Sam Altman's latest brain worm -- to ensure that humans will remain "special and central" in the AI era. The Orb that will scan all the nooks/crannies of your iris and then provide you "inviolable proof of your humanity: a 12,800-digit binary number, known as an iris code." What could go wrong?

Just your daily reminder: fascism works by breaking the institutions of civil society that could provide sources of belonging, meaning, solidarity, and truth outside of the state/leader. In this demolition project, the universities come first.

Ah, yes. "Adding to the conversation... in the right way". The well-known pedagogical principle of "nobody should ever be uncomfortable about anything, ever." I'm only surprised they haven't turned over admissions entirely to the civility-algorithm, at the behest of the ed-tech industrial complex.

“It is more important to prop up a parasite, planet-destroying industry than to uphold generations of existing law. Also, fuck actual creators of ideas lol.”

And here it is. The core article of faith that binds the far right now. The fantasy that all social ills ultimately stem from one root cause: anti-white hatred. This is the master key to their basic worldview of persecution, victimhood, and grievance. The fuel that fires their politics of rage.

JD Vance, the guy who publicly declared that “professors are the enemy”. Now launching a full PR campaign against the American university system. Very healthy nation that definitely values education.

New movie pitch. Where Sam Altman is marooned on a desert island with nothing but his always-on nightmare device in his pocket to suggest and prod and pester him without relief for all eternity.

Hypernormalization -- when we all "carry on" in the midst of institutional dismantling and social dysfunction. And yet this lens leaves out the essential question for fascist times: what about all those who aren't just carrying on as normal -- but who actively delight in the chaos and dysfunction? 🧵

With Trump platforming the “white genocide” fantasy on the highest stage, it is quickly being mainstreamed as right-wing doctrine — the malignant fiction of a hidden race war, where white folk have been (and will be) displaced/eliminated from their homes/nations. Elite cues matter.

Yep. Mass shooter ideology, long honed and disseminated in the most virulent white supremacist circles. Circulated broadly in Elon's far right radicalization chamber. Now platformed at the highest level, by the nation's highest elected official. White supremacist fantasy and blueprint for violence.

It's not just Trump raving in the Oval Office about the far right fantasy of "white genocide". They've started promoting the fantasy right through the official White House website. White supremacists are doing cartwheels right now. This is their dream.

The thing about the Dem effort to find "a blue Joe Rogan" is that the phenomenon they're trying to capture well exceeds a single charismatic podcaster. Rogan himself represents the peak of a broad right-wing media ecosystem that's been patiently built, funded, and expanded over decades. 🧵

The president of the United States has basically degenerated into your racist uncle at the Thanksgiving table -- ranting about "white genocide", forcing everyone to watch white panic videos on his phone, and passing around printouts from Stormfront. Really healthy.

Exactly what you’d expect from a man who claimed crime could be solved by “one real rough, nasty… violent day” of police violence. Exactly what you’d go for if you wanted the police to function more like the Proud Boys.

Exactly how university presidents should be received when they betray institutional integrity, academic freedom, and the welfare/safety of their students.

We laugh and shake heads at this now. But once run through the far right narrative machine/media ecosystem, this is how half the nation will soon define habeas corpus. This is how fascism works -- by deforming & polluting the core values of liberal democracy, until even they serve/feed state power.

The right wing mega-influencers in lockstep: the admin should “ignore the Supreme Court. Deport every illegal. Arrest anyone and everyone who tries to stop you.” Because every fash regime needs its fash cheering section.

This, friends, is what we call regulatory capture. An industry extracting the greatest possible profit from our shared world, hollowing and deforming its core institutions, while wrapped in the thinnest veneer of public accountability.
