'Tain't Even Facism, It's Feudalism!

Are you a peasant or a serf?

The Lord Doesn’t Think About Anybody

Trump’s instinct is feudalism. The rest of us need to start thinking about each other.

I suppose, but you don't want to know how little I care about the rest of you. And why should I? I didn't vote for this.
What he described in that gaggle, a hierarchy in which the financial suffering of ordinary Americans doesn’t even register as a variable worth considering, is not an aberration. It is the operating system. And it is older than Trump by several centuries. The medieval term for it was feudalism. The people at the bottom were called serfs. The countries that existed to serve the lord’s interests were called vassal states. Trump, who once openly threatened to reduce Canada to exactly that status, appears to have built his entire worldview around a system he would have felt entirely at home in, provided, of course, that he was the one holding the title.
Alleged gift link. Meaning good luck getting around the paywall w/o giving them your e-mail two or three times or "getting the app". More irksomeness & enshittificaton. Why should I care when everything is absolute crap?

    That pyramid doesn't have the police and the military inbetween the peasants and the serfs which is an intentional omission..
