it is true that transhumanism has a great deal of useful existentialist scifi and other philosophical underpinnings regarding our politicized bodies it is also true that white neoshaman techbros call themselves transhumanists because they drink giardia tainted raw water, thus Better Than You

"This is, in fact, a real form of transhumanism as it is actually practiced by one particular network or community." i don't know if there needs to be some "no true scotsman" to this when the concept / philosophy are used for vastly different ends with only the same phrasing

coopting popular aesthetics for demagoguery is their entire shtick. intentionally missing the point since they don't want to become greater than themselves and limitations of meatsack, they want to be seen as "great men" via showmanship and neurolinguistic processing confidence trickery

Right, I know the rhetoric has become more true to their overall goals, I just don't think the point has ever been stopping at "small government", and in good faith..

the name seems to evoke "heritage not hate" NeoConfederates but directly, Joseph Coors was a major player in the John Birch Society. i don't think their intentions ever sincerely rested at "small government" and creationism, they sure are chuffed to speak directly to their true goals

is there a significant difference between the long-term goals of "small government" orgs and "radicalized" orgs? rhetoric has been increasingly mask-off in cheering on self-coup but i'm sure similar "i want to make government small enough to drown in a bathtub" quotes existed before 2001.

A subtle degree of framing, "libertarian transhumanism" and fascism are 1:1 in creating supremacist narratives about how their bodies are better than other humans. CEOs love the white neoshamanist angle for their origin stories and why they're entitled to everything they desire, it's exhausting.

Why address when it's an opportunity to wedge reactionary "solutions" more likely gain a foothold over lose any as effects grow more visible? Perhaps misreading "break", but they live for doomerism which lets them direct followers' pain towards stated enemies.

Populists are skilled* at redirecting any disaster against the victims of it. Reactionaries leverage that through ecofascism. *In that it's their only tactic, so they have a lot of practice and systems of communication/information and people in general reward consistency over humanism.

Yeah, I feel the ballot-box discourse would be a tick less toxic if Dem leadership at the most high wasn't so allergic to rewarding gift and progress, over... loyalty? Not to people, or even party over wholly internal politics.

"whose fortune has depended on environmentalists" Was this ever true? He forced/bought his way into Tesla. Even after, his fortune depended on media hucksters selling the public on yet another Randian supergenius who would "fix" the environment by selling a product, not climate scientists.
