The Rise of End Times Fascism [View all]

This is a link to a Naomi Klein article about a technofascist plan to take over our government and society. It is a very important subject and one of the best explanations that explains our current situation. The article is a bit long but it is worth taking the time to read. It explains the plans of the tech oligarchs that are behind Trump.

Here is an excerpt--

"Inspired by a warped reading of the political philosopher Albert Hirschman, figures including Goff, Thiel and the investor and writer Balaji Srinivasan have been championing what they call “exit” – the principle that those with means have the right to walk away from the obligations of citizenship, especially taxes and burdensome regulation. Retooling and rebranding the old ambitions and privileges of empires, they dream of splintering governments and carving up the world into hyper-capitalist, democracy-free havens under the sole control of the supremely wealthy, protected by private mercenaries, serviced by AI robots and financed by cryptocurrencies."
