@gilduran to @thorbenson in a interview for #DepthPerception about his new book, "The Nerd Reich: Silicon Valley Fascism & the War on Democracy":
"I believe it’s becoming one of the defining stories of American history — the effort by Silicon Valley venture capitalists to seize control of the nation & essentially roll back democracy.
...I think we’re in a phase right now where we need to make people aware of exactly what’s happening & why it’s happening. In my book, I point the finger at these evil oligarchs, but we’re complicit in that. We’re giving them all of our attention & our money.
...We have to rethink how everything has been structured around us. We deserve technology. It’s something we, I think, have a right to. But right now, it’s being controlled by a smaller & smaller group of people who have the worst ideas for the future, who see a dystopian future."

The Nerd Reich Author Gil Duran: “People Are Waking Up to This Fascist Threat.”
“I think my book is upsetting some people.” – Gil Duran
Posted by Jerry Alatalo | August 18, 2026
[Editor’s note: The Democracy Now interview of journalist-author Gil Duran is at the same time brilliant, necessary, – and horrifying. One gets the strong feeling or sense that Mr. Duran’s timely and important book, The Nerd Reich, will quickly become a bestseller, and join the ranks of such hugely-influential, must-read books as Confessions of an Economic Hit Man by John Perkins, A People’s History of the United States by Howard Zinn, The Media Monopoly by Ben Bagdikian, In Search of Enemies by John Stockwell, Deadly Deceits by Ralph McGehee, When Corporations Rule the World by David Korten, Titans of Capital by Peter Phillips and others. Please share this important interview of Gil Duran far and wide. Please feel free to share your thoughts in the comments. Thank you very much. Peace.]
Description of the book, The Nerd Reich:
“This transfixing debut from journalist Durán investigates the antidemocratic ideologies espoused by tech billionaires linked to the second Trump administration…It’s an ominous look at an insular elite arrayed against American democracy.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review)
A fearless and urgent chronicle of the tech-authoritarian movement from its early days in San Francisco politics to its current moment on the international stage, exploring the wild and dystopian ambition of the technocrats at its center, and offering a road map to resistance.
When Silicon Valley says it is ‘‘moving fast and breaking things,’’ the world interprets the chaos as a necessary cost of innovation. Gil Durán reveals something far more sinister: a decades-long campaign to replace elected governments with corporate rule.
Drawing on insider political experience and new investigations, Durán traces this ideology from its philosophical roots in The Sovereign Individual by James Dale Davidson and Lord William Rees-Mogg. He introduces its modern apostles—Peter Thiel, Marc Andreessen, Balaji Srinivasan, and Elon Musk—and shows how the promise of technological liberation has transformed into a global movement for digital feudalism, powered by cryptocurrency, artificial intelligence, and the algorithmic propaganda of social media.
The Nerd Reich explains the origins, strategies, and ambitions of Silicon Valley’s war on democracy for the first time. From San Francisco’s weaponized elections and secret billionaire projects to the White House, Durán exposes how the world’s richest men are building a new political order.
The Nerd Reich is more than a hidden history, it’s an urgent warning: democracy is being dismantled not by coups or tanks, but by code, capital, and the illusion of innovation. Durán insists there is still time to fight back—if we act now.Democracy Now:
A new book by longtime Bay Area journalist Gil Durán investigates “tech fascism” and its mounting influence on U.S. politics. The Nerd Reich: Silicon Valley Fascism and the War on Democracy follows the rise of Vice President JD Vance, the former venture capitalist whose “outsider” campaign for Senate was bankrolled by the billionaire co-founder of PayPal and Palantir, Peter Thiel. Durán traces the ideological lineage of the current Trump administration back from Vance to Thiel and the far-right-wing monarchist Curtis Yarvin, whose “right-libertarian” political theory has long made the rounds among Silicon Valley elite. “These guys were never libertarians,” says Durán. “Now that they are the government, we see their true face: They’re fascists, and they’re authoritarians.”

