"Under the banner of "patriotic tech", this new bloc [#tech #fascists] is building the #infrastructure of #control—#clouds, #AI, #finance, #drones, #satellites—an integrated system we call the #Authoritarian #Stack. It is faster, #ideological, and fully #privatized: a regime where #corporate #boards, not public law, set the rules.
Our investigation shows how these firms now operate as #state-like powers—writing the #rules, winning the tenders, and exporting their model to Europe, where it poses a direct challenge to democratic governance"

Back when #DOGE starting firing thousands for no reason, I explained to a friend:
"They're trying to prove we don't need government, and for the few things we DO need government for, those things can be #Privatized."
When they #Shutdown the government, I made the point again.
Defunding medical research is just the latest extension of this extreme RW push to #privatize everything. 🤬
Seen thru that lens, it all starts to make sense.
#Alberta #Healthcare #Government undermined, dismantled, #privatized by #DanielleSmith #UCP #Alberta! Wake up #Albertans!
What happens if #Amtrak gets #privatized?
