Big tech has gone full fascist for a bit now
How else you get big bucks from sellimg surveillance tech to the state? Not with principled politicians.
With literally no tech opposition from the left
It's almost as though most of the techbros are fascists who read about half of Atlas Shrugged and think it makes them smart.
The left had so many things they hated that the right manipulated them into cancelling every single celebrity with a skeleton in their closet. This made all of the terrified. At the same time the right showed they will defend and enrich anyone who even looks their way. The left alienated everyone they could, the right embraced them and offered a safe space. This isn't complicated. It isn't Atlas Shrugged. It's basic human nature and social awareness. The left bought right into so many poisoned apples.
I read through the comments. Literally someone below is even saying "Tech bros are all fascist sympathizers". I like tech. Do I now say fuck the left because that's me I like tech and therefore I am a fascist sympathizer? Like its unreal how the left labels things and then has no awareness why they have lost people who traditionally would have been leaning left. I don't think there ever will be any self awareness on this either.
I can't imagine the mentality of walking around and saying everything and everyone is a piece of shit and then at the end of the day going "why is nobody supporting me". People are not fascist or Nazis or whatever because they are helping Trump. They just hate all of you. A lot of the world does.
Sure, but what? All the tech-savvy Americans are fascist sympathizers? No actually bright and plugged-in people in the tech world?
Fascist techbros were already somewhere between wealthy and ultra wealthy.
There are plenty of non-fascist tech-savvy Americans, they just don't control Scrooge McDuck amounts of money.
Breaking things online isn’t expensive. The asymmetry is the point. In the digital arena, knowledge scales faster than money.
Organize. Identify fascist sympathizing corporations, organizations, churches, NPOs- infrastructure disruption, financial sabotage, data exposure..
Even for those who aren’t “hackers,” why is there not a massive indimidation campaign against MAGA trash? Catfish, get receipts, out cheaters, perverts, and pedos to their families and communities. Find the “apolitical” folks who LARP like Nazis on Twitter. Share their Nazi shit with their employers.
No, just techbros.
Okay so… everyone else is just… allowing it? Nobody going on the offense? Obviously Americans have no stomach for the violence that WILL be necessary- so what’s the excuse for the total lack of cyberwarfare?
