Session
What kind of fascism are we facing today, and how do tech corporations enable its emergence? This talk explores techno-fascism as a system of power driven by technology, desire, and militarized futures. It traces Silicon Valley’s turn toward state and military collaboration, analyzes sex and intimacy as tools of governance, and asks how this demands new forms of resistance and (self-)defense.
