Iain Davis: The Coming Global Technocratic Dark State

"In the thinking of the Dark Enlightenment, everything can be automated. So all farming processes, for example, can be automated. You can print apples. You don't have to grow them. Everything can be delivered by AI, and everything can be delivered by robots. Human beings aren't really in the loop.

So, [Curtis Yarvin's] problem with genocide, it's not that it's morally wrong, it's that it's bad PR."

In his upcoming book, “The Technocratic Dark State: Trump, AI, and Digital Dictatorship” investigative journalist Iain Davis explores the convergence of political power, artificial intelligence, and technocratic governance in his work on what he terms the "Technocratic Dark State"—a system where democratic institutions are eroded in favor of algorithmic rule and corporate-led authoritarianism, allegedly accelerated under Donald Trump’s administration with the backing of Silicon Valley oligarchs like Elon Musk and Peter Thiel.

Davis argues that this emerging order—framed as "Dark MAGA"—is not a grassroots populist movement but a top-down restructuring of governance, merging state power with private tech interests to form a "gov-corp Technate". This system leverages AI, digital ID, predictive policing, and automated decision-making to centralize control while dismantling accountability, transparency, and due process.
