unionization are summarily deemed illegal gatherings then the crowd gassed and their eyes shot out.

Freedom of Speech for Progress?

Nope! Corporate owned social media cancels TikTok and Twitter progressives for *offending* Cult 45 but the algorithms direct you to their hate filled platforms.

Freedom of the Press to expose Government corruption?

Nope! Exposure of the crimes of government are prosecuted ruthlessly by both Parties when in power as the equivalent of Treason.

The all-out assault on all non-white, non-cis, non-right wing *Christianity* has used anti-abortion as its tent. A tent that the Cultist *Patriots* are aggressively seeking to expand.

They’ve NEVER had the numbers. That’s the Terror driving them.

Time for a Revolution, not Secession. The NUMBERS are in our favor.

Elon Musk and the CCP: A Forbidden Topic Worthy of Discussion

Many thanks to dear Mr. Dean Baxendale who helped me to edit and polish the text!

It goes without saying that Elon Musk's immense wealth and success are recognized globally. The CCP has long been aware of this and has employed its notoriously effective coercive tactics on him: they approached him, did him significant favors, and then leveraged his business and influential presence to gain an upper hand globally, from economics and politics to ideology, through Elon Musk. Since 2016, young working individuals in China have been coerced into accepting the reality of long working hours, contrary to China's Labor Law. The 996 working schedule (from 9 am to 9 pm, 6 days a week) has become routine.

"https://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/996%E5%B7%A5%E4%BD%9C%E5%88%B6"

Elon Musk quickly adopted this work ethic.

"https://www.bbc.com/news/business-63648505"

After Russia's invasion of Ukraine and the subsequent revelation of the CCP's collusion with Russia, Musk openly supported the Russia-China alliance.

When the CCP threatened Taiwan with military force, Musk publicly sided with the CCP.

“https://twitter.com/MOFA_Taiwan/status/1659189387589226496”

Regarding the significant favor the CCP has done for Musk, even Steve Bannon acknowledged that it was the CCP who funded Musk's acquisition of Twitter, transforming the platform into a mouthpiece for the CCP on numerous critical issues.

"https://twitter.com/amaroseni/status/1590009059742453760"

In 2022, Investopedia reported that Binance, the largest cryptocurrency exchange corporation founded by Chinese-born Canadian Changpeng Zhao, invested $500 million in Musk's Twitter acquisition.

"https://www.investopedia.com/binance-invests-in-twitter-6822895"

Given Binance's origins in China, it's worth noting Desmond Shum's observation and those familiar with China's elite political and economic circles: success in China requires forming beneficial relationships with high-ranking CCP officials and engaging in quid pro quo dealings. Binance has notably partnered with a state-owned enterprise in China, serving the CCP's Belt and Road Initiative.

I would like to emphasize that when a Chinese business becomes big enough to take a role in the CCP's expansion plan like the Belt and Road, the CCP will ensure its control over the business and make every business activity complying with the CCP's agenda.

"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binance"

"https://www.scmp.com/tech/tech-leaders-and-founders/article/3093903/covid-19-net-positive-cryptocurrencies-performance"

In November 2023, Binance's CEO, Changpeng Zhao, pleaded guilty to 13 charges brought by the US SEC.

Another major financier of Musk's Twitter acquisition was Sequoia Capital/红杉资本. Despite its American origins, underestimating the CCP's influence would be a mistake.

"https://techcrunch.com/2022/05/05/sequoia-binance-and-fidelity-back-elon-musks-bid-for-twitter/"

In 2019, Sequoia was acclaimed as the top unicorn investor by the Hurun Research Institute.

"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sequoia_Capital"

Who's Hurun? Rupert Hoogewerf, also known as his Chinese name Hurun/胡润, born in Luxembourg but completed his university education in China. He is an example of how individuals can serve the CCP's global infiltration efforts.

"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rupert_Hoogewerf"

Sequoia Capital's connections to the CCP can be traced back to the 1990s, when Neil Shen/沈南鹏 who later founded Sequoia China met with Wang Xisha, daughter of Wang Yang/汪洋. Wang Yang is former vice premier of China. Building a tie with a high ranking family of the CCP was a good start for Neil Shen. He founded Sequoia China in 2005 and is now a successful businessman in China and a member of the 13th National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference. One of his achievements is Sequoia Capital's investment in ByteDance, Parent company of TikTok which poses a public opinion influence threat in the US.

