My offensive take is the fact that #European #serfs were neglected and subverted masses turned savage, forming ghettos around mills of death - and when they started being a huge problem, they were sent to colonize and enslave people in Africa and America.

European powers sent their worst, simply because they knew that the serfs would eventually turn against them. That's also why they scapegoated Jews.

A guillotine is clean and sophisticated. Diseased peasants ripping you limb from limb is not.

“With its rapidly increasing population, religious and royal wars, Irish ethnic cleansing, and fear of rising crime, Britain excelled among the European imperial powers in shipping its people into bondage in distant lands. An original inspiration had flowed from small-scale shipments of Portuguese children to its Asian colonies before the Dutch supplanted the Portuguese as the world's premier long-range shippers. Vagrant minors, kidnapped persons, convicts, and indentured servants from the British Isles might labor under differing names in law and for longer or shorter terms in the Americas, but the harshness of their lives dictated that they be, in the worlds of Daniel Defoe, "more properly called slaves." First in Barbados, then in Jamaica, then in North America, notably in Virginia, Maryland, and Pennsylvania, bound Britons, Scots, and Irish furnished a crucial workforce in the Americas in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. In 1618, the City of London and the Virginia Company forged an agreement to transport vagrant children. London would pay £5 per head to the company for shipment on the Duty, hence the children's sobriquet "Duty boys." Supposedly bound for apprenticeship, these homeless children—a quarter of them girls—were then sold into field labor for twenty pounds of tobacco each.”

"#Capitalism is dead. Now we have something much worse’ Yanis #Varoufakis on #extremism, #Starmer, and the tyranny of #BigTech" (Observer interview)
In his new book, 'Technofeudalism: What Killed Capitalism', the maverick #Greek economist says we are witnessing an epochal shift. At his island home of Aegina, he argues it’s no longer the global finance system that shapes us, but the ‘fiefdoms’ of tech firms"
...
"We’re now in servitude, Varoufakis argues, to the fiefdoms of our new global masters, Lord #Zuckerberg of Facelandia and Sir #Musk of the rotten borough of X."
...
“Imagine the following scene straight out of the science fiction storybook,” he writes. “You are beamed into a town full of people going about their business, trading in gadgets, clothes, shoes, books, songs, games and movies. At first everything looks normal. Until you begin to notice something odd. It turns out all the shops, indeed every building, belongs to a chap called Jeff. What’s more, everyone walks down different streets, and sees different stores because everything is intermediated by his algorithm… an algorithm that dances to Jeff’s tune.”

It might look like a market, but Varoufakis says it’s anything but. Jeff (Bezos, the owner of Amazon) doesn’t produce capital, he argues. He charges rent. Which isn’t capitalism, it’s feudalism. And us? We’re the serfs. “Cloud serfs”, so lacking in class consciousness that we don’t even realise that the tweeting and posting that we’re doing is actually building value in these companies."

at the border they made us stop
our feet were on the ground
same ground ahead of us
as the ground behind us
but we had to show
to people with weapons
we belonged on this part
this arbitrary part of earth
according to some rules
written a long time ago—
before any of us were born

Oh dear. #BBC #Radio4's series on witches got off to a good start, but episode 4 includes one of the stupidest things I've heard all year, a paean to #feudalism, because the equality between un-free #serfs is apparently better than modern #capitalist inequality in which nigh-on everyone is better off and free. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m001mc4p/episodes/player
