nah its still capitalism
...with crypto-locked bootloaders/ECMs/tractors to make sure none of the serfs threaten the king's power with digital pitchforks.
But law could easily correct that… which means we’re still a democracy with heavy capitalist influence bordering into full blown serfdom, sure.
In capitalism, the core problem is power of business owners over employees. Tech giants hold incredible power over all of their consumers - aka the entire world.
The most famous billionaires are all tech giants like Zuck, Gates, Musk, Bezos. It's because they are in the news all the time as they decide over everybody's life now, despite not being elected.
YouTube, Insta, Tik Tok, Twitter, Facebook and friends are the main way political opinions are formed, especially for teenagers. That power should be in the hands of millions of teachers, activists and journalists, not a handful of billionaires.
Markets are supposed to keep capitalism in check. That doesn't work so good but they seem to be even more ineffective in keeping the tech market in check, especially social media.
Markets aren't supposed to keep capitalism in check. Capitalism is an exploitation of commercial systems in order to maximize profits. Capitalism is at direct odds with the free market self-regulating. Capitalism is the bastardization of free market policies and destroys innovation.
I agree with all but the first sentence. Markets do a terrible job at keeping capitalism in check but they are supposed to, at least that's what capitalism stans argue.
Dafuq is he wearing?!?
Amazon Basics “Douchebag Collection”
🤣
The backrest cover of an Eastern European long distance bus seat.
Bus seat couture
I presume his arms are detachable and interchangeable. He is currently sporting his “business meeting” arms, will switch to his “swole bro” arms when he goes to the gym, and then has a set of shorter arms that he couples with trousers with very deep pockets when he is reviewing the salaries of the lower paid Amazon employees.
Looks like knockoff mo-cap.
Not "Silicon Serfdom", but Serfdom nonetheless you fucking idiot. You're helping.
How do you transition something that's never really changed?
I see someone else also listens to Factually! podcasts.
No. The intelligence community would never give up such control.
And if lobbies take their power?