Interestingly, details of Shen's relationships are more extensively covered in the Mandarin version of his Wikipedia page, possibly to evade Western intelligence surveillance.

"https://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E6%B2%88%E5%8D%97%E9%B9%8F"

On November 23, 2020, Neil Shen gave a speech on the theme of "the Huge Advantages of the Digital Economy Will Appear in the Next Five Years".

"http://www.ccg.org.cn/archives/61477"

Take the highlighted digital economy in his speech, together with Binance's top role in the cryptocurrency industry, it suggests the CCP's interest in leveraging digital currency for global financial dominance. It's not a guess, Di Dongsheng, who serves for China's think tank, made it clear: the goal of the BRIC currency led by the CCP is to take over the US dollar system.

"https://rumble.com/v3kk32v-is-the-ccp-bankrupted-how.html"

Some might question why CCP domination is concerning. Musk himself may have a bitter story to tell. Many of us still remember Musk's enthusiastic participation in the Tesla China-made Model 3 Delivery Ceremony in 2020. China made a big offer to Tesla to open a factory in China, with one condition: all of Tesla's supply chain must be in China.

"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U0sJJU3FaOQ"

4 years after, facing many copycats competitors in China, Elon Musk waked up:

"https://www.cnbc.com/2024/01/25/elon-musk-says-chinese-ev-makers-will-demolish-other-companies.html"

The media interpreted what Elon Musk said as "praise on Chinese EV makers", but Taiwan audience knew how bitter Elon Musk's remark is.

"https://twitter.com/expose_ccp2023V/status/1775535999340159168"

"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=amSFqiWiBH8"

While it's maybe harsh to label Musk as overly influenced by the CCP, it's evident that the CCP's strategies have effectively ensnared him. As a successful businessman, Elon Musk can probably make a deal on anything, or sell anything. The CCP's "Tao-Yang-Sha/套养杀" scam (attract targets with small profit, trap them and finally kill them) is designed for such people.

If you think this is just a strategy of learning from and then surpassing former mentors, you are too kind. Please note that the word that Elon Musk used to describe the intention of the Chinese competitors is "demolish". It corresponds to what Di Dongsheng said about the CCP's strategy: "to destroy the opponent who was once our teacher and friend" (video below from 4:07).

"https://rumble.com/v3kk32v-is-the-ccp-bankrupted-how.html"

Elon Musk recently talked about his concern about the Technological Singularity which is "a time when technological evolution gives rise to the appearance of machines more intelligent than humans."

"https://www.thestreet.com/technology/elon-musk-calls-for-action-against-an-imminent-ai-threat#:~:text=For%20Musk%2C%20CEO%20of%20Tesla,machines%20more%20intelligent%20than%20humans."

The report also mentioned Elon Musk's warning that AI is "potentially more dangerous than nukes".

(The following are my thoughts in my words)

As a former computer engineer, I believe that any software engineering project has a "in case" design to make sure a software product is under control. It's like a backdoor clause that lawyers put in a contract to protect a party's best interests in an exceptional case.

My concern about Elon Musk's remarks on the Technological Singularity and on the AI's potential threats is whether or not he is again sending messages on behalf of the CCP.

Based on my observation on a CCP agent-like circle on the Internet, when the CCP carries out a complex plan, the first step is to spread messages/rumors through influencers who have high credit. These messages/rumors will make people to believe that something will likely and "naturally" happen when instead it is in their premeditation. In order to convince people, the messages are usually based on facts but carefully chosen and processed by "public opinion guides/舆论引导员" with their trained language art.

The first step is so important that the entire operation/warfare depends on it: whether the majority of people can be fooled or not? Will people be led to believe a premeditation as a natural accident/disaster?

The idea of the CCP's military work "Unrestricted Warfare" is to exploit target's existing flaws, loopholes, or bad habits and stage an "natural accident/disaster" but in fact an operation or warfare. There is a lot to learn from COVID19 Pandemic.

