@hub Nothing has more of an "it wasn't meant to be an instruction manual" to me than all those dystopian sci-fi books and their libertarian undercurrents. When you see techbros literally quoting from them as inspiration for all this stuff they're building, you can really see how influential they were into priming them for a proto-fascist mindset that leads them to putting in power the people who are turning the Handmaid's Tale into reality.
