Finished it last night, a usedul catalogue of billionaire weirdness. I was genuinely impressed by the term "Tech Fascism". But my 2 cents? Lots of polemics, but lacks in proper back breaking evidence.
Lol also how does every book becone a New York Bestseller. #TechFascism
Since Oct 7th 2023, there have been huge escalations in the relationship between Silicon Valley + Israel.
New funds, new firms. Israel's VCs, startups, weapons moving across the world. Israeli war criminals brought into Silicon Valley in force.
Israel x Silicon Valley = death
Major updates to the vcinfodocs report on venture capital and the genocide.
Weapons R&D, expansion of Israel's tech industry, the growing fusion of Israeli and Silicon Valley venture capital firms...
These dynamics are at the heart of tech fascism. ⏬
Shanley Kane was writing about tech fascism years before The Nerd Reich. So why is her work missing from the conversation around the book?
Who gets cited, whose ideas reach mainstream audiences, and whose work gets left out? Give credit where it’s due.

The Nerd Reich by Gil Duran: a book about the dangers of intellectual conformity, written in an internet culture where apparently even the originality allegations need footnotes.
Shanley Kane deserves a spot in the acknowledgements at this point.
