Any elites are going to be technocratic to some degree (by definition, any successful elite controls everything worth controlling, and tech is of course worth controlling). The mistake many people start making is that just because the elites are terrible, tech is terrible. Obviously not all tech is terrible. It's important to distinguish between tech that terrible elites love, and tech that common people can use for their own benefit.

"By and large, this accusation is a response to the traumatic Covid measures brought down on the citizens of nearly every nation on earth."

If you reached the conclusion that elites are terrible during the pandemic, you reached that conclusion way too late and got your ideas way too mixed up. The elites are terrible, deadly viruses are terrible, that doesn't mean that the elites and deadly viruses have much in common, beyond the fact that the elites will avoid deadly viruses while being quite happy for common people to catch them. The problem was never the vaccine, the problem was that the elites are quite willing to make a big fuss about the vaccine if that will deflect attention from how willing they are to abuse common people in all sorts of ways that have nothing to do with vaccines. And boy, do they have the money and the Big Data to deflect attention successfully. Remember, rich=evil with such a degree of precision these days that you should not bother looking to any other details when judging any rich person. Hate them all. God will sort out the few innocents among them.
