How does it build upon the work deconstructing Cyberlibertarianism by David Golumbia?

Solid piece @katiekelaidis.bsky.social thank you.

“It is not a great jump between Vance challenging the Pope on the meaning of St. Augustine to Vance challenging the Constitution on the meaning of citizenship.”

Ooops we deported you/them in error. But now you’re legal purgatory. This times a million is on the horizon unless we overturn all this.

“… with enough noise and obfuscation and with enough requests to “Google that,” they can create a version of reality where a recent convert’s opinion of Catholic theology is as valuable as the Pope’s.”

This is the Cyberlibertarian mixture in this, the same denialism against technosocial scholars.

The most concerning part is the merger of this with TESCREAL ideologies and its tech capable of rewriting culture to fit its worldview.

It’s not a conspiracy. It’s been promoted overtly for years. Defiantly follow @davetroy.com but consider the book Cyberlibertarianism: The Right-Wing Politics of Digital Technology by David Golumbia as required reading. Cyberlib tech all leads to the right.

Am leading a small book club reading dear David’s book from my Wise Cities context. It’s the fierce clarity we need!

Until this deeper problem is faced we’ll just keep repeating the same problem. Left libertarianism is often just making “kinder gentler” UX for right wing movements. We saw this in much civic tech. And it’s repeating again where “good intentions” ignore underlying ideologies.
