eddiebbot<p>The speed of our machines makes them much more fragile and magnifies the consequences of the least mistake.

Dr Pen<p>I just came from Bluesky to tell you it's a hellscape of desperation over there atm. Not the fault of Bluesky! But even though I follow a whole lot of academics, tech, ed tech and tech media people, I still see 90% Trump/Musk Dystopia panic updates of what's happening in the US. It makes me feel powerless, panicky and furious at the power of techbro nihilism. It's calmer here on masto, at least there's that. Masto is like a fortress community of hope. </p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/techbros" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>techbros</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/dystopia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>dystopia</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/bluesky" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bluesky</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/mastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>mastodon</span></a></p>

It's a sign of the delusional self-confidence in their own mendacious powers that the tech oligarchs who are financing this idiotic idea insist on going with that branding anyway. Investigative reporters Vittoria Elliott and Caroline Haskins published an in-depth report on this scheme for Wired earlier this month. What immediately becomes clear is that what the Silicon Valley billionaire class considers 'freedom cities' is simply neo-feudalism, a plan to end the concept of citizenship and make every working person a serf whose entire life is controlled by the whims of their boss."</p><p><a href="https://www.salon.com/2025/03/17/the-dystopian-freedom-cities-dream-fueling-elon-musks-destruction/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">salon.com/2025/03/17/the-dysto</span><span class="invisible">pian-freedom-cities-dream-fueling-elon-musks-destruction/</span></a><br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PrepareToBeASerf" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PrepareToBeASerf</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NeoFeudalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NeoFeudalism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Dystopia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Dystopia</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DOGE" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DOGE</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BadDOGE" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BadDOGE</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/USPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USPol</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/TechBros" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TechBros</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/TechOligarchs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TechOligarchs</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Oligarchy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Oligarchy</span></a> <br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BellRiots" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BellRiots</span></a> anyone?

eddiebbot<p>Our society tends to regard as a "sickness" any mode of thought or behavior that is inconvenient for the system, and this is plausible, because when an individual doesn't fit into the system it causes pain to the individual as well as problems for the system. Thus the manipulation of an individual to adjust him to the system is seen as a "cure" for a "sickness" and therefore as good. --Ted Kaczynki, Technological Slavery (2010) <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/dystopia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>dystopia</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/technology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>technology</span></a></p>
