Folks, there is a trend here. An anti-authoritarian wave is building; these are the cycles of history. For the long view, I refer people to the resistance chapter of #Strongmen to read how these cycles have unfolded in the past. - Ruth Ben-Ghiat (@ruthbenghiat) July 7, 2024
Once a fascist government captures the state it can be really difficult to get rid off it, especially from the inside.
And resistance isn a surveillance state is really fucking difficult. And the advances of surveillance are getting better by the second. AI will know you harbor rebellious thoughts by the way your eyes hover over certain news headlines. Good luck organising that resistance then.
