    This is the trend that makes me genuinely worry that we may not avoid neofeudalism. Right now, joe schmoe can at least participate in the Market, but when that goes away, what hope do we (and capitalism in general) have except unions?

      Oh, dont worry In the near future, unions will be made illegal, just wait 'till the megacorpos figure out a way to nudge things their way for that to happen

      We’re heading straight to the worst part of Cyberpunk, the one where government doesn’t exist, and corpos are the ones who rules everything

      Does anyone remembers Fortuna from Warframe? Yeah, we know the disaster we’re setting ourselves to

        And, if my understanding of how everything that ends up following dystopian fiction only seems to get the dullest parts of it is true, it means we won’t even get a cool song to sing :\

            Dont give them ideas Or they might end up making a song about how forced slabor working on Amazon is amazing, then force ask kindly for all employees to sing it, to show how amazing it is to work there
