Building China: Oligarchs, Mob Mentality, and the Gaza Real Estate Project
from Cancelling Kimmel, Fired From Riyadh, & The Prison Housing Market | The Tim Dillon Show #462 · #462

A long rant connecting the Kimmel suspension to a broader thesis that both left and right mob mentalities (citing the Covington kids) are being exploited by oligarchs, tying it to U.S. funding of a luxury Gaza real estate rebuild that ordinary Americans never voted for.
- Tim claims oligarchs are building a Chinese-style surveillance state in America while keeping themselves hidden from public scrutiny.
- Mob mentality during the 2020s led to calls for firing, deplatforming, and doxing of people, including minors like the Covington kids who did nothing wrong.
- Tim argues that joining a mob and tearing people down is genuinely enjoyable for humans, and it's one of the few things that gets people excited.
- The cycle of left and right attacking each other eventually allows the government to hand the country over to oligarchs while everyone fights.
- Wealthy oligarchs claim to be guardians of free speech while actually being actors fronting for very rich people who exist on the periphery.
- Tim explains that an autocratic system doesn't come from one angle—people mistakenly think oppression will only silence people they dislike.
- Right-wing support for Israel has collapsed in three years; people under 40 across the spectrum now oppose funding Israel's Gaza real estate development project.
- A 7-Eleven worker earning minimum wage has tax dollars funding luxury condos with floating bathtubs being built in Gaza by real estate developers.
- No one elected Trump so their tax dollars could fund luxury real estate development in Gaza or Qatar, yet criticizing it gets foreign students' visas revoked.
- Whether Kimmel was losing or making money for ABC is irrelevant to the broader censorship issue at hand.
