Wonkette: Tech Bazillionaire Tom Perkins Warns Of New Holocaust: People Complaining About Google Buses
Meet Tom Perkins. He is an uber-gazillionaire tech dude who once killed a man with his yacht. But that’s just an interesting footnote to his biography. See, Tom Perkins is apparently hiding in an attic in San Francisco just like Anne Frank, where he was somehow able to smuggle out this secret diary entry to the Wall Street Journal to warn of the coming Holocaust:


Writing from the epicenter of progressive thought, San Francisco, I would call attention to the parallels of fascist Nazi Germany to its war on its “one percent,” namely its Jews, to the progressive war on the American one percent, namely the “rich.”

In case you’re thinking that sounds a tad hyperbolic, rest assured, Perkins has EVIDENCE that the progressive war on wealth inequality is pretty much exactly like Nazi Germany:

There is outraged public reaction to the Google buses carrying technology workers from the city to the peninsula high-tech companies which employ them. We have outrage over the rising real-estate prices which these “techno geeks” can pay. We have, for example, libelous and cruel attacks in the Chronicle on our number-one celebrity, the author Danielle Steel, alleging that she is a “snob” despite the millions she has spent on our city’s homeless and mentally ill over the past decades.

Every child who learned about the Holocaust in school certainly remembers when Hitler wrote all those mean words about hack romance novelists. And while we often think the Nazis started by forcing women to take slut pills and rounding up all the guns, in FACT, it really started when some hippies in drum circles were all, like, “Damn, how come the people who broke our economy get to keep all their monies while we are starving and unemployed? That is unfair, and now we shall chant about it.”

But it’s not like Perkins says the Bay Area is being Holocausted by protesters as we speak. He’s just asking questions:

This is a very dangerous drift in our American thinking. Kristallnacht was unthinkable in 1930; is its descendent “progressive” radicalism unthinkable now?

Yes, that’s a great question, Tom. Is it so unthinkable that cruel attacks on “techno geeks” in the local newspaper might lead to all of Silicon Valley being set on fire, 30,000 tech bros arrested, at least 91 slaughtered, and eventually, the rounding up 6 million little busy bees at Google and Facebook and Apple and forcing them into ovens?

1. Yeah, ommm...Mr. Perkins, when those Google buses get diverted to a prison camp where the

Google employees are forced to work at gunpoint until they die of starvation or disease, then we can talk. Until then it's not Kristallnacht, it's a protest.

4. Yes, I do want to eliminate uber-wealthy assholes like him.

But not by shipping them off to slave or extermination camps, but with steeply progressive wealth and income taxes.

It doesn't bother me when talented people are very comfortably wealthy, but nobody should be a billionaire when children are hungry, people are homeless, or working for less-than-living wages.
