@silverspookgames I'm glad that such agreements like those he makes are pretty much illegal in Germany for all the right reasons...

But yea, #Oligarchs in the #USA are pushing for #Neofeudalism...

@Holir_ @InfamousLeopard383 That's called #NeoFeudalism . Think we're on to something here. https://locusmag.com/2021/01/cory-doctorow-neofeudalism-and-the-digital-manor/

Doctorow ( @pluralistic ) talks about #NeoFeudalism .Seems it will be coupled with #NeoProtectionism https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2023/07/28/conservatives-capitalism-campaigns-00108594

When a regular person scrapes something off #theInternet its called #suspiciousActivity as best, at worst a #cyberAttack, piracy or #plagerism.

> Microsoft, Google and CloudFlare do it and its called a "#largeLanguageModel".

See what they did there.

Dear the #Left side of Humanity:

Stop blaming "capitalism" for what is really a *feudalism* problem.

Consensual exchange of rightfully private labor product in free markets is not the problem.

The problem is, we allow people to claim #Nature as private #property, and we enforce that with state violence.

#Capitalism is not the problem, and #socialism is not the solution. We do not live in a capitalist system, we live in a #neoliberalism #neofeudalism system. Capitalism is the solution.

@cosmiclibrarian #longtermism is #neofeudalism IMO. The masses should ignore self and family interests in order to make a better world for the electronic offspring of the techbro lords (and there's not even a promise of serf afterlife. all the downside of medieval xtianity without even a happy delusion to take the edge off)

Neofeud - a #cyberpunk point and click game made by the solo developer @silverspookgames . Every little piece of it tries to unapologetically say something meaningful. This is what #SocialJusticeInGames can look like, and I can’t wait for more!

I wonder which miscreant went round defacing these “To Let” signs with anti-landlord messages earlier… 🤔

The number of people STILL trying to buy my house is not helping to assuage the feeling of impending #NeoFeudalism.

How long untilvyou have to be a land owner to vote?

#Maslow's "Hierarchy of Needs" is not an achievement ladder. The only people who think "#money can't buy you #happiness" are people who have enough money that their #subsistence needs are comfortably met and want for nothing but self-actualization.

OK, let's do this since I moved to another instance. I'm supposed to list 5-7 things that interest me but aren't in my profile.

#bigotry (all kinds; note: being anti-Nazi isn't bigotry; if you think it is, you're a moron)
#neofeudalism / #neoliberalism
Self-hating #andyngo motherfuckers ("Andy Ngo" = Asian Uncle Tom)
#socialjustice
#unions
#gracehopper was a goddess, [bad word] you if you think otherwise.

It's long past time for people to consider more deeply the #hypothesis that "#ADHD" is a disorder of #society, rather than individuals, and that #disorder is more properly termed "#Neoliberalism-#Neofeudalism".

@arstechnica

Speaking from experience, you cannot put a super wealthy corporate chieftain on the stand and expect to rebut his testimony, unless you have clear impeaching statements on the record and another corporate chieftain as an expert to call bullshit on his claims.

Otherwise, a jury of peasants is unable to do anything other than take his representations of what it's like to be a C-suite Mogul.

#BigTech #Markets #Oligopolies #Neofeudalism #Neoliberalism: "Market design has underpinned the ascendance of Big Tech firms over the last decade or so. A new array of digital and algorithmic technologies have enabled these and other data-driven firms to monetise the very information on which markets are supposedly dependent (e.g. who wants to buy X, what person Y would pay for Z, how many people view A); this market information is meant to be transparent and truthful to ensure competition, but it is increasingly hoarded and hidden in data enclaves constructed by Big Tech firms to secure their monopolistic positions. So, rather than simply monetising personal information, Big Tech firms have gone far beyond the ‘surveillance’ fears of many critical thinkers, such as Shoshana Zuboff(external link).

Today, however, Big Tech firms face challenges on different fronts: from politicians and policy-makers developing new frameworks to curtail their power; and from the internal contradictions and dysfunctions in their own operations. All of this raises the question: will markets come back with a vengeance, or is this the start of something new? An important point for activists, civil society groups, non-government organisations (NGOs), and publics to remember when raising awareness or engaging with governments about the power of Big Tech is that if there are no longer any markets, then regulators returning to their outdated ways of understanding the world to rein in Big Tech will not work. We have to think beyond the market."