*️⃣ Curtis Yarvin ist „der Mann, der in seinen «Unqualified Reservations» amüsiert vorgeschlagen hatte, «unproduktive Mitglieder der Gesellschaft» zu «Biodiesel zu verarbeiten», der über den Massenmörder Anders Breivik zu sagen wusste: «Wenigstens hat er Kommunisten und keine Muslime erschossen»“. Eben dieser #CurtisYarvin wurde nach St. Gallen eingeladen, um dort „in prominenter Runde über die Zukunft des Westens“ zu referieren. Schade, dass dafür eine Bühne geboten wird.

The Nerd Reich | Peter Thiel Flees to Argentina by Gil Duran
AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.
Peter Thiel, co‑founder of PayPal and Palantir, has bought a $12 million mansion in Buenos Aires’ upscale Barrio Parque and plans to stay in Argentina for several months, meeting president Javier Milei and the foreign minister. The move follows warnings from tech‑fascist thinker Curtis Yarvin that Silicon Valley allies should be ready to leave the United States if Democrats regain power, and it aligns with Thiel’s “Dark Enlightenment” belief in an alliance of autocrats and AI‑accelerationists that predicts a 21st‑century collapse of nation‑states. His relocation adds to a string of doomsday‑focused actions, including acquiring New Zealand citizenship and a Maltese passport, and comes as Palantir faces backlash for a fascist‑leaning manifesto while other tech leaders prepare for societal upheaval. The article frames Thiel’s Argentine venture as part of a broader strategy to hedge against anticipated economic and political chaos driven by advanced technologies.

From the article:
Vice President JD Vance’s ties to the far-right have been well-reported—from writing a promotional blurb in a book from Pizzagate conspiracy theorist Jack Posobiec (who has mocked the Holocaust and repeatedly used the neo-Nazi “1488” dogwhistle) to his reported friendship with neo-monarchist Curtis Yarvin (who has written that there’s “nothing wrong with a military coup" and “jokingly” advocated converting the poor of San Francisco into biodiesel). Vance’s far-right connections on X (formerly known as Twitter), however, have been less well-covered.
The Vice President started following Yarvin on X in April 2025, but this activity is not an outlier, Decoherence Media has found. Besides Yarvin and alleged sex trafficker Andrew Tate, J.D. Vance follows several far-right or antisemitic accounts on X—ranging from influential voices in the “new-right” like Bronze Age Pervert, to smaller operations like Rogue Scholar Press, an independent publisher that publishes books by fascist and proto-fascist authors.
Yarvin and Tate are public figures, but many of the accounts followed by Vance are pseudonymous and lack any public profile beyond their activity on X.

Salut #fediverse !
Me voilà de retour après quelques mois d'absence suite à un crash de mon instance perso (mise à jour de #Glitchsoc qui était vérolée... Arrgh).
Comme j'étais bien occupé, je n'avais pas pris le temps ni le soin de revenir...
La bonne nouvelle, c'est que, visiblement, #mastodon and co, ça ne rend pas accro et/ou dépendant•e !
Petit plaisir d'arriver et de tomber sur un post de @finnmyrstad qui nous partage une excellente illustration de l'enshittification ou emmerdification en good french !
Comme je ne l'ai pas trouvé ailleurs que sur Vimeo 🤮 , je l'ai déposé sur une instance Peertube.
https://video.liberta.vip/w/4ZrbKqU5UCBVhqQuAQZHLs
C'est vraiment excellent et cela mériterait d'être traduit dans tout plein de langue pour que le concept soit pleinement accessible au plus grand nombre.
J'ai récemment terminé un excellent bouquin « Les lumières sombres - Comprendre la pensée Néoréactionnaire » ** (sur les auteurs des #darkenlightment ) d'Arnaud Miranda** !
https://www.gallimard.fr/catalogue/les-lumieres-sombres/9782073140326
Juste après #Apocalypsenerds Nastasia Adjadi et d'Olivier Tesquet, ça donne de véritables clés de lecture des « logiques à l'oeuvre » (si si il y en a quand on sait ce que peuvent écrire des #CurtisYarvin et autre #NickLand notamment...)
C'est vraiment deux livres à lire pour les personnes qui sont ici et qui entendent tout la journée que #DonaldTrump est fou.

