The people getting fired from the federal government aren’t just DEI human resource types …. Very bad take.

I was a little disappointed that you did not place bets on when Trump would trot out the generals and publicly execute them on the DC Mall.

Really appreciated this episode and the two linked articles. I agree with Ganz. I also think there are conditions that moved the Silicon Valley tech bros to the right which happened under Biden (let's remember that once Musk supported Obama). But yes super scary especially with the potential confrontation with China, their support for right wing movements on a global scale, technology and the ability to use it to push more authoritarianism. But I also think about how the tech right is not monolithic and there are divisions and tensions.

And one other thing should we see some revolutionary potential in the figure of the proletarianized former lanyard, let down by liberal leaders who were ment to protect them permanently emitted with the right for denying them the life they thought they had?

I'm just relieved the down to the countryside aspect of the destruction of the state has been noticed by some one else, but we should talk that idea further. Even if we doubt the tech we should understand the AI/LLM mania is basically hoping to liquidate whole swathes of private sector workers as well.
