This is a culture problem, which makes it more dangerous (actually). I don’t believe that there are deliberately coordinated efforts to usher in a new era of governance. I think there are fantasies of doing as much, hence technofascism. These billionaire bastards are just opportunists, though, with far too much power and far too much common interest.
The “more sinister power” is your economic system. It’s taken on the role of “the man behind the curtain.” Now, you have no one to wag your finger at.
Intelligence agencies are interwoven with the billionaire class. This isn’t at all a secret. SpaceX, Oracle, AWS, Azure, … they all support defense contracts. Are we to believe defense doesn’t include intelligence? The people procuring these deals are the billionaire class, and as such the billionaire class is interwoven with intelligence agencies.
The US has backpedaled norms to a point where it’s corrupt by default. Good luck.
I don’t know, man.