Au plaisir, mais surtout au plaisir de se voir dans la rue, dans les luttes ! ✊✊✊

Article in The New Yorker on how Nick Land has ‘has reemerged as one of the most influential reactionary thinkers of our time.’ And yet is also very much yesterday’s man. “They sounded like old fogeys,” said podcaster Justin Murphy, host of a 2020 LA conversation between Land and Curtis Yarvin, another influential neo-reactionary - an event that was also attended by Peter Theil. “We’ll remember this night as proof that the Dark Enlightenment is over.”

@axeln
Die Serie "How I met your mother" hat das ja mal satirisch aufgegriffen, indem sie den skrupellosen Wallstreet-Banker Barney wortwörtlich sagen lässt, dass er in sämtlichen Genres immer für die Bösen war. Er hat sogar als "Running Gag" ne lebensgroße Sturmtruppler-Figur im Wohnzimmer. Inzwischen bestätigt sich in mir der Gedanke, dass die Serienmacher damit auf bestimmte Tendenzen bei Finanzlobby und Co hinweisen wollten 😬 -
"And they will create these perfect cities in Greenland and other places, not making this up. And then, of course, what ties together other folks and ties together all these people is white supremacy. That's what ties together Russell Vought. That's what ties together Stephen Miller. That's what ties together Elon Musk. At the end of the day, power must be in the hands of the white man."

@ApostateEnglishman @fsinn They have been waiting for years, since the Clinton presidency, to control the presidency and they knew that Trump was pliable and easy. They had an ally in Bush 2’s VP Cheney who did some of it. 47’s not in control, it’s Stephen Miller, Russell Vought and the rest of the Nazis in #project2025 #curtisyarvin #menciusmoldbug

Assuming the USA recovers from its fascist trajectory, I hope the Americans focus on dismantling the techno-fascists like Thiel and Musk.

The movement to ditch democracy in favour of start-up cities run by CEOs
Dark Enlightenment founder Curtis Yarvin says equating democracy with 'good government' is wrong
In 2008, the American software engineer Curtis Yarvin posted an online pamphlet, under his pen name Mencius Moldbug. It was entitled Patchwork: A Political System for the 21st Century.
Mencius, for the record, was the name of a Chinese Confucian philosopher (c 300 BCE), who held that people should have the power to overthrow an unjust ruler. The name is telling, given the tenor of his pamphlet. Like so much of the early blogosphere, it read like a rambling, late-night coffee-and-ketamine diatribe about politics and what ails modern America, until it finally hit its punchline:
'The basic idea of Patchwork,' wrote Yarvin/Moldbug, is that governments can and should be replaced by 'a global spiderweb of tens, even hundreds, of thousands of sovereign mini-countries, each governed by its own joint-stock corporation without regard to the residents’ opinions.'
In other words, democracy should be dumped. And in its place: corporate-run states would compete for citizens on the open market — and if those citizens were unhappy, they could simply pick up and move somewhere else.
Think of it, Yarvin went on, 'as a modified version of monarchy.' His philosophy was the basis for what he later called the Dark Enlightenment: an anti-democratic state ruled by a CEO-style leader or a monarch.
(. . .)
So what is the long term aim of the Dark Enlightenment?
Ultimately, the vision is a world ruled by Big Tech and their investors.
According to Margaret O’Mara, a former policy analyst for Al Gore and author of The Code: Silicon Valley and the Remaking of America, people bankrolling experiments in Dark Enlightenment projects, especially the deep pockets in Silicon Valley, 'don’t really care what happens to the government.'
'If it all just blows up and goes sideways, it doesn't matter, because at the end of the day, what [Silicon Valley is] looking for is tech to rule above all.'
O’Mara says tech billionaires have put their faith in AI and the tools and platforms they are building, more than ideas like democracy and any kind of social contract.
So what happens to the rest of us who are not part of the Silicon Valley world, or who don’t care to be ruled by a CEO or monarch as in Mencius Moldbug’s model, who reject Dark Enlightenment?
O’Mara answered dryly: 'I don’t think they’re thinking about the rest of us.'"
