Four senior executives at Palantir, Meta, and OpenAI have been formally appointed lieutenant colonels in the US Army following the creation of a “special” unit created for rich Big Tech mavens seeking military leadership roles.

That just sounds like fascism done by pretentious techbros. “Dark Enlightenment” is just them trying to make it sound more mysterious than the absolute idiocy that it is.

I’ll continue to say this every time that I see it. Feudalism. It’s just feudalism (or maybe neo-feudalism, with “neo” in relation to time period). Nothing about it is new. Nothing about it is really predicated on technology. Feudalism and similar mono/oligargic systems have always used available technology to oppress.
The only thing that they’re doing different is not bothering with “divine right” and being slightly more honest in that they believe having money makes the better. But that’s also been done before. No need to slap “techno” on the front of it to make it seem like it’s a unique situation that’s never been attempted before. They’re just another group of egotistical shitheads who have convinced themselves that they are special, unique, and superior, when they are none of these things. Just like all of the rest of the would-be kings in history.
