Have a new piece on techno fascism and Silicon Valley. Will be up Monday just in time for Labor Day.

Isolated individuals do not make a healthy society atomized, rootless and uninformed individuals are not only prone to the forces of depoliticization, but also to the unreality of populist demagogues, and the discourses of hate and the demonization of others.

Considering the guiding principle for e/acc which is spread through the current AI milieu is stated by land and others within the public movement as “acceleration of capitalism to a fascist point” it’s not hard to see how they are mimicking many of the accelerationist doomsday cults outside tech

hyperaesthesia and weaponized unreality are inextricably linked. digital authoritarianism utilizes hyper aesthetics to cement power and seduce its victims into a never ending hallway of mirrors and dead end pathways of belief and feeling all built around unreason.

In a pseudo democracy The state will always view Free information flow as propaganda because it counters their own ability to maintain and hide information that undermines the imposed and manicured reality of the states narrative and future goals.

Isolated individuals do not make a healthy society atomized, rootless and uninformed individuals are not only prone to the forces of depoliticization, but also to the unreality of populist demagogues, and the discourses of hate and the demonization of others.

"Totalitarianism appeals to the very dangerous emotional needs of people who live in complete isolation and in fear of one another."

— Hannah Arendt

The weaponized unreal and anti-epistemology is the stock-in-trade of a digitally oriented transitional far right authoritarian order that holds ultranationalist tendencies and fascist beliefs that has made the obscuring, blurring and manipulation of facts their path to power.

Information -globally sourced, accurate, nimble, helpful information - will become almost as valuable as water is about to be in a world completely ravaged by climate change and corporations. I tried to stop this before we got here, but it's never too late to kick the trash to the curb.

In its simplest form, middle-out looks like a rightwing media personality making a claim about a perceived enemy or concept that they want to try and destroy. That claim then gets spread via networks within social media to alleged grassroots groups and up towards media outlets and national media.

WEAPONIZED UNREALITY IS A “MIDDLE-OUT” CONGLOMERATION OF MISINFORMATION, DISINFORMATION, CONSPIRACY THEORY, STATE AND NONSTATE PR, AND CORPORATE MEDIA “SYNERGY” BETWEEN THEM ALL.

This will go down as one of the darkest pages in a dark chapter in our history. Truly unforgivable that 22 Democrats in the House voted for it.

Tomorrow on Did nothing wrong..
I talked with @grza.bsky.social about weponized unreality and the ongoing and accelerating information war we are now all being subjected.
