The tech bros are omnicidal threats to all living systems on the planet.

It's sadly 40k cosplay, which is even worse.

When I coined the term Weaponized unreality and wrote and spoke publicly about the massive network of bad actors radicalizing digital communities this was exactly what I was speaking about exactly what we are seeing in real life now.American fascism needed a weaponized unreality state and built one.

Are a threat you certain forms of power especially noeoliberal power and it’s reliant of theater in place of concrete action and material change. The Neil , liberals will get increasingly upset and conspiratorial the more you point out that authoritarianism is deeply ingrained now.

You are Going to run into the issue that many of us on the research and academic side of fascism and authoritarianism have run into time and time again, which is that there is a huge incentive to claim that anyone actually pointing out the realities of how deep authoritarian and its fascist rot goes

You’re going to garner a huge amount of pushback on this is because if Trump is issuing it legal orders and the military is following them that means the military is going to have to be gutted like a fish and that scares the hell out of people with power in government as it means America has fallen.

This is a brilliant for of protest and can and should be adapted to many other uses. This is really really smart protest.

Once again, there is no national security so long as we leave the Trump er al regime in power.

EVERYTHING ELSE ASIDE, the constant chaos & confusion & ignorance is enormously self-defeating plus ideological disruption of policy formation and evaluation mechanism…

We have to make this stop.

For those of you who have followed me for some time probably remember I have shared some stuff I have made in the past. This new music I have been making is far far more cinematic than some previous stuff so I am finding it interesting.

I am using a whole bunch of differing systems kind of overlapping them to do what I am doing right now but I really am loving some of the stuff I can do with this akai gear and my euro rack components at the moment

So as it seems the norm when the news gets too heavy and the fascism makes things feel bleak I have been making music again and it feels so so good to be totally free in a space and not have any real outside distractions. It’s amazing how making art that allows me to step away from the horror helps.

Anti socialism and anti communism are proto fascist ideologies and the dem parts are showing what they believe and it’s fascist propaganda not reality.

Hakeem is literally voting for Nazi propaganda

They are literally firing all the judges they think might grant relief. They just fired a friend of mine a couple hours ago. They have no shame. The bastards want an assembly line for deportations and nothing more; rubber-stamping bootlickers who’ll yes’sir at every new diktat to deny.

Trump believes nothing and as an empty vessel will be filled with anything he understand may accrue him more power

I don't mean this in an "I told you so" way, but it was very obvious to me that the Mamdani/Trump meeting would go the way it did, because Mamdani is ascendant, popular, powerful and charismatic, all things that Trump wants to glom on to. Trump has no principles; it's not like he has converted.

American fascism is truly unique in a number of ways and its hyper modern view of power is no different.
American fascism on its face appears to be more in line with its own proto fascist history of white power manifest destiny than some of the more well known variants we have come to know in Europe

At the heart of the red brown alliance is misogyny and tech money

Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

Yes George bush the second was a fascist as well a genocidal war criminal stop trying to rehab people like dick Cheney and bush.

They are literal fascists who built the initial framework for the fascist police state we now exist within.

A Friday night primetime war would be right in the wheelhouse of fascist consumerism and American propaganda.

The trump admins usual Friday night news dump may be preceded by a Friday night war this week.

Do you know how to speak the language of the creepy little far-right freaks on the internet?

Of course not. You have friends. So why would you?

But luckily for you, I do not have a life, so I'm fluent. Today, I’m your Rosetta Stone.

This is part two -- and we're doing a White House edition:
