The image shows a group of people standing outdoors in front of a building. The ground is covered with gravel, and there is a solar panel on the ground to the left. In the center, there is a golden-colored object with a conical top, resembling a lantern or a decorative item. The people are standing in a line, with some children and adults visible. The individuals are wearing a variety of clothing, including traditional garments and casual wear. The building in the background has a simple, utilitarian design with a concrete facade and a small porch area. The sky is clear, suggesting it is either early morning or late afternoon. The faces of the people are obscured by blue rectangles, indicating that their identities are not to be disclosed.

Essay: Refusing Tech Fascism · "We are only at the very beginning of conceptualizing anti-fascist tech, but the task is more urgent than ever." @tante@tldr.nettime.org

Refusing Tech Fascism goes beyond blowing up a data center or moving infrastructure towards open source systems. It demands more than making better individual choices or enacting regulations to curb the worst effects of our current technologies. It requires the willingness to let go of what the late David Golumbia called the "Cultural Logic of Computation"3 – the belief that our minds function just like computers, an inhumane ideology that limits our collective imagination and action. The world does not need to be compatible with computers and digital systems, rather, it is the other way around: We need to re-learn to bring democratic values– values of human dignity and rights – back to the core of our thinking, making them the basis of our utopias. We need to remind ourselves that the promises of cold, data-driven efficiency do not serve us, but serve only those in power. We have to reject these logics on a fundamental level.
