Very important points, though a handful of the "big names" do a good job at bringing these concerns to light. I've repeatedly said to myself during this time that the "great reset" was largely accomplished by the time people learned the term.

It does sound, increasingly, as though things will get worse before they get better. And nothing short of a people's revolution along the lines of what happened in France to rid society of the techno aristocracy will be the means to do that. All the touted cures - localisation, bitcoin, alternative medicine, boycotts of conglomerates, non-compliance to digital ID creep - are drops in the ocean. They would have to be adopted wholesale, and with discipline and no small measure of inconvenience, to see any shift. And the conglomerates will be tracking and herding all the way. Grinding the resistance down. The youngsters are far too naive about the bells and whistles of convenience, and far too ignorant of history, to recognise the tentacles of totalitarianism snaking up on them. To see that the nudge-work of "owning nothing" and renting everything is the start of a quasi-feudal/communist takeover. Acclimatising them to a future of deprivation and control and enslavement. Horrifying.

And I realise I merge feudalism and communism. Still can't quite figure which is more predominant. It is still a class thing, no matter which way you cut it. So maybe more accurate to stick with feudalism, as of old, with the neo-aristocratic corporate behemoths and old-money Elites working side-by-side to corral the obliging peasants under the guise of "the greater good" - which is still communism by any other name. All the communist attempts have always had the ones up top, benefitting all along.

I am personal fan of the concept of "neo-feudalism". I would not yet be able to outline the history of the concept, as I have only encountered it "here and there" along the way, but I find it very useful.

The herds of modern moron slaves are too busy slaving around and when they have a little of free time they Telegram, or TikTok, or Tweet, or Substack/note!

The job for the Secular Ruling Families & Billionaires is way too easy... Specially after the deployment of the global WWW and the "smart"phone!
