Thats a weird way of saying fascism
The idea isn’t necessarily tied to oligarchy or fascism or anything like that. It originates in the early ideals of the Internet where people hoped its anarchic energy could be a force for freedom. Things have not really shaken out like that, e.g. the net ended up being dominated by tech giants rather than a profileration of small websites, and China’s Great Firewall showed how states can put swathes of the internet under their thumb after all. But some of us still buy into some of that spirit (though the Network State idea itself is unrealistic). Heck, Lemmy and the Fediverse are a part of that.
what an outrageously obtuse and factually devoid take.
congrats, you win the award for worst oversimplification I’ve ever read.
you can’t do much with the award. Then again I can’t do much with whatever you posted, so I guess that makes us even.
I agree. Coming together to build something scientifical or technological that doesn’t involve the government doesn’t necessarily mean coming up with corporate money to fund and exclude everyone but their personal interests.
This is a social endeavor like any other. You can’t blaim bringing people together for the corporate interests of this kind of enterprise (the Network State).
Zuckerberg, go play with your BBS and let us worry about what needs to be discussed in this myopic, dystopic world.
Guess we can consider that a confession.
Hrmm. I wonder why they would censor such a conspiratorial idea? Unless…
In modern day the difference between tin foil conspiracy and out right conspiracy appears to be about 6 months
We are already living in a country being run by Elon Musk.
Tesla tubby is illegitimate parasite leeching on American government and taxpayer…
Federal government needs to consume some ivermectin
Peter thiel* is a bigger puppet master, he just doesn’t want to be the face. He wants the world to collapse so he can rebuild it into his techno feudalism dream. This is all to plan
Now I know what Alex Jones would say if he were on the left

Delete your facebook products.
If you know someone who works at facebook, try to convince them to leave.
If you see someone who’s in a leadership position at Facebook bleeding out, perhaps after a car accident because their brakes were sabotaged, let them die.
i wish. if i delete whatsapp ill be completely isolated. sadly they cornered the entire market in my country including sms.
it would unironically take a big outage for everyone to move though. heres hoping an industrious hacker is willing to paint that kind of target on their own back.
i’ve been trying to get people to switch platforms for years. it’s not easy. if only people cared more about things than they want convenience…
The Network State is just feudalism updated to accommodate a new set of vile and toxic elitist shitheads.
I am just hearing the end of 2112 by Rush, the guitars and effects wailing as a vocoded voice repeats ‘WE HAVE ASSUMED CONTROL’…
To be fair, American democracy was replaced with corporate Government a long long time ago.
Ya, but now you can’t talk about it.
America was never a democracy in the first place
Preventing cheating in elections is impossible (LoOk aT 2020!!!11), so to ensure a fair democratic process, we’ll automatically choose the outcome of elections with AI models trained on American social media posts.
any terminally ill people down to go down in history as a fucking chad with a rifle or a drone?? anyone??
