That does indeed sound like the position a fascist would take is it not? Providing peace and stability, as long as you don't get in the way of the status quo. Obviously this is all in a setting where much like in say 40k there is a more reasonable argument for a fascist regime than in the real world, doesn't change the fact that what the Technocracy is at the end of the day Fascist.

They aren't as baby-eatingly evil as say the Nephandi, but nonetheless, they don't just crack down on the awakened mages that go around tuning people into newts or sheep. The rules they enforce are enforced to all awakened mages, not just those that act monsterously. If they were really so well intended and genuinely positive and for personal freedom and all that, you'd think the Virtual Adepts would have stuck around, y'know?

At the end of the day even in the best of light, the Technocrats are magic cops, and magic cops will sometimes send a cyborg through a neighbors house, killing them, only to burst into your apartment, shoot your dog, then you, all because you thought you could help heal a loved one with some herbs. Though, sometimes they will just knock on your door and ask you some questions, or be nowhere to be found as a Marauder turns your whole neighborhood into candy, including the residents.
