#Technofeudalism
We live in a (neo-)feudal with tech billionaires increasingly
assuming the mantle of our new overlords.
These overlords do not wear
chain mail or top hats, but instead direct our future in jeans and hoodies
and their power is enabled by technologies that once were widely seen as holding great promise for grassroots democracy and decision making but
have become tools for surveillance and consolidation of power.
