Some Observations on the Trump Broligarchy... the Technofeudal Lords

...apparently no one has noticed the entire world's digital adoption of economic technofeudalism.  There aren't even markets (open/ free) anymore.  "Search" has captured and now DIRECTS all access and activity in the markets.  There are only Technofeudal Lords (Platform owners), Technofeudal Vassals (corporations who make products), and Cloud Serfs (computer users who give away all their data).  The only hope for opportunities left are for 'serfs' to achieve 'vassaldom'.. they will never "own the platform".  The US IC owns the platform (Jack's Magic Coffee Shop).  Now that the entire world economy has been captured, there's no need to hide it any longer.  The only question left, is can it all now be "transformed" into a Tofflerian "Third Wave" Prosumer style economy from it's current feudalistic roots?
From a Society of Control... to the Achievement Society (only with a bit less "positivity" than we have currently)
