This is all of our futures because after the oligarchs have created a renter society (which has been in process but will amp up after the next great recession which we are on the brink of due to the rapidly increasing unemployment and increasing poverty and lack of services and income from supply chains from the dismantling of a huge part of the infrastructure of the fed plus tariffs, etc. thanks to Musk and Trump.(https://futurism.com/economist-elon-musk-recession), so municipalities and states will have to take on the burden of EVERYTHING that a centralized gov. used to do and without the funding they used to receive which obviously is impossible for most states (like CA) so the small towns will quickly then be literally bought by oligarchs who will be the benefactors. So then we will be in full on feudalism, the devolved state of late capitalism, where the oligarchs will have fiefdoms and we will all be kissing the ring and bending the knee night and day in their polluted tech hellscape. But, hey it’ll be fine because meta will hook you up with special glasses or you can get an neuralink implant to live in the virtual. These tech devices are already changing the hardware in the brain and people are getting dumber and dumber. It’s important to make a stand against transhumanism, no matter how badly things will suck. Our humanism is our true link to our freedom. Never forget; never give in.
Yes, this really does seem to be the trajectory we’re being nudged toward. It’s also why there’s such a push to co-opt the language of “libertarianism.” Leftist libertarians have long pointed out that anarcho-capitalism tends to collapse into digital feudalism, not greater freedom.
It’s especially revealing how Network States are still being marketed as utopian and “decentralized,” yet the fine print keeps expanding by proponents’ own admission: military outsourcing, infrastructure control, surveillance layers… Funny how decentralization always seems to stop short of actual power.
I wrote about this in my latest piece, especially the deeper epistemic flaw at the core of the Network State idea. Curious how long the so-called libertarians will keep missing that their dream version of freedom can’t survive the architecture they’re cheering for.
