       Did you know IBM helped Hitler carry out the Holocaust? Is it in any way surprising that we can’t do anything about Big Tech and toxic oligarchs like Elon Musk when even those who helped carry out one of the worst tragedies in human history remain unpunished? Should it come as a shock that the very same bastards are funding and pining for fascism today?https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=1rhzge9r6k4#BigTech #fascism #SiliconValley #ventureCapital #surveillance #capitalism #peopleFarming #BigData #AI

       @aral Fully agree. Small tech is to me equivalent to the crypto-anarchist hacktivist fight and fundamental & applied researches we are conducting against "complexity" of digital systems hardware and software. It's the same. cc @theruran @50htz @mediapart

       @aral There is a book about it: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_and_the_Holocaust

       @aral I've seen it but one and that just a fleeting second:My memory says I saw a clear Westinghouse logotype on a human-size oven's door at an extermination camp. But, as we know, memories can be faulty.

       @gytisrepecka Yes, we live in a swamp, I don’t control everything, and I don’t have infinite time. If you want to do something about it, re-upload it to a PeerTube instance and share the link with us all. Or criticise me about it after you’ve invested the amount of time working to raise awareness about this system and creating alternatives to it that I have. About ten years should suffice.

       @aral Just more proof that large corpos only care about profit, no matter the cost.

       @aral  Henry Ford bankrolled Hitler probably as early as 1921 or so. I’ve seen the archive New York Times article where people were wondering how our friend Adolf could afford to hold rallies and have very nice appointments in his offices in the midst of hyper inflation. They had a mutual admiration thing going on. When pressed, Ford’s representatives declined to openly say if  they were supporting him financially.

       @aral We paid reparations to Ford after blowing up his factories building Nazi war machines.The only rich people the USA has ever properly stood up to were wearing crowns in the 1700s.

       @aral Me: *looks up this apparently outrageous claim*Also me: *learns something new today*That shit is wild. But you had bankers from JP Morgan celebrating Moussilini and heck, even old man Koch had business interests in Germany. Rich people care about money, making and keeping their money. Business ethics isn't a thing. They love the idea that someone will control the working class, keep them quiet, keep them from organizing, so they can continue to abuse them.

       ^^^ Is a brilliant talk, tying together the issues of #climatechange #privacy, and #democracy. @aral if you are going to be in Poland for a while, I would love to talk, or listen to another one of your talks.   I live in Katowice. I have lots of questions.
