@arstechnica *newly-invented* category of threat, but the threat isn't the loathing of useless, unprofitable, climate and resource-destroying "tools" being punted by spoilt rich daddy's boys.
@arstechnica
Broligarchs want to protect their trillions.
@arstechnica It's extreme to oppose an existential threat? Of course a fascist government would say that. The "tech" they are referring to provides no benefit to communities.
If space aliens arrived and started to extract all of our water and electricity for their own benefits I would expect this fascist government would support that as well.
"Taken together, these Trump administration directives have commandeered the domestic surveillance apparatus to surveil and criminalize speech and assembly that challenges the ideology of the White House" A lot of words to say fascism.
@arstechnica it's called they would call "civil disobedience' as "extremism" now.
@arstechnica The pro-tech extremism is provoking a response. Who'd have predicted this totally predictable outcome?
