Gil Duran: Silicon Valley's Fake Christianity Enables Tech Genocide (The Nerd Reich) [View all]
https://www.thenerdreich.com/silicon-valleys-fake-christianity-enables-tech-genocide/
I recently joined Paris Marx on the Tech Wont Save Us podcast. We discussed how Peter Thiel is putting a Christian mask on tech accelerationist ideas, why Silicon Valley is trying to claim the mantle of Christianity while violating everything for which Christ stood, and how tech billionaires are like an alien invasion that poses an existential threat to humankind.

On Elon Musks cutting of USAID:
The USAID cuts are Silicon Valley genocide. If 14 million people die, which is what the Lancet projects, that's more than double what Hitler killed in the Holocaust. And it's being done through policy, unnecessary policy, unwise policy.
On the need to ban and stigmatize crypto:
The crypto thing is a real problem, and I think a thing that needs to happen is we need to stigmatize crypto very strongly. It must become unacceptable for Democrats to accept crypto money. If a Democrat is accepting crypto money, they are buying into a dark, anti-American, anti-democratic vision of the future. And if you don't believe me, well then ask them: exactly what is crypto for, Senator? Exactly what is crypto for, Representative? Can you explain to me why anybody needs this? To hedge against the failure of the dollar? Well, isn't it your job to make sure the dollar doesn't fail?

Gil's Bluesky posts about this today:
Donald Trump is showing us what's possible.
Anything is possible.
The president can send troops into cities.
The president can make billion off of crypto in plain sight.
The president can tear down an entire section of the White House and build an Epstein ballroom.

Elon Musk can give a Hitler salute at the inauguration and get a trillion dollars.
Peter Thielâthe most likely candidate for Antichristâcan go around the world calling everyone else the Antichrist.
We can do anything, too.
And we can do it for good, not for evil.

In all the storiesâin the Bible, in Lord of the Rings, science fictionâthere's a good side and there's a bad side of the same energy.
So let's understand the power, the force, of âhyperstition,â and let's start putting it to use sooner rather than later.

Itâs time to reclaim the future from the billionaires who seek their destiny in our destruction.
