The industry’s liberal reputation is misleading. Its reactionary tendencies – celebrating wealth, power and traditional masculinity – have been clear since the dotcom mania of the 1990s

    This has the same problem as ChristoFascism.

    EuroFascism WAS Christian! There is nothing novel here that should afford the creation of a new moniker.

    Similarly, EuroFascism WAS the height of technology. IBM, Ford, VW, etc all doing the utmost to be the cutting edge in technology all serving the needs of the EuroFascists.

    It’s NOT NEW! IT’S THE SAME FUCKING HISTORICAL PROCESS!!!

    Obviously they paint this as a conflict between fascism and western liberal feminism. It’s all about Silicon Valey “gendered roots”, “male power” etc. Nothing about the economic basis of the rise of fascism, about tech firms crushing labour movements, about their need for rare minerals mined in the imperial periphery to push cheap hardware, their need to keep the periphery destabilised so they can superexploit the workforce to assemble said hardware, and charge exorbitant fees for software developed in the imperial core, etc.
