  1. RE: autistics.life/@RoundSparrow/1

    We also want to go back to that glorious past.

    But not as they expect.

    We want to go back to that time when greedy merchants and technocrats were not used to judge art, literature and dramas based on their lack of taste and knowledge, and when they were used to just shut up, because teachers, bards and druids didn’t ask to hear their merchant-like and technocrat-like, irrelevant opinion on art.

  2. This is important. A good youtuber YouTux warns us about technofeudalism. Just imagine Mastodon never succeeds because of it.

    The battle of community vs corporations is back. It happens in silence.

  4. @blogdiva 🎯

    I was just thinking yesterday about how credit cards, Klarna, Pay Later, etc. weren't around for previous major crashes & depressions. Seems like they would obscure and obfuscate the moment of economic crash. Spread it around & not be as obvious as in the past. I'm sure that people are currently drowning in debt, instead of lining up for bread.

    Reminds me about those debtors prisons and the 13th Amendment loophole.

    #Fascism can be temporary, but they want #TechnoFeudalism forever.

  6. Techno feudalism what changes

    There’s a common understanding that we’re living inside a new digital world, that feels like enclosure, where people are "controlled" by platforms they can’t easily leave, where behaviour is shaped at scale, and where #AI intensifies this mess. That’s why #fashernista terms like #technofeudalism are being used to argue that we’ve moved beyond capitalism into something different - a system based not primarily on profit, but on rent extraction through “cloud capital.” In this […]

  13. This techno-feudalism, the Rentier Capitalism that oligarchs are imposing on people, I don’t know how they think this is going to end well… Now it’s #Sony deleting movies that people “owned”. But it’s been a cascade of similar incidents, one after the other… I can only say that I’m starting to see more and more guillotine images on social media. 🙄 #rentiercapitalism #technofeudalism

  23. I dislike the concept of technofeudalism.

    It's used to describe what is nothing more than another stage of capitalism. We're living through the consequences of the falling rate of profit: capital becomes less profitable, it abandons production and innovation, turning instead towards digital platforms as a new source of rent extraction.

    Musk or Bezos do not behave like feudal lords either, far from it. Caring about power more than money has been a trait of the bourgeoisie for centuries, it's how it came to exist (using their money to buy shares of the nobility's power).

    The only return to the past I see these days is in international relations, where mercantilism seems to be back. Colonial wars are fought over resources, gunboat diplomacy is used as a negotiation tool, tariffs and blockades are disrupting free trade, still not feudalism though.

    Marx wrote of all those things in Das Kapital over a century ago. This new word/concept is wrong in essence, it distracts from the overall critique of capitalism which needs to be accurate in order to topple it. We are not subjects of lordships, we are wage laborers, which is our weakness but also the source of our strength through collective bargaining power.

    Same issue with the usage of "the Epstein class". It does point towards the existence of class warfare, but portrays the dominant class as "rich people who abuse others" instead of tying it to rent seeking and extraction of labor from the working class. We have a word for that, it's called the bourgeoisie.

    Deep down it doesn't really matter since it at least gets people talking about topics they usually are afraid to discuss, I merely choose to not use them myself. But I do die a bit inside when they are used unironically by writers and journalists.

  25. I don't want to talk about politics on this profile, but I need to make this reflection.

    Nation-states are no more, they are dead.
    What we call the modern nation-state is just an administrative shell. The real structural shift isn't geopolitical, but vertical: an uneven dynamic between an oblivious public and transnational technocapitalists who control the digital infrastructure.

    The illusion of an East vs West conflict is just a distraction for the masses. Each geopolitical bloc uses its own cultural legacy to indoctrinate its population.

    In Europe, they sell us narratives of privacy, human rights, and green transitions, while structural censorship, digital tracking, poverty, inequality, and warmongering advance in the background.

    The scenario is not USA vs EU vs Russia vs China or whatever, the shift is vertical: transnational technocapitalists using empty state structures to control digital infrastructure and citizens.

  29. I haven't been able to find any tech journalists or outlets reporting on Section 224 of the 2027 #NDAA (H.R.8800):

    "...the provision reaches across 'seemingly every area of defense tech,' including artificial intelligence, quantum technology, autonomous systems, directed energy, cyber and biotechnology. He said the most alarming terms were 'network integration' and 'data fusion,' since the bill does not clearly define them."

    Has anyone seen any good coverage or analysis from tech journalists or experts on Section 224?

    The only individuals pulling up ladders are those in positions of #power (#political or #financial) to preserve their #self-interests. It was ever so and will remain that way until we, the people, come up with an #economic model that will curtail it (we’re still looking for that model, but there are candidates to look at). I don’t see #generational #warfare here, though it can be clothed that way as a means of shifting blame, anger, and attention away from the actual perpetrators, in what is, and always was #ClassWarfare (I.e. those in power cover multiple generations and hapless individuals are brainwashed by their propaganda).

    I don’t wish to get into an argument about this. I’m just trying to inject some ‘moderation’ in the discourse. Does the #BlameGame push my buttons? Yes it does. Perhaps I should leave well enough alone and not inject myself in conversations when that happens. Experience tells me it rarely ends well. It appears I’m still learning that lesson.

  33. If the economic system continues on its current path, human development will not be valued; the small elite that can get a living doing science—supervising the machines—will shrink ever further. The rest will simply become reverse centaurs working for the machines and their techno-feudalist overlords. Bags of flesh that can do what the machines cannot, just like an #Amazon driver.
