We’re like a hairs breadth away from corpo feudalism
i think this is rather a permanent and created perception of beeing "at the edge" as it assumes not to be there yet while it allows feudalists to do all their crap, parts of it even publicly. at least our parent generation had the same perception of beeing at that same edge while things have worsened a lot in the decades of the feudalists fouling further. that is IMHO ;-)
isn't "making others believe their product would be worth a multiple of too expensive by numerous lies" one of the very few reasons why billionaires even exist? and whoever can manipulate you to believe such, could possibly also use these skills to manipulate you to believe someone else would be a demon. maybe thats why that is. 🤷
