> heck even Microsoft are all supporters of "technofascism"
replyno one in their right mind is going to argue with that, not sure what your point is
Microsoft, a company mostly centered in the Pacific Northwest, is not exactly full of right wingers: https://www.opensecrets.org/orgs/microsoft-corp/summary?id=d...
reply> By that standard, though, Boeing, Lockheed Martin, Booz Allen Hamilton, heck even Microsoft are all supporters of "technofascism".
replycertainly! fascism requires industry that cooperates with the state to produce the means of control; these are all companies that do exactly that!
By this logic, Ford and Boeing were contributing to technofascism when they were building tanks and planes for the Allies in WWII.
replyI don't think that most would agree with your understanding of technofascism.
Ford propped Nazis in WW2, maybe that’s why you can’t put your finger on it.
replyAnd Boeing? And General Motors? And the hundreds of other companies that produced armarments?
replyThey’ve been paving the path to the main US industry -> weapons. You gotta do what you gotta do to turn the profit. But you guys have also sacrificed a lot of human life.
replySo your answer is yes? The companies like GM, Cadillac, etc. they were buildings tanks to defeat the Nazis were themselves fascists, because producing armarments is an inherently fascist endeavor? Even if the military they're equipping is actively fighting against real fascists?
replyThere were fascist elements in what allies were doing to defeat fascism.
