something very important for Dems to realize is that the tech overlords are not people you can win back by promising a lighter touch and saying a few nice things they’ve gotten a taste of mask-off fascism and they are not going back, they don’t want to play nice with the peons anymore

There’s a funny Politico story showing that the latest polling on AI shows 80-20 in favor of heavy regulations, an absolute slam dunk platform, but Dems are worried about not winning back mask-off tech CEO donors www.politico.com/news/magazin...

elon spends all day posting explicit white nationalism on his nazi platform, zuck is vastly more concerned with looking cool to MMA bros than anything else, these are not people who are interested in even pretending to play nice with you anymore treat them as the enemies they are

Also, a nonzero number of them are explicitly anti-democracy and want to be philosopher-kings (and even the ones that aren't *explicitly* anti-democracy still want to be philosopher-kings). Trying to bring them onboard seems like more trouble than it's worth, in more ways than one!

If I think about it, I guess I can see the seeds of their "Lex Luther" personas in the show "Silicon Valley". Too many of the naive types-- such as I--associated the idea of progress w/progressive ideas and that was a mistake.

There's increasingly outright Nazi content on Zuckerberg's social media platforms also. Threads is becoming X. Yesterday I reported and blocked two dozen outright Neo-Nazi accounts on IG and I expect that nothing will be done about them by Meta.
