    Ah yes the old

    freedom for American internet choice act

    Or whatever that actually means that the ISPs in power have the freedom to maintain control without competition and ensures Americans have no choice in internet provider

    E.g. it’s literally the opposite of what it says on the tin

    at what point do we expect the individual to forfeit their life for their morals?

    The amount of “why aren’t Americans just going out, buying guns, and shooting suspected ICE agents” has me thinking too many aren’t thinking through this question rationally, unfortunately





  • Certainly true to an extent, but I’d argue the biggest supporters of dark enlightenment only see technocracy as a stepping stone and are trying everything to get to the end goal. They don’t want people to be voted into power based on their tech background, they want power exclusively and without challenge.

    Musk in the White House, big balls in our tax systems, etc, was all supposed to hop the accelerationism train towards technocracy until it was clear that years and years of paper and software systems spread across thousands of employees are wildly complex and you can’t just throw an alt-right Ivy League grad with unlimited copilot credits to solve the problem.

    The US is the most obvious example though, as you mentioned, multiple countries are trying that slow creep into technocracy, but I still see that as blowing money into governments for the super rich in the tech sector getting the power they are craving.

    Funny enough in a true technocracy you’d never have musk, bezos, cook, etc in power. They aren’t nearly as smart as the people they employ. But those people who would be in power generally don’t give a fuck about others. They’re the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wernher_von_Braun of today’s age. They’d pursue their goals regardless of outcome, because technological advancement is all that matters to them
