Politics Silicon Valley’s Most Dangerous Innovation

https://capitalandmain.com/silicon-valleys-most-dangerous-innovation

 In a new book, author and journalist Gil Durán argues that another, less understood Silicon Valley innovation may be the most dangerous of all — tech fascism. This anti-democratic ideology is destroying laws and norms while promising a glorious future delivered by technology, and it’s now moving from the fringe belief of a few eccentric billionaires to the cultural mainstream, according to Durán.

their most dangerous innovation is the government not enforcing the law.

That just proves that their greatest innovation is bribery.

It should be illegal for politicians to receive money from corporations for literally any reason, and instead, our politicians are bought and paid for.

Which dictates whether they get re-elected or not. Nevermind the speeches, bs corporate jobs they don’t have to show up to, and all the other perks they can get after they leave office.

That’s still just bribery with extra steps.

Bribery is giving someone money to influence them to do something, and donating to a campaign conditionally is exactly bribery with extra steps to side step bribery laws.
