   You're not imagining it: many of the most powerful and visible people in tech have been radicalized into an extremist world view that is unfathomable even in other major industries. The impacts have already been awful, and promise to get worse. https://anildash.com/2023/02/27/tycoon-martyrdom-charade/

     The #TechnoFascist-#VC-as-Victim
     Industrial Complex is
     • real
     • disturbing
     • dangerous
     • immediate & material threat to what’s left of #democracy

     The dystopia is already here, it’s just not evenly distributed yet.

     @drifthood @anildash Glad to see that @parismarx is active on the Fediverse. For awhile, it was tough to convince him of its viability.

     @anildash @atomicpoet

     Paris Marx is joined by Malcolm Harris to discuss the sordid history of Silicon Valley, including the long influence of eugenics at Stanford, how Silicon Valley profited from the United States’ wars throughout the 20th century, and why the libertarian narrative of tech hide a much darker reality.
