What do the tech billionaires behind Donald Trump actually want? Absolute control. Think about it: -This is why they seek to dismantle democratic systems and make people obsolete. -This is why they manufacture constant apocalyptic crises designed to justify power grabs. -This is why they merge the corporate, government, and religious power into one monopoly. -This is why they buy media outlets in order to destroy them (and control public opinion). #nerdreich #elonmusk #peterthiel

Last week, I found myself sitting next to one of my heroes—journalist and Nobel laureate Maria Ressa. "I'm reading your book!" she said. She even pulled out her tablet to prove it. You could have knocked me over with a feather. Naturally, I made sure to give her a signed hard copy. I toiled over The Nerd Reich in obscurity, never quite sure if anyone would care. But two months after its release, the momentum continues to build in the most surreal ways. #NerdReich #MariaRessa #Books

Why do our would-be tech billionaire overlords see AI and crypto as weapons to destroy democracy and remake the world in their own image? Let's expose their dystopian vision for the 21st century. See full interview with Deustche Welle at link below. #nerdreich #AI #crypto #sovereignindividual #Midterm2026

Peter Thiel can't stop talking about the Antichrist. He says evil is "kind of good." He's the billionaire who co-founded Palantir, bankrolled JD Vance, and champions a man who wants to end democracy. He keeps pointing at everyone else. But here's who he's really describing 👇 Video below. Full story in my book, "The Nerd Reich: Silicon Valley Fascism and the War on Democracy." #PeterThiel #VentureCapital #Palantir #JDVance #Antichrist #NerdReich

“Nations crumble, democracy becomes obsolete, a tech-powered elite rules… threaded into the Trump admin, with VP Vance one of their own… When a nation is betrayed by its wealthiest citizens, existential crisis follows… tech fascism has global ambitions…”😕🤷🏼 #NerdReich

This is a beautifully argued short essay about how the techbros have lost the plot, and we need to remind everyone of that, all the time. Quote: It is imperative for us to push back on that. Now we don’t get to talk to Jensen Huang – which might be good for our intellectual and psychological well-being – but we talk to people who might accept those statements and argue based on that. “Jensen Huang said that we don’t need those skills”, “Sam Altman said that Intelligence is something that we can just rent from OpenAI”, “Dario Amodei said AI might kill is all”. Weird and dumb shit that needs to be challenged. /quote #ai #nerdreich

And of course, what #NerdReich CEOs are celebrating this? Tesla CEO and Palantir co-founders are cheering on sanctions on public officials. Vote with your wallets

End times fascism: on how to understand it & how to resist. Review by Luke Munn of two books trying to make sense of it all #EndTimesFascism #NerdReich Naomi Klein’s new book calls out end times fascism. What is this – and what’s the role of big tech? https://theconversation.com/naomi-kleins-new-book-calls-out-end-times-fascism-what-is-this-and-whats-the-role-of-big-tech-290614?utm_campaign=the-daily-39562&utm_content=the-daily-39562_au%7C1%7C39562%7C2d31f308&utm_medium=email&utm_source=braze&utm_term=Naomi+Klein%E2%80%99s+new+book+calls+out+end+times+fascism.+What+is+this+%E2%80%93+and+what%E2%80%99s+the+role+of+big+tech%3F

Random thought that struck me when getting back into reading Nerd Reich. So much of the shit is sci-fi infused, so as an alternative vision, "AI" as "unstable planets" in Dark Star. It's our job to not only be like a Luddite resistance to it and destroy the big data centres, we have to also destroy the means of rebuilding it, so no local models either, which require all the same externalities. #DarkStar #NerdReich #DataCenters #NedLudd

Tech billionaires think they are building a digital “god.” But is Silicon Valley trying to build God...or the “Antichrist”? Palantir billionaire Peter Thiel is giving nonstop speeches about the “Antichrist.” But if you listen closely to Thiel’s description of the biblical bogeyman, it sounds terrifyingly similar to Silicon Valley’s venture capital playbook. What is he trying to tell us? #tech #peterthiel #siliconvalley #nerdreich

YouTube is going to ban the #NerdReich podcast, right when Gil Durán's book is released next week. After first Twitter and then Facebook also played this game, they just don't want to hear about fascism. I have his book on pre-order, perhaps you might, too, or sign up for his newsletter? Great insight into the hellscape that is our current crop of techbros.
