Dark Enlightenment and the Techno Fascist Playbook [View all]

I recently took a deep dive into techno fascism so you don't have to. From my source material I pulled what in essence would be their action items in a takeover. Essentially, it's exactly what we have been experiencing:




For the techno fascists what are the core action point of their philosophy

The core tenets of techno-fascist philosophy, as gleaned from the sources, revolve around anti-democratic and authoritarian ideals, with a strong emphasis on technology and a rejection of equality. Key action points and beliefs associated with this philosophy include:

Replacing democracy with autocracy: Advocates for replacing democratic institutions with a monarchy or dictatorship styled after a Silicon Valley tech start-up, concentrating political power in a single "chief executive". Curtis Yarvin, a central figure in this ideology, has argued that American democracy is irrevocably broken and should be replaced.

Techno-authoritarianism: Proposes that societies should be governed by a king-CEO figure, similar to a highly hierarchical company, where citizens act as shareholders. The goal is to achieve a pragmatic, elitist solution that restores order and stability.

Rejection of egalitarianism: The neo-reactionary movement, also known as the Dark Enlightenment, believes that equality is not a desirable end.

"Hard reset" of society: Advocates for a "hard reset" or "rebooting" of society rather than gradual political reforms. This involves dismantling existing power structures like elite media and academic institutions.

Embracing dictatorship: Calls for a grateful embrace of dictatorship and/or monarchy to allow the "real forces" running the world to operate without the constraints of mass consensus.

Technological control: Envisions a future where large corporations dominate a hyper-technological society, also known as technofeudalism. States would be governed like companies, prioritizing efficiency and profitability over democratic goals.

Mobilising a political base: Mobilising ordinary supporters by identifying opponents and issuing instructions via an app.

Belief in a Deep State: Views Trump as a messianic figure destined to save the country from a pedophilic and satanic "Deep State".

Anti-"woke" agenda: Desire to strike at the heart of universities and implement a "de-woke-ification program".

"Patchwork" governance: Breaking up governments into smaller entities controlled by tech corporations, with each "patchwork" ruled by a corporation with absolute power.

Disdain for existing institutions: Sees true power as being held by "the Cathedral" and believes these institutions must be dissolved.

** شايفها** Replacing existing systems**: Designing "new architectures of exit" rather than engaging in ineffective political activism...
