There's no too late because we still have to live with however this plays out. And if we fight now, more people get to live through it, hopefully.🙏

Both sides-ism is Russian propaganda. Dems suck sometimes, but in many cases it's for normal, understandable reasons and not because they're fascist bigots like most Republican electeds.

...they're opposed to it on principle. Actions speak louder than words and their actions indicate a disregard for maintaining Democracy and protecting the environment, which puts them in line with at least certain aspects of the Neo-reactionary movement.

...that all techlords are the same. You're nitpicking wording, but the main point of the article is the threat these men pose to Democracy and the future of humanity, which is completely valid. Also, just because Gates and Cook haven't publicly stated their support for the movement doesn't mean...
WakeMeWhenItsOver🗳 (@zelbel.bsky.social) reply parent
None of them are allies, they're all focused on themselves. I also think it's naive to think that Cook and Gates haven't been affected by the pervasive Silicon Valley ideologies, including neo-reactionism. I agree the article could have phrased things better, but I still don't see it as a claim...
WakeMeWhenItsOver🗳 (@zelbel.bsky.social) reply parent
The article doesn't claim that Cook and Gates specifically ascribe to Yarvin's philosophy, but they do establish that the techlords are a threat to Democracy and humanity's future in the face of climate change. I fail to see how any of that is untrue.

French President Emmanuel Macron’s decision to recognize a Palestinian state, prompting similar moves from other Western nations, angered Israel and its U.S. ally by putting a two-state solution back at the heart of diplomatic efforts to end the devastating war in Gaza.

Cook donating to Trump is a vote of support for dismantling our Democracy and Gates is the OG techlord. Maybe he's not as crazy as the others, but he sure is happy to jump on the AI bandwagon, mine customers' info and exercise a problematic influence over politics. Here's just one example:

Bill Gates was a friend of Epstein before his death and has tried to impose his will on our Democracy for decades. Tim Cook donated $1 Million to Trump and gave him a gold plaque as tribute. They absolutely are "techlords", along with the rest.