Cover Reveal – No Rest For The Wicked

New Post has been published on https://thedigitalinsider.com/cover-reveal-no-rest-for-the-wicked/

Cover Reveal – No Rest For The Wicked

Moon Studios cemented itself as a premier upstart studio thanks to its stellar work on Ori and the Blind Forest and Ori and the Will of the Wisps. The team is parlaying that success and experience to craft a dramatically different project it’s been dreaming about for years: No Rest for the Wicked. This dark fantasy action RPG combines influences from a variety of genres, from ARPGs like Diablo to the difficulty and thoughtful combat of Dark Souls, to the town-building of Animal Crossing, and more.

We traveled to Vienna, Austria, to visit the home (and Moon’s de facto headquarters) of co-founder Thomas Mahler. Joined by Moon’s other co-founder and CEO, Gennadiy Korol, we went hands-on with No Rest for the Wicked and filled 12 pages with our impressions and exclusive details about the game’s town-building and social features, endgame content, and early access roadmap. We also picked the brains of the two figureheads to learn how the project game to be, what to expect, as well as background on Moon’s history. 

Here’s a closer look at this month’s cover. 

Issue 364 also includes other great features, such as an eight-page deep-dive on the video game history of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. 2024 marks the 50th anniversary of Dungeons & Dragons, so we have a retrospective of the role-playing game’s colossal influence on the game industry as told by developers. With the well-received launch of Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, we caught up with Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio head Masayoshi Yokoyama to discuss the game’s themes, the growing international success of the Like a Dragon franchise, and what comes next. The issue also includes previews for upcoming titles like Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, Silent Hill 2, Death Stranding 2: On the Beach, and more. 

You can also try to nab a Game Informer Gold version of the issue. Limited to a numbered print run per issue, this premium version of Game Informer isn’t available for sale. To learn about places where you might be able to get a copy, check out our official Twitter, Facebook, TikTok, Instagram, BlueSky, and Threads accounts and stay tuned for more details in the coming weeks. Click here to read more about Game Informer Gold.

Print subscribers can expect their issues to arrive in the coming weeks. The digital edition launches on March 5 for PC/Mac, iOS, and Google Play. Print copies will be available for purchase in the coming weeks at GameStop.

News:

Farfetch has acquired Yoox-Net-A-Porter. I still associate Farfetch with great selection of clothing, website easy to use, they're quite in touch with the culture of their customer base. Like look at this, which promotion wise crosses over with the new cover of British Vogue about the end of Vogue House in London. They're not looking to be cool (with a focus on youth) but cool enough? They're not SSense, you know?

Today, women in Iceland are on a full day strike for the first time in 48 years. This includes their PM, Katrín Jakobsdóttir.

Despite being considered a global leader on gender equality, topping the 2023 World Economic Forum’s global gender gap rankings for the 14th consecutive year, in some professions Icelandic women are still paid 21% less than men, and more than 40% of women have experienced gender-based or sexual violence.

Thought of the week // We want to know EVERYONE or Seeing Behind The Curtain on social media:

Transparency was a key technique when talking to millennials. And where it receded over the past year with the return of the values of "quiet luxury" (conservatism, individualism, wealth but under the sheets of my lovely bed), social media strategies have changed. It feels like with the style of TikTok "Welcome to my life"-esque videos, brands want to replicate this in a bit more structured way.

The best examples I found are: @Tate _ here and here and here

also Farfetch :)

and the French language news account Brut (Raw, for those who don't parle français) - here is the day in the life of person who owns carnivorous plants and a wine family.

All show this need for staff to be seen as human beings but also engaging with curiosity that most people have. I think most people don't see behind the curtain except for their own job and that's why they also keep commissioning Gregg Wallace to go to those factories where they make stuff for the BBC.

10 reasons why you should write a will ASAP

Nothing is certain whether you are a TikTok influencer with millions of followers or a startup founder on the verge of success. In Singapore, a will is a legally binding document that outlines your ultimate wishes and ensures that your wealth…

Good morning, That is the final time a Forbes Every day e-newsletter written by me will land in your inbox. From right here, I’ll be shifting on to a brand new alternative, and leaving the Every day within the very succesful palms of my colleagues Sarah Whitmire and Caroline Howard. They're going to proceed to convey you an identical content material you crave to jumpstart your day. I’ve so loved beginning the mornings with you this previous yr with the highest enterprise, finance and tech news of the day. Thanks for studying alongside.
