Stop calling it anything other than capitalism. This is the result of capitalism.

Techno-fascists literally want to bring back feudalism in corporate form. It’s a fitting turn considering their aims, I guess? Dystopian regardless.

Capitalism is literally just non-hereditary feudalism? What’s your point exactly?

It’s a bit more nuanced than just that. Like the initialization of capitalism was driven by the merchant class to take power away from nobility, removing a lot of the customs and societal classes for a pseudo classless system. Over time though it’s been bastardized into a much closer comparison to a feudalistic system

My point is to stop scapegoating to calling it anything other than capitalism. Liberals who think capitalism is a good economic system want to call it techo-fuedalism or something adjacent as if we aren’t living in the blatantly obvious result of capitalism

People want to act like the billionaires are just bad actors as if capitalism doesn’t incentivize what they do.

Capitalism doesn’t reward morality, one of the biggest issues it has. Success is often achieved through immoral means because of the nature of acquiring power in a capitalistic society

If anything it incentivizes being immoral. It’s cheaper to not care about others than it is to be a steward of society
