There is something about hacking that makes it a sort of anti-authority, counter-culture activity. In the event of a fascist coup, in whatever country, or even the entire western neoliberal order, I feel this deeply, that hackers would be at the forefront of the resistance. There’s something about sitting in a room and taking something apart to understand how it works that feels incompatible with fascism. I’m not exactly sure how to articulate it, but it exists.
Tldr: it has EVERYTHING to do with hacking
- krageon 8y agoThere are many, many hackers gainfully employed in the deepest, darkest recesses of every government. I think directly saying that it is incompatible with fascism is a bit of a stretch, although I do agree that it is a nice thought.
