The Trump-Musk alliance isn't just authoritarian-looking. It's more dangerous than that. It's technoauthoritarian. Please read all these but especially no 10, listen to women of colour. Everything bad that has happened on the internet happens to them first.

Don't worry Peter Thiel's technoauthoritarian FREEDOM CITY plan will save it (from having a minimum wage and due process of law)
The amount of loss in DC over the past year has been staggering. Hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of jobs, even entire industries, whole offices cleared out. The entire Kennedy Center, and now a huge chunk of our hometown paper. I don't think people outside understand the scope

Look, I'm trying to not be distracted by a face that is a cross between Hitler and Nosferatu raving about the Antichrist and naming his technoauthoritarian child-murdering AI surveillance network after the second-most evil tech run by the second-most evil guy in Lord of the Rings but it's hard ok
Reminder to avoid the Thiel distraction. A point we’ve been hitting on tour is the temptation to apply intellectual history methods to a regime of accumulation (digital capitalism) is misguided. You won’t understand the Tech Right by reading books (they don’t read). Look at how they run their firms.

Mainstreaming of anime was a mistake because it let these freaks do things like wear a NERV jacket while being a technoauthoritarian weapons dealer without a single shred of irony or self awareness.

And half of those who do, read it between the ages of 13 and 17 when they don’t understand the subtext and never return to it as more nuanced adults and then pitch us into technoauthoritarian hellscapes.

The browner fascists need to realize that they’re never going to be anywhere near the top of the pecking order in any of these technoauthoritarian regimes. This shit is still at heart a white supremacist movement. They will always be tokens or house boys under the white oligarchs.

Vance is a troll at best, but we know in reality, it is much darker than that. He wants to bring about Yarvin's technoauthoritarian society. He direct quotes Yarvin and takes VC (Theil, etc)'s money.

Our voting system is compromised. Judicial restraint will only last so long. Unless someone steps up and does what’s right, the USA is going to enter a forced technoauthoritarian system with entrenched oligarchs in total control of US society. Elon stole our system behind our backs.
