Everything is on fire. With Trump back in the White House and Musk at his side, America - and by extension, the rest of the world - is in deep, deep trouble. And there’s no doubt much of this trouble comes from Silicon Valley’s oligarchs, the Techbros.
This course brings together eight brilliant guest speakers – a new one each week – to explore the question of how we got here and what we do now.
With a focus on action and solidarity building, this course will leave you energised and with everything you need to know to start fighting back.
Guest Lecturers
Aliya Danzeisen
Chris Gilliard
Alex Hanna
Paris Marx
Dan McQuillan
Brian Merchant

The fact that Meta has sued to block her ability to talk publicly about this book makes it perhaps more intriguing and arguably more credible.

Here's how it works: the movement establishes something crazy as a core belief. Individual members who publicly support this crazy core belief encounter predictable criticism. The movement then becomes the only place where the individual member finds an accepting community.
