How to Rise up and Unite Against Tech Oligarchy

We are being slowly ground to dust by tech billionaires who will use our ashes as biofuel for their penis-shaped space rockets that they will fly to Mars, where they plan on restarting humanity with their seed and live forever with the help of AI technology.

I wish I were joking, but this is the bat-shit plan of Silicon Valley sociopaths, such as Elon Musk. In the meantime, their useful, corrupt idiot, Donald Trump, has decided to sell America to the highest bidder and go all-in with dangerous technology that threatens to destroy humanity. This is his response to Anthropic workers-turned-whistleblowers and prominent politicians calling for AI regulation.

Do you feel comforted?

Earlier today, ProPublica published a blockbuster piece revealing that Donald Trump’s loser son’s wedding was subsidized, in part, by a billionaire Russian oligarch. Over the weekend, Forbes announced that the Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick doubled his net worth thanks to his investment in Tether, the largest issuer of stablecoins. Speaking of cryptocurrency and Ponzi schemes, the Trump family has made billions through World Liberty Financial, their crypto firm.

The world’s worst people are profiting off of our misery.

However, people are waking up and fighting back.

Tech workers in Silicon Valley and beyond are helping lead the effort. For the past decade, employees have begun organizing and protesting against their sociopathic Silicon Valley bosses upon learning their work was being used to help fascists, war, and genocide. They’ve notched several impressive wins. Now, a majority of Americans have become radicalized against AI data centers and techno-fascist billionaires.

The timing couldn’t be more perfect for Clarissa Redwine and JS Tan’s new book, Against Tech Oligarchy: Worker Resistance In The World's Most Powerful Industry. It’s an inside story of tech workers across America who are increasingly defying their billionaire bosses and fighting back against their fascist agenda.
