Look, I know things aren't the best they can be, but this vision from Balaji on a gray tribe takeover of San Francisco is terrifying. Big horseshoe theory energy here, unaware of how fascist it sounds.

Blockchain Radical: How capitalism ruined crypto and how to fix it

https://linktr.ee/blockchainradicals

Right! Misused it a bit. It's from the perspective of perceiving the status quo as already fascist (which it isn't) and then thinking that the solution is to install your own fascism.

Agreed although idk if it's horseshoe theory or anything, just run of the mill techno-fascism which has often tried to portray itself as progressive

I think it's ridiculous to think that a stronger police force could clean up the streets. The homeless subculture is strong in SF with roots going back to the Okies and tramps of the Depression. These people just want to be free. The techies have only made the situation worse there. Blocking off streets will not help

Tbh, I believe that most of Balaj’s ideas lean towards techno-fascism dressed up in nice clothes.

e/acc right curve.
