This is the cognitive distance politicians need to have in order to be a good tool as a techno fascist for the exploitation-class.
What is a techno-fascist? What did I mis?
Fascists that enjoy techno music of course!
The specific kind of American Libertarian pseudo-fascists who look to technology to save us from everything.
Basically, the Managed Democracy of Super Earth from Helldivers. That sums it up pretty well. Fascism in its corporate-friendly, AI-run form where CEOs of tech-related companies have most of the real power outside the State.

Give the fetuses guns? With that work?
BigPharma should get in on this. Every American made fetus gets a free Armalite rifle seed that grows with the fetus. Name it too! /s
Why the fuck would you need to track pregnant people? Only to find and punish them when they go through an abortion huh?
now now, let’s be fair
it’s also so that evangelicals can ban recreational sex
…While masturbating furiously to incest porn on the internet.
Dont forget transfem porn.
just wait until they find transmasc porn
they don’t know that trans men exist
I’m sure they do, in an academic sense.
But it doesn’t fit the mental structure they’ve built to justify anti-trans bigotry, which is assembled on an scaffold of nominally trying to protect women from perverts.
Current right wing anti-trans sentiment is built on much of the same underlying ideas as the anti-trans part of 2nd wave trans-exclusive radical feminism:
- All men are dangerous, likely sexual predators.
- Sexual predators will do whatever they have to to pursue their prey.
- You cannot change your sex, and wanting to is either mental illness or a ploy.
- Women have a right to spaces that exclude men.
- Women in such spaces are likely to be in a more vulnerable position than elsewhere.
Therefore, sexually predatory men will play dress up and pretend to be women to get access to women’s spaces as a means to pursue prey.
If you accept all five of those points, then their view makes total sense (but at least half of those points are wrong, which is why it doesn’t make sense in reality).
It’s okay as long as their son is their masturbation buddy, like Mike Johnson’s son.

Precisely. They aren’t even trying to hide it. The wiring is on the tin.
I thought voting Dem in state/federal and voting with the heart for local was supposed to fix everything though.
Can someone who is good with politics explain to me why Dems are not fighting back against the slide into fascism?
Why are these states still receiving federal funding and welfare subsidies?
Why is the compromised and illegitimate Supreme Court still in power?
Why are blue states not sanctioning fascist states? (Yes I know feds prohibit commerce tariffs. Why are blue states just giving up instead of getting creative? Isn’t legislation their job?)
I would expect a database of gunowner with serial numbers and for each weapon a ballistics profile.
Makes sense. There is a database of people with permits to operate and all ownerships including VIN of vehicles… that’s not weird either.
Well, you see, the logic here is simple; gun ownership is a constitutionally protected right, and women don’t have rights.
I hate that you are right. I wish that we could say that the existence of the 9th counts just as much for the right to bodily autonomy but that’s not what these shit heads will agree to.
George Orwell would like to know if Oceania has always been pregnant
The only thing that can stop an abortion is an abortion with a gun /s
Let’s definitely not have either of those things.
Yes, but let’s do the gun one also.
No thanks. My state already has a list and I’m pretty sure the feds do too, but let’s not make it any easier on them in the event that we find ourselves in the “armed resistance” phase of fascism.
Just once Id like to meet a gun advocate that didn’t day dream about hypothetical scenarios where they get to use them.
We use them all the time to hunt for food. However, the weirdos that think they can rise up against the state are something else.
What if it isn’t the state so much as fascist militias that worry me the most? Is it ok to want weapons to defend myself and my friends from them?
Sure. Just make sure it’s as tightly regulated as say, cars.
Imagine a future, maybe January of 2025 and we start seeing laws classifying trans (or gay) people as mentally ill. Gun confiscations affecting only “undesirables”. People that actually really need those weapons for self defense. People that are harassed by ever emboldened fascist gangs. People the police treat dismissively at best.
I don’t love guns, or even have them for their own sake, or because of some dusty parchment written by hypocrites. I would love to live in a world where nobody has guns, but holy shit do we not live in such a world right now. I would urge you to reconsider your political priorities before you go harming (only) the people you probably want to help.
It’s not just “the state” writ large that concerns me. If you’ve been paying any attention the last few years, you may have noticed a rising trend in right wing violence. Fascist paramilitary groups have become increasingly emboldened and are rarely held to any account by the state. Left wing paramilitary groups have historically had a different experience altogether. Are you one of those people who are genuinely concerned that this might be “the last election”? If so, why would you want to risk giving this kind of data to a Trump administration?
