A Palantir billionaire just called for public hangings. “It's time to bring back masculine leadership to protect our most vulnerable,” writes Joe Lonsdale. This is where Silicon Valley authoritarianism is heading: www.thenerdreich.com/joe-lonsdale...

Silicon Valley radicalization escalates

The Nerd Reich

Gil Durán Dec 6

The radicalization of Silicon Valley is the subject of my forthcoming book, "The Nerd Reich: Silicon Valley Fascism and The War on Democracy." It exposes a decades-long campaign to use tech power to overthrow democracy and destroy nations. Pre-order here: www.simonandschuster.com/books/The-Ne...

To my astonishment, I’m learning that Stalin has fans too.

I Heart Noise Dec 7

Hitler does, so why not Stalin

I Heart Noise Dec 7

Plenty of people that want to be ruled by an iron fist

I Heart Noise Dec 7

I kid you not - used to run into Hitler fans on old Twitter. The new one got even more of those.

@gilduran.com these Nazi shitheads are being given hundreds of millions of pounds of UK taxpayer money plus citizens personal data. WTF??🤬🤮🤬🤮

@gilduran.com What the fuck is with this sudden obsession with masculinity among these tech bros? I don't get it. Like they clearly were picked on by football players too much or some shit. I mean, I'm gay, from Wyoming....but I've slept with half my high school wrestling team, so maybe that's my problem why I'm not heartlessly masculine. *shrugs*

@gilduran.com Anytime the depraved dipshit wants to see an execution he can call a governor and get a seat.

There's a way someone of his means and influence could advocate for victims of violence, posting some macho-but-not-really "one time I watched Braveheart " bullshit ain't it.

I don't know.

While Mussolini hanging upside down at a gas station in Rome had positives for those who survived him, I doubt Trump or the rest of the Nazi tech-bros even considered that as a possible personal end-point before they went about advancing fascism and authoritarianism.

I say we start with him... Then see how we feel about it.

@gilduran.com Let's start with him, then Andreesen, Musk, Sacks, Karp, and Yarvin, and then we can probably put a pin in the idea indefinitely.

His idea seems dumb to me. The most vulnerable are going to get hanged at some point. Backfires.

@boig @gilduran.com Yeah, I wasn't serious. Capital punishment is both immoral and utterly ineffective (not to mention often used corruptly or unjustly.) Plus I realized I forgot Thiel and a bunch of others and the list just would have kept growing.

Can he be first in line?

@gilduran.com They are themselves the threat to the most vulnerable.

Wow, even phrenology endorser Claire Lehmann is repulsed by tech fascists going full Day of the Rope. It's always interesting to see where people's red lines are.
