Commentators should please stop using words such as “digital” and “progress” and “efficiency” and “vision” when describing this coup attempt. The plotting oligarchs have legacy money from an earlier era of software, which they are now seeking to leverage, using destructive political techniques, to destroy human institutions. That’s it. They are offering no future beyond acting out their midlife crises on the rest of us. It is demeaning to pretend that they represent something besides a logic of destruction.

I love this idea. The former tech oligarchs have given up whatever claim they may have had to these words by collaborating in the current coup attempt. They are ordinary wealthy, greedy, and mad aspiring tyrants now, having chosen the path of countless past tyrants whose graves merit only urine today.

The digital? That's ours again. Vision? Ours. Progress? Also ours.
