Al Jazeera Discovers Wage Slavery, 500 Years Later
Al Jazeera highlights 'Modern Feudalism: Fact or Fear?', pondering if rising corporations and algorithms are trapping workers. (As if that wasn't the plan all along.) This isn't a new phenomenon; it's the natural conclusion of policies pushed by entities like the World Economic Forum, with their smiling pronouncements about you owning nothing and being happy. Or perhaps they're just getting around
to noticing the effects of unfettered corporate power lauded by many 'experts' their panels regularly feature. Instead of merely pondering the fear, one might review which global institutions advocated 'structural adjustments' for developing nations, ensuring cheap labor and resource extraction for these very corporations. Or perhaps examine the revolving door between corporate boardrooms and
government positions that legislate away worker protections. It’s not 'fear,' it’s a business model, meticulously constructed over decades, now simply reaching its endgame. Who knew serfdom just needed a better UX?
