I know there is confusion and unknowns about what we are facing.

But we actually know a lot: what is happening, why, who is doing it, what their plans are, etc

A lot of people worked on this site to help close the gap, please use it and share it

infinitely more interesting than the meltdown liberals had over peter thiel and the anti-christ (except that Peter Thiel's conception of the anti-christ is a charismatic Lenin-esque communist leader)...

Anti-communism and GLOBAL anti-communism is at the HEART of tech fascism.

The media misleads us into thinking what is happening in venture capital is rogue individuals. Lies. This is a structural issue in the venture capital asset class and capitalism.

There are at least *50* VC firms at the CORE architecting this, up to 100s as more join/depending on how you slice it.

found this in Virginia Guiffere's book, for those of you who aren't in tech, Stallman was/is a cult figure in the industry behind the Free Software Foundation. His comments about pedophilia and age of consent were flagged up the chain by women in tech long before it got to this point described here

The scope of what crypto entails is huge, no matter how "ridiculous" you think crypto is, NOTHING is stopping them from executing on these goals.

Crypto = "venture capital financial products" and "venture capital financial infrastructure"

i read virginia giuffre's memoir and it was so sad and so hopeful and just all of the things. this amazing person. i might write up some thoughts soon as a survivor of pedophilia but in the meantime i do encourage you to read it especially if you have posted a lot about epstein, you owe it to her.

i tried to organize a people's war crime tribunal for venture capital in 2019. gil duran has 0 new ideas and is oh so happy to erase just huge bodies of work on this.
When this is over, and it will be soon, we "should have Nurenburg type trials for all of the oligarchs and megadonors that allowed democracy to almost slip away". - Gil Duran (paraphrased)

The NYT interviewed 40 men who were in CECOT.

They described being beaten, sexually assaulted by guards, driven to the brink of suicide. One said officers thrust his head into a tank of water to simulate drowning. Another was forced to perform oral sex on guards in hoods.

Trump did this.

as a computer scientist, i am BEGGING people to realize that there is no cognition inside of an LLM

no reasoning, no thought process, no self-awareness

I read a lot of arguments (for AND against) LLMs, and both sides seem to think there’s a consciousness or intentionality or even a moral alignment

its so insane to me that i had my life threatened so many times for so many years over this VC thing and people who got @ signed once by a venture capitalist are treated as war heroes lmfao.

y'all are out of your minds

And you'd be fuckin amazed at how many "marxists" and "anti-capitalists" don't want to hear one word about finance capital. HA.

100% . and one of the big reasons i stopped organizing inside the industry.

tech workers ain't gonna do shit.
It’s bad out here. Half the tech “left” orgs are just fishing for vc money

After doing a lot of outreach and survey of leftist groups to bone us up for the venture capital threat, it pains me to report that the state of leftist organizing in this country is absolutely dire and I fear the world will fall much quicker into tech fascism than even I anticipated.

one thing to understand here is that compared to how much money vc throws around, creating 1,000 new podcasts, newspapers/magazines, all that shit... cheap as fuck to them. All that type of media is real cheap to them. they will totally overwhelm everything it will be all you can see. trust that
New parallel media play just dropped from a16z...

an INCUBATOR to scale up the production of fascist media owned and operated and funded by VC... they are industrializing it.

This is SCALE. That is what VCs do. They start with a few then they push play. BOOM

someday people will know the huge effort that was made in 2022 and 2023 to warn journalists, academics, tech critics, NGOs, non profits, activist groups and the world what was happening...no one wanted to hear it. even today the full scope of what we are facing is being gate kept www.vcinfodocs.com
