- i think we need to talk about how vulnerable many countries in the world are to invasion/ takeover by tech fascism. many countries are poor, have been destroyed by CIA coups and imperialism, all it takes is one ambitious politician to take the venture capital economic package- its off to the races
- Reposted by shanleyI had the great pleasure and honor to contribute an essay framing the call titled "Refusing Tech Fascism" error417.expectation.fail/406/tech-fascsism-n…

Its latest is by Palmer Luckey, founder of Anduril, which is backed by Founders Fund. Solana is a VP at Founders Fund—started by Thiel & Ken Howery (now ambassador to Denmark). 1/
- Reposted by shanleyThe 'Network State' is the nation-state of tech fascists, organized through a large web of venture capital firms and startups. Their goal is to create their own sovereign, independent nation-states. www.vcinfodocs.com/what-is-the-...
- i spend about 25-30% of my time giving 1 hr/ presentations to small groups, collectives, social justice groups, think tanks, research teams, academics, etc, to give them a huge download on tech fascism so if you know a small group of people who would be interested in that, def DM me lets set it up

- big acquisition for coinbase + an important quote from coinbase ceo brian armstrong from their earnings call. also "We continue to repeat our successful international playbook driven by obtaining new licenses. So we secured a vast registration in Argentina."

- Reposted by shanleyAnduril founder Palmer Luckey says the US should “expand our naval base on Guantanamo Bay into Liberty City [ie, a ‘freedom city’], an American Singapore of the Caribbean.” Anduril is backed by Tech Bros Peter Thiel & Marc Andreessen who support aspiring “network states” via Pronomos Capital. 1/

- when you think about what to do to fight tech fascism, think of the importance of funding independent groups& investigators. we are up against trillions, if you can spare $10, $100, or $1000, invest in the future of stopping tech fascism.

- yeah, the actual material reality of what the network state is and how advanced it is is unfortunately getting covered up by a bunch of fraudulent journalists who know enough to cover the ideology but nothing about the actual apparatus of tech fascism. we gotta fight that!!! 😂
- just posted on my substack techfascism.substack.com/p/design-pat...
- all i have ever asked for from gil is to occasionally drop vcinfodocs so that people at least have the option of going deeper and seeing the full picture. hasn't happened even a single time. its not only erasure it fucks over the movement and the people who deserve to know
- . @george-lakoff.com can you please ask your newsletter partner why he is galloping out into a clout rainbow while meanwhile refusing to even mention the HUGE canon of work about this that is already out there and was far before he wrote a single thing about tech fascism?
