    No, taken at face value, #RobertReich is not right:

    "and that's why we need to make minor adjustments to the American tax code and close the inheritance loophole..."

    Something that has an engrained systemic error cannot be fixed by something so minor.
    To be frank, today's oligarchs and #Technofeudalists would not let that happen.

    What would be needed is this: #AbolishBillionaires:

    I'm surprised that you as an #AI and #TESCREAL expert See a discrepancy in this. For the morbid and haughty minds of the #Longtermists like #Elon, there is no discrepancy, IMHO:

    1) At least since Goebbels, fascists offen acuse others of what they have done or are about to do themselves; or they deflect, flood the zone, etc. That on a tactical/communications strategy level.

    I agree with both oft you: the best way to stop RhE #TrumpMuskDuumvirate to hurt all Americans but the #Technofeudalists is to cause them maximum economic pain.

    Sanctions, as in the #Kremlin case, would only worsen the #TrumpeanTradeWars.

    Most of the Western allies are to weak to stand up to the #OrangePeril by themselves, even the #EU.

    The👉 new #Résistance must be organized internationally, like the #MAGA movement👈

    /s: tRump and Elmo are either on the Kremlin"s payroll or have too much vested interest in Russia.
    So, why treat the mules differently from up-front #Russian oligarchs?
    The Free World, and the ones generally not wishing the US well, have a chance at collaboration: #SanctionTheMagaOligarchs, including the #TechnoFeudalists./s

    @phanjam and I have started collecting links with a focus on the #GameDev and #WorkerCoop spheres.

    It's super rough but maybe helpful none the less:

    I think (if you're not rich) the path forward is #cooperative in structure, or we're doomed to the onslaught of #TechnoFeudalists

  14. @EU_Commission
    This is actually great! What are the penalties, random blocking of the services at the network level?

    Although we prefer the term #technoFeudalists to describe these entities (and entities, T'site Buyer, Akamai, Oracle, Alibaba, and Tencent which appear to be absent in the legislation), the term '#gatekeepers' is a fairly good indictment.

    (EDIT: Removed M$ from above after double-check)

  15. @remixtures
    Thanks for sharing!

    We cast the net a little bit wider and catch the gamut of #technoFeudalists, namely C.A.G.E.M.A.F.I.A.. It stands for Cloud(G)lare, (sc)Amazon, Goo(), T'siteBuyer (you've cited above), Micro(shaft), (f)Apple, (Fake)book, IBM, and Akamai. Not forgetting Oracle who worked with China to develop mass surveillance systems too.

    To be active in the resistance, see hashtag (#)DigitalFeudalismCounterAction to consciously block the technoFascists.

  16. @BubblegumYeti
    Yes, scAmazon have a thing called #ESRI maps that is just as bad, given we block #technoFeudalists. Truth be told ESRI actually blocks us because we use #TorBrowser, but the feeling is mutual 😉.

    Dear @smallcircles, is there an instance of this #organicMaps that is not #cloudGlare (we block cloudFlare and organicMaps.app is regrettably cf'd).

    We really like #OsmAND offline #maps. It'd be great to have a comparable app for #foss desktops.

    Hi Geodie,

    Are you able to explain? We cannot access ABC, its served via USA-Akamai-based servers.

    Media = #boughtAndPaidFor by the #technoFeudalists, yes.

    Apparently Goog, MicroShaft, ScAmazon and FApple #ads on almost every ad break, sometimes even FBook! In 2021 #ScomoMarketing allowed FB and Goog to bribe #ourABC — called it something like #FacebookRefriendedAustralia™.

    People seemed to lap it up.

    Can we unplug from #TheMatrix, do you think?

    To be fair, when the above-mentioned MonsantoPapers were revealed no one could talk about them.

    What were they about? What they meant, in terms of which science may've been perverted to #engineerConsent for a host of really quite criminal policies was kept completely from view of the general population.

    As your instance is CloudFlrae'd, we see no difference between this and what the Bigs do in terms of 'efficiency'. How is it efficient for a handful of #technoFeudalists to decrypt so much previously encrypted #communication? It isn't.

    Lastly, using questions as you've done may not be efficient for you personally to benefit from but for those that've gone to extreme lengths to MITM the #clearnet, it's more trivial for them to abuse.

    CloudFlare erodes trust.

    @realcaseyrollins

  21. Until now it has been somewhat difficult to properly block #technoFeudalists including CloudFlare.

    Block Cloudflare MITM Attack (BCMA) is good and can help in some ways to learn when a website is Cf'd

    We are finding the most comprehensive method is to use Digital Feudalism Counter Action (DFCA). If you are reading this please go and setup DFCA now — as in 'right-at-this-moment' now.

  22. @film_girl @thomholwerda Small is not the goal. It’s a side-effect of ethical infra free from #technoFeudalists. The side-effect can only be lessened by getting more ppl to prioritize the community over techno feudalism’s giant #walledGardens.

    The masses will always be unethical. Poaching bits of the beast is our best move.

    Yes. We will happily debate (lampoon) bad politics till the cows come home. We don't block based on politics, however feed data or permit/tolerate the feeding of data to the #technoFeudalists and #digitalColonialists, the BlackRocks, the Vanguards, the nazis, the mafias? We cannot and will not tolerate that.

  27. ENDING DIGITAL #COLONIALISM

    The #MagnaCarta had an accompanying document, the #CharterOfTheForest, which restricted the amount of #land that #kings had #dominion over.

    We propose similar for #technoFeudalists.

    In true #cypherpunk fashion, its possible for us to write these #laws into #code.

    FOSS does this of course, but what if millions decided tomorrow that they would cap #IPv4 addresses of technoFeudalists to 1M (IPv6 => 16M)?

    Could this fix #theInternet, and by extension — much more.
