Episode notes
Elite Radicalization in VCs' Group Chats
- Venture capitalists and right-wing media figures use secret group chats for radicalizing tech elites and shaping political views.
- These chats fuel far-right realignment and mainstream opinion shifts rather than leading them.
Radicalization From Within Elite Echo Chambers
- Mark Andreessen and peers are radicalized by their own echo chamber, not leading culture but following extreme online communities.
- These group chats escalate extremism, reinforcing radical views with no institutional consequences.
Elite Threats Remain Invisible
- Liberal states fail to see right-wing threats because elite radicalization is invisible and ignored.
- Counter-extremism focuses on non-elite groups, ignoring dangerous elite right movements that aim to dismantle democracy.
