I think the 'broligarchy' is simply a reactionary response to a system that is overly derisive of tech...

As a Russian citizen who studied the Bolshevik revolution, the rhetoric and dehumanizing language in this article is disturbingly familiar – it mirrors the same attitudes Bolsheviks used against their "class enemies." While Russian media today employs similar tactics against Ukraine and the West, it's truly saddening to see this style of discourse becoming normalized on the global stage. When respected Western publications adopt the same divisive rhetoric they criticize others for using, it lowers the standards of public discourse for all nations. This normalization of hatred, regardless of its target, should concern anyone who has studied where such patterns historically lead.

I don't see how you can make such a comparison.

The article is a bit overdrawn in places -- but for whatever negative sentiment is expressing, it is directed entirely at specific politicians, who are fair game for such criticism, right?

Not against an entire country, or class of people.

Broligarchy versus Karenocracy; what a choice!

Amusingly, I’ve been following most of these rules for years from the opposite end of the political spectrum. Did Miss Cadwalladr forget that the bros used to be on her side? So I propose a rule 21:

21. Remind yourself “This too shall pass.”

It's not clear that this shall pass.

The Republicans have an overwhelming advantage on the Supreme Court. A goodly chunk of Project 2025 is dedicated to ensuring that they can further marginalize Democratic voters.

Yes, it won't last forever. But it can last for longer than I will be alive.

Weren't most or all of these just as true before the election and even before Musk bought twitter?

Some good points. Some more like paranoia.
