land of the freelusion and home of the craze

Youtube? I listen to your podcast on Pocket Casts.

get your stuff onto Kick, every one that has been shadow banned or outright banned has migrated there

please see elsewhere in thread where I explain

✅ pre-ordered. Heard your interview on NPR and look forward to reading your book.

BASED ON WHAT?

Won’t silence your voice. We’re in the fight for our civilisation and we’re with you, thank you for helping us see what is actually going on. Fight tech fascism.💪🏻

Gil - proof that your analysis is correct. We will continue to value and follow your work and pass it to others in the fight against the new dark age of tech fascism.

Hang in there Gil. We don’t need the pricks! Obviously you hit a nerve!

Nevertheless, show up and subscribe!

Pre ordered on Libro.fm

I'm a subscriber to your channel. God damn. Can you create an alt channel until this is hopefully resolved?

So they’ll honor DMCA complaints about thumbnails based on video upload date but not bother to check when the thumbnail itself was updated

Not much, but here's a follow

Reserved a paperback copy, it will hit the store on the 28th here in The netherlands

What's funny is that freezepeach warrior @kenwhite.bsky.social complains about "censorship" on Bluesky, but stays completely silent about Meta/Facebook/Google censorship and doesn't criticize Zuck when posting on Threads.

Pre order complete 🙂

Sue them.

How do guys like George Galloway not get banned from YouTube he gives the US administration and the zionists in Israel absolute pelters.

I’m sure I’m a choir member, but these facts make me want to listen to the sermon all the more intently.

This is how fascism works.

When does it come out in paperback?

you're getting Stage I of the "truly subsersive" recognition! congratulations, sincerely

It will backfire. Obviously it is proof that your analysis is correct.

In the past days, there's been a sudden aggressive campaign of fake accounts filing serial false "copyright strike" complaints against the channel. They're obviously frivolous and designed to deplatform, and YouTube is playing along. (I sent an email to the Google media team, etc. They don't care.)

He explains in this short video www.youtube.com/watch?v=19HC...

Why does it surprise you? When the Orange Spirochaetal Clown has tech bro photo ops, Sundar Pichai is always in the picture. You think Google doesn't grovel before Dear Leader's regime & won't do anything to avoid antagonizing them or, ultimately, do anything asked of them?

@joshtpm.bsky.social Something similar happened a few years ago. www.theverge.com/2024/12/27/2...

"wrote a book so good the broligarchy are trying to sabotage its distribution" is a pretty awesome lifetime achievement ❤️ #ArmageddonCapitalism

Streisand effect!

Streisand effect in effect!

Hmmmm…. 🧐 Since Bluesky was down today… Just Wondering if there’s a connection….? (also, in the last month, a number of us were targeted, by someone? - saying we were bots. )

YES! You wrote and spoke the truth and that scares the shit out of the oligarchs. They hate democracy, they hate freedom of speech. We're in big trouble...

F them. Just bought it.

Suspiciously convenient timing on these bans. Just saying...

Welcome to the fourth Reich.

Pre ordered the book months ago and it’s supposed to arrive Tuesday!

Will buy your book at bookshop.org. no dollars of mine to go to nerd reich oligarchs.

Sounds like they’re conspiring against you.

Great title, by the way.

More than likely this was ordered from the top down. Thiel especially is a vengeful oligarch and probably spoke with his buddies at YouTube...

Preordered, I can’t wait to read it!

I'd say "yes" to your question and promptly invite you to join #HeyCafe hey.cafe

I will get your book. It's in my Wishlist.

Sounds like the broligarchy is big mad about your fascinating book. I have to get a copy.

Picked it up today in Munro’s in Victoria BC - enjoying it and hope it does well 👆👆👆

We will Streisand effect you Gil. Will tell as many people as possible about the book.

You were the subject of discussion last night at a brewery in New Jersey. F the Reich. Your message is out there.

They’ve made your point for you Gil. I’ve shamelessly used your phrase about grievance. I live in an area of Oxford where a group of residents are seemingly addicted to grievance. The tech giants have a malign influence on our society and culture

I just preordered, because fuck Thiel, Andreesen, Musk, Zuckerberg, Yarvin and the rest of them.

It's like a cartoonish conspiracy theory show, but it's actually real! Hopefully their insane censorship will backfire.

The cowardice of so many is something people will be writing about long after I’m gone.

I’m ordering your book! Screw them!

FDR won a world war from a wheelchair.

Illustrated in a patriotic and touching manner by Norman Rockwell. My favorites of his!

My copy arrived today!

@parismarx.com

ain't life grand

Touched a nerve is what you did

Journalist Gil Durán argues that a small circle of Silicon Valley billionaires and venture capitalists have concluded that democracy is in their way — and that they should be governing in its place. Approx. 36 min.; transcript also available

I'm seeking independent book shops in Ireland to purchase this. Looks like a great read.

O Gil Durán subiu no meu conceito como um foguete, mas não o do Elão Moska.

Hmmmm. Could be.

lol, shitter disabled my account in like 2021 cos I said capitalism will tell you to die if you're insufficiently exploitable. and I had like a couple hundred followers, almost all ppl I actually knew. it doesn't take much!

Pre-ordered ✔️

You have a blog? A website? I’ll link to it on mine and put it into my news reader feed.

There is recourse tho it's just very bothersome

It will help your book launch. They are devastatingly stupid to ban your podcast. Looking forward to reading your book.

Mr. @gilduran.com, we heard you say in _Nerd Reich_ that Sam Altman has property in Big Sur to get away from the rest of us but currently there are 2 raging wildfires tearing through Big Sur. Billionaire math is bad because it never sees how climate change doesn’t give a shit about gated boundaries.

Hopefully I am never at risk for that, but I am so glad that if such an awful fate fell on me, there are groups like yours working on preservation

@gilduran.com Hi :) In the meantime I archived your whole YouTube channel; but before I create + share a torrent of the contents, I need your permission/consent. After all, it's your content and I don't want to infringe on any of your rights. Just say the word & it'll be up on https://sciop.net […]

You are great. Don’t ever change.

Not all heroes wear capes (presumably)

King! 👑👑👑

Yes, if confirmed by Gil, it will be an upload there. But it will take a couple hours: Waiting + I need to add the dates to the filenames

sounds like a story one of us should be telling (congratulations on the book!)

Just pre-ordered a copy because fuck them fascist assholes.

@gilduran.com I'm sorry. After Colbert got his interview out using YT, I expected that to be the next censored platform. We have decentralized alternatives impervious to control like fedi, we just need to come together around them. #peertube #owncast

Thank you for your hard work and bringing this to our attention, please keep going!

🏆

You might try uploading your videos on Vimeo

Thanks, Fran!

Preordered, nothing can stop us now.

🙏🏼

Thanks!

Yes And Yes. It’s designed a certain way to curry favor with the right people and minimize YouTube’s costs (for real investigation) at the expense of the creators that make YouTube exist at all. Monopolies do this all the time b/c they know you can’t go anywhere else.

This Bookshop link: bookshop.org/a/109206/978... It supports indy booksellers, and 10% goes to my newsletter.

Ordered.

Will it be listed on Amazon? 🤔

I left a comment on News From Google on Bluesky politely demanding they unban you. Maybe you can't tell your followers to go do that but it seems like a good plan. That's how we used to fix these things

One reason I have a Vimeo account and you can post video on LinkedIn and Amazon Also you can always get a sub YouTube account going that you use for back ups but Vimeo has a decent $20 a month program with 2T and it is basic enough

Where can I get a copy of the book in nz. Someone help

They must be terrified! Way to go. Keep up the good work, and stay safe.
