Rainer Mühlhoff in W&F 4/25 zu „Digitalem #Faschismus“: Welcher Zusammenhang besteht zwischen dem faschistoiden Potential der Politik der »Neuen Rechten« und ihrer Synergie mit elitistischen Tech-Ideologien? Lässt sich begründeterweise von einem digitalisierten Faschismus im neuen Gewand sprechen?

This sounds dystopian - tens of millions will be excluded, and will have to run from pillar to post.

With Special Intensive Revisions of the electoral rolls, and now with this digital census, citizenship of India and other rights have become alms thrown to the Indian people by the government. And these are alms that can be taken away for various reasons, these are alms one has to keep begging for periodically.

Government Says Census 2027 Will Be Conducted 'Digitally'

Junior home minister Nityanand Rai said that the government has planned "to collect data through Mobile Apps."

I could not hate Microsoft more. They’re working super hard to force you to use Edge, which is a shitty browser, now even shittier with unavoidable AI integration.

They want all access to everything you do and see and say. Not to make your life better, but to lock you in to monetize you for the rest of your life. #Microsoft #DigitalFascism

While obviously I don't know what's going on in the grizzled piece of hamburger Trump calls his brain, I think the other shoe just dropped after Trump's bizarrely timed firing of Librarian of Congress Carla Hayden last Thursday. Why? Because Trump just also fired one of Hayden's key appointees, Register of Copyrights Shira Perlmutter, mere days after her office released a report considered unfavorable to Broligarch fascist-owned AI companies.

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-fires-director-of-u-s-copyright-office-shira-perlmutter-sources/

Trump fires director of U.S. Copyright Office, sources say

"Democratic Rep. Joe Morelle of New York, ranking member of the Committee on House Administration, said in a statement that Perlmutter's firing was "a brazen, unprecedented power grab with no legal basis."

Morelle speculated that there was "surely no coincidence he acted less than a day after she refused to rubber-stamp Elon Musk's efforts to mine troves of copyrighted works to train AI models," in reference to the report released by the Copyright Office this week.

Last month, Musk took to his social media platform X to seemingly express support for the abolition of intellectual property laws. Musk also owns AI startup xAI, with which in February he submitted a failed bid to purchase OpenAI, the company that operates ChatGPT."

I think most observers in the media simply presumed Trump's firing of now former Librarian of Congress Carla Hayden was absurd fascist culture war stuff; as highlighted by the fact that numerous pro-Trump propagandists took to the media to justify her removal by implying Hayden was putting "bad, woke books" into the hands of children somehow - a hilariously false accusation because the Library of Congress is a reference archive of published books in America, and does not loan books out to children (or anyone else either.) As I've pointed out numerous times before however, these nazis use the whole cow, and it's now clear that removing Hayden was a set up play to clear the path for Trump to then fire Perlmutter on behalf of the billionaire tech bro fascists who paid to put Trump in the White House; not the least of whom is Trump's "first buddy" Elon Musk.

I suspect that folks who haven't been following the AI bubble closely have no idea how much money all the same fascist tech billionaires who literally think sacrificing humanity to get AI-created "gods" is an acceptable tradeoff, and a wealthy investor class that controls much of American politics, ultimately have invested in this scam. We're talking billions, if not trillions of dollars here, and a Trump administration report indicating that there are problems with just letting these companies steal every creative work in human history to further this business model, threatens those investments. Trump has fired a lot of people, for far less lucrative reasons; I see no valid excuse for Trump's behavior here aside from bog standard corruption. This is a lawless president engaging in a retaliatory firing on behalf of his billionaire cult of AI donors. Given that context, I think we can safely assume that Trump's next pick for Librarian of Congress will pick a pro-AI Register of Copyrights and as Musk desires, all US intellectual property law is now in danger.

The use of the word "#scam" is appropriate.

What if we told you the scam gets #inception-level deep. As in, while you use #AusPost your packets are decrypted by Amazo- (snip) we mean, #scamazon.

We should also point out the #Medibank was scam'azon, also. A point conveniently omitted from all #legacyMedia coverage that happened to find us.

„Therefore: communicative fascism posts that what is real is the opposite of social justice, and we now see the armies of ‚Social Injustice Warriors‘ as Sarah Sharma (2019) calls them, busy typing away at their keyboards to defend the rights to keep their fear of Others unchallenged and to protect their bigotry, misogyny, and racism from being debunked as inept constructions of themselves“ Langlois 2021:3 #fake #digitalfascism #trolls
