        *technofascist

        All I can think about is how Israel’s AI targeting program (lavender) is coming to a leftist near you. Combine with ukraines AI drones and we have a technofascist future where dissent gets removed permanently. Instead of banning your account they’ll be banning your life.

          They’ve always been the same thing. If you took the concept of a technocracy at its most idealized form it’s still innately undemocratic.

          It might, possibly, work, but it’s still authoritarian in nature.

          But technofascist does strip their veneer of being actual engineers away I suppose, so it definitely has benefits.

            To the uninitiated technocrat sounds like techno democrat - techno democracy. It doesn’t sound that bad. Technofascist doesn’t have the same muddiness - it’s clear what they are.
