Word of the Day: Techlordism. Yes! Winner!
May 8, 2026
How many ideologies are we dealing with today? More than we should need to from both sides of the political and cultural spectrum. They’re redundant, absurd, and appalling to the majority moderate population in the country.?I will say one side is louder than the other, but I won’t say which to avoid controversy.?What stinks is that The Point says there’s a new ideology we’ll now have to deal with straight from Big Tech: “Palantir And The New Order: Neoliberalism Is Dead. Say Hello To Techlordism.”
The editorial starts by saying neoliberalism was the “undisputed creed” of the global elite.?Neoliberalism arose from the ashes of the New Deal and it spread the gospel that Wall Street was infallible.?Now there’s a new modus operandi called techlordism straight from Silicon Valley and the rich people of the world.?It derives from cloud capital, meaning networked algorithm machines that give Big Tech lots of power to modify behaviors.?It sounds like this also includes screen time for the kiddies along with AI chatbots.
Here’s the plan for techlordism:
“Consider the three fronts. First, techlordism must legitimise replacing fallible, recalcitrant humans with cloud capital in every realm, from medicine to poetry translation to raising children. Why? Because the deeper the penetration, the greater the cloud rents for the technofeudal class. Second, it must legitimise colonising the state—privatising public data, hooking systems into the tax office and the Pentagon, as Elon Musk’s DOGE and Peter Thiel’s Palantir have already done. Third, it must legitimise colonising Wall Street, merging cloud capital with financial services to create unfettered cloud finance outside traditional markets.”
Techlordism will replace the now old-fashioned transhumanism in a way similar to neoliberalism zapped classical liberalism. The current ideals related to the human economy are replaced with pseudo-AI psyches that control everything and take over human thinking. Is this a good thing or a bad thing? The write up states:
“…ubiquitous surveillance, automated targeting on the battlefields, macroeconomic instability (as cloud rents destroy aggregate demand), the end of democracy as even an ideal (cheered by Peter Thiel), and the death of universities replaced by personalised AI augmentations.”
And what outfit is linked with these ideas? The write up leaves me with the impression that Palantir Technologies is the pointy end of the new world order spear. Erasing privacy and using fear as a force leads to this, according to the article:05
“The idea that it is wrong to judge someone by the colour of their skin, ethnicity, or religion must be jettisoned. Blacks, Muslims, most Asians, and of course, women, are inferior untermensch. Western men have for half a century resisted putting these subhumans in their place in the name of inclusivity. It was a mistake. Subhumans must never be allowed in, except as servants or sex service providers—at least until Palantir and Tesla can perfect our androids, in which case they will become surplus to requirements.”
I quite like the phrase “surplus to requirements.” If you ask, “Whose requirements?”, the answer just may be some of those big AI tech (BAIT) pros. These folks definitely know what they want and have the confidence to believe that their views are the correct ones. Sounds like a Sillycon Valley plan to me.
