DARK GOTHIC MAGA: How Tech Billionaires Plan to Destroy America

This youtuber lays out what is going on with Elon Musk based on the work of independent journalist Gil Duran.

The tech billionaires are not actually Republicans; they just used them to gain power. They don't believe in downsizing government; they believe in destroying government and creating their own tech surveillance dictatorships.

Whatever your place on the political spectrum, if you are not a tech billionaire, these people are not on your side.

These billionaires are not only aiming to do this in the US; they are also building their "network states" across the globe.

"Flock has denied feeding data to ICE & law enforcement when credible reports have proven otherwise & now they're actively training police to sway key decision-makers to buy their tech. Flock has over 300 scanners in Oakland alone."

Techno-Fascism Comes to America

The historic parallels that help explain Elon Musk’s rampage on the federal government.

"Such visions of a technologized society represent a break from the Make America Great Again populism that drove the first Trump Administration. maga reactionaries such as Steve Bannon tend to be skeptical of technological progress; as the journalist James Pogue has explained, their goal is to reclaim an American culture “thought to be lost after decades of what they see as globalist technocracy.” Bannon has denounced Silicon Valley’s ideology as “technofeudalism” and declared war on Musk. He sees it as antihuman, with U.S. citizens turned into “digital serfs” whose freedom is delimited by tech companies. In a January interview with Ross Douthat, of the Times, Bannon said, “They have to be stopped. If we don’t stop it, and we don’t stop it now, it’s going to destroy not just this country, it’s going to destroy the world.” Whereas the maga right wants to restore things as they were (or as they imagine things were), the tech right wants to, in Mark Zuckerberg’s phrasing, break things. In the Times interview, Bannon called Musk “one of the top accelerationists,” referencing another technology-inflected political ideology that treats chaos as an inevitability."

Tech Workers Can Still Fight Silicon Valley’s Overlords

Tech Workers Can Still Fight Silicon Valley’s Overlords

Don’t let the AI of it all fool you — tech workers can still bring Silicon Valley to a halt.

From AI-fueled dreams about fully automated misery capitalism to fantasies of escaping to Mars or surviving climate change in bunkers, the ruling class is moving on from lies about trickle-down economics and “rising tides that lift all boats.” Instead, their politics are increasingly driven by a desire to make people superfluous, and even disposable. The billionaire investor Warren Buffett famously said, “There is class warfare, all right, but it’s my class that’s making war, and we’re winning.” "As Big Tech and the ruling class is moving sharply to the right, that rings increasingly ominous. And yet the paucity and misery of their dreams show that they themselves have no plan for the future. Their anxious desire to make themselves independent from us is simultaneous proof that they do not even have the slightest thing to offer to the world. As they dream about making us superfluous, we should be emboldened, not frightened. As they strategize at the level of class, we should do the same. If they think they no longer need us, we should seriously ask if we need their class at all."

some recent anti-tRump (and anti-Melon-Husk) meme-pics..:

Also the recent Qanon-MAGAts attacks on Californian firefighters and firefighting efforts are simply fucked-up gaslight shit. Dump that brain-rot fuckery and say fuck you to all that bullshit. God-damn.

Also: "While the GOP is busy blaming DEI and concocting conspiracies, Canada and Mexico are busy helping saving lives, in cooperation & coordination with the California Firefighting Services."
