@Vox @technology-Vox Stopped reading when it got to "we should work with nazis and bigots"

Fuck off Creepy American Tech Bros, you are repellent.

Mir fallen spontan zwei Szenarien ein:
Wenn sie ihren Disput rasch geklärt bekommen, haben wir dort ein vollständig faschistisches System.
Wenn sie den Disput bis zu den Midterms durchziehen, werden sie sich in einer gemeinsamen Kraftanstrengung den Rest der Democrats vorknöpfen. Was auch immer dann übrig bleibt, es ist nicht mehr zu retten.

Die Frage, die ich noch nicht nachgehen konnte: ist Musk noch im Team #Techright? Oder waren seine Eskapaden denen auch schon zu viel?

Ach du liebe Güte! Ich muss euch heute Abend mal einen Kommentar vom #Blome empfehlen:

Bin selbst ganz überrascht.

Aber im Ernst: die Schadenfreude dominiert hier heute ja bez. #Trump und #Musk, was ich mal wieder typisch für die Dummheit vieler Linker finde. Man darf nicht vergessen, dass sich im Regime Trump 2 die #AltRight und #TechRight zusammen geschlossen haben.

Network, Patchwork, Technate: geographical imaginations of the 'tech right' https://electronicplanet.xyz/2025/05/02/network-patchwork-technate-geographical-imaginations-of-the-tech-right/ #ElonMusk, #FarRight, #NetworkState, #Politics, #TechRight

On #signalchat groups' power:
“If you weren’t in the business at all, you’d think everyone was arriving at conclusions independently—and [they’re] not. It’s a small group of people who talk to each other and overlap between politics & journalism and a few industries.”
But there is no equivalent to the #intellectualcounterculture that grew up over the last 5 years on the #techright, and no figure remotely like #Andreessen, the towering, enthusiastic 53-year old."

« Despite the industry’s (often undeserved) reputation for liberalism, its reactionary foundations were baked in almost from the beginning. […] At the height of the dotcom mania in the 1990s, many critics warned of a creeping reactionary fervor. […] Throughout the decade, Silicon Valley not only became a leading space for a war on the “PC police”, but entrepreneurs also came to represent some of the biggest anti-PC culture warriors. […] This rising “technofascism”, as critics of the time had called it, was temporarily staved off by the dotcom stock market crash of 2000. […] But a younger generation of aspiring tech hopefuls had already come to the valley, seeking fame, riches, and power. […] The Silicon Valley titans of 2025 are following the same blueprint. » https://www.theguardian.com/technology/ng-interactive/2025/jan/29/silicon-valley-rightwing-technofascism

转评论 ——

一个我们错过了的评论，发表于一个月前，也就是第二场动员反抗特朗普就职的关键阶段。
该评论中描述的原理目前依然有效，关于内战的预测、关于特朗普的权力范围、关于近期的未来…

我们希望再次提醒反思那些呼吁虚无绝望的声调。这是自大选时至今三次主要抵抗动员的共同基本提示之一。

同时感谢所有加入抵抗行动的华裔朋友！以及一起思考的所有读者。

#IQFetishism: #SiliconValley #TechRight: "The IQ fetishists like to think they are living in a near future where they – the pure creative information workers imagined in the 1990s – have been elevated through their high intelligence and innate ability. They were not simply in the right place at the right time, bobbing along in a sea of liquidity in an era of zero interest rates. They were, like the staff at the Apple Store, geniuses.

With the dream of cryptocurrency – and its many related fantasies, from non-fungible tokens (NFTs) to decentralised autonomous organisations (DAOs) – deflation, and the figurehead of the avenging nerd, the founder of crypto exchange FTX Sam Bankman-Fried, behind bars, a gullible tech right has sought refuge in its consistent creed. “[Bankman-Fried] always seemed low-IQ to me,” wrote one tech CEO in a post hoc justification.

Perhaps the darkest direction that tech-right thinking could go was foreshadowed by Yarvin in 2008. Speculating about the transformation of San Francisco into a private entity called “Friscorp”, he wondered what could be done with the city’s unproductive residents. After considering and then dismissing the idea of pulping surplus “hominids” into biodiesel for city buses, he suggested “the best humane alternative to genocide” was “not to liquidate the wards… but to virtualise them”."
