Conservatives loves AI because they see it as it is: not a technology, but a political framework to force their ideology on everyone

AI is first and foremost a political artefact: https://tante.cc/2026/04/21/ai-as-a-fascist-artifact/

If by “conservatives” you mean the Vance/Thiel/Yarvan crowd, sure.

A literal network of child traffickers, fraudsters, traitors, religious lunatics, and foreign agents brought to us by rich assholes like Eric Schmidt.

I am no fan of the tech bros, but this is a trash heap of an article.

First of all, it's ultra ironic that someone who is supposedly critical of big tech uses woke terminology ("marginalized people"). Big corpos basically created wokism: Thousands of Employee Resource Groups busy with "marginalized people-issues" are far more preferable to unions.

And this example of western "fascism" is peak hypocrisy:

"Ask an image generator for a picture of two people kissing and you most often get a heterosexual couple, often white. Because that’s what the training data looks like. That makes “AI” perfect for creating the form of idealized, fictional “past” that fascists love to allude to"

Ask anyone on the street in a "non-white" country to draw a couple, and your chances to get a picture of a heterosexual one would be probably greater than what ChatGPT would put out. AI generators regularly putting out pictures of what a typical CCC-lecturer looks like today, THAT would be pure western imperialism.

"People in power, people with money – most of them men – get to make the decisions."

Today's fighters against big tech are themselves completely enshrouded in the worldview that big corpos created in the first place.

okay bro, perhaps open a book and learn a bit. The "woke" terminology was coined by researchers. Studying actual subjects. Backed by research.
