The majority of people have no idea what's going on and probably don't care because they are struggling to survive, not realising they are struggling for these very reasons!
"You'll own nothing and be happy."
You'll be eating bugs and you'll love it.
@@paulheydarian1281 The ones that own the a.i. and robots will own all the slaves.
All globalists and their leftist pets are the enemies of the people and working hard to setup this slavery feudal system.
You will Freeze to Death or Pay outrageously and be Punished for it.
@@need2know739 well that is the last thing they will steal from us all. Our own lives. I, like Lazarus call that "Clay stealing clay" And like Lazarus I smile at their schadenfreude.
The advantage peasants had, during the period of medieval feudalism, is that they could sustain a small-target strategy to survive and be happy in their community. If they lived in an area ruled by a, relatively, benevolent lord and they were harmonious with their neighbours then they could live a relatively happy and safe life. By contrast, modern feudalism will involve central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) that will allow any level of malevolent ruler (from the King, to the nobles, to the local lords & the clerics) to closely monitor and control how you engage & transact with your local community. Modern feudalism (neo-feudalism) is a far scarier than medieval feudalism.
I agree .
Please study actual history. You will find that actual feudalism was far more oppressive than modern life. Realize that you could not move or get married without the permission of your master. You could be beaten, branded or hung for killing rabbits that were eating your crops. If you dreamed of something other than subsistence farming, you had to run away and hope you could get established in a town.
Neo-feudalism is hyperbole.
yeah its crazy how the peasants of feudalism had more freedoms and rights then us in some key places
I have stopped focusing on how we the people allowed this to happen on our watch - and focus now on what we must do to prevent this evil from gaining even more control. Thank you both for all that you are doing .
Its called Apathy, and in that State which is ALL documented by design...Handed to much Power to Government to be our Saviours of ourselves and this is called Tyranny and Creates authoritarian Fascism. The false belief of Freedom under TOTAL Control of it ain't FREEDOM.
Welcome to CANADA today folks
But what is it that we must do? Without resorting to violence!
Clearly “peaceful” protest do not work as the authority just roll out militarised police!
Personally, I think we're even well beyond restricting how much the evil is going to gain control. I think we're too far down the rabbit hole because not enough people are paying attention or have any idea what is coming for them. The general population is determined not to learn from history so they are going to have to learn from personal experience. I am now concentrating on how to help my family survive what is coming, making sure we're as self reliant as possible (growing our own food, reducing our dependency on government & corporate systems, etc.).
@@brobsonmontey I would also recommend if so inclined to also get closer with your Higher Power. It offers much strength,insight and Protection in what Lies ahead.
This happened as ppl are divided on peripheral issues while rich and ppl in the power joined hands to reap the benefits
Love your work, John.
There are few places which deliver common sense and full context.
And few people who even seek them!
Very grateful to have the opportunity to watch this discourse. Thank you.
Electric cars are a wash. Everyone knows it's a bad idea, at this point so we're switching to the little bitty acronym EV to make it sound a little cooler. And no you must not ask why, because the answer goes completely against the purpose for replacing gasoline with electricity in the first place
I have been thinking about this so much lately….About 20% of homes (currently and climbing) in America are owned and rented by Wall Street firms…..and creating a system where the Haves are binding the have-nots to they land through high rent prices and low wages….housing is so unaffordable…and all long term gains in property values go only to the people who are already filthy rich. Mix in some foreign wars paid on the backs of the middle class…plus inefficient taxation policies…all on top of a Unitary Party (in America where the extremes of each side of the political spectrum seem to be the most rational) and we have a recipe for a Populist Uprising (like seen on Jan 6, or in Brazil). And thats just the beginning.
And yet there are "coaches" telling people to stop dreaming about having their own houses, their own cars. You know, just bet all your scarce resources in the market and you'll be fine. People are desperate for money and can't realize that they are gifting their few savings to financial institutions in exchange of some coins.
I like your new direction, John!
This is good but I get the feeling Kotkin pulls his punches when he really should be more frank and forthright. For example, around @6:13 he mentions the 'two classes united in opposition to', and then he pauses and stumbles trying to find the right words before eventually saying 'the Trump people and Republicans in general'. NO! They stand in opposition to EVERYONE. If you are not part of their clique then you are a target. Trump famously said, "They’re coming after me because I’m fighting for you" and it's true. The only way to win is to be fearless and truthful. I suppose all academics these days constantly face the sword of Damocles hanging over their heads so it must be difficult finding the right balance.
Good conversation. The interesting thing about the history of feudalism is it cuts across party lines and continues unabated regardless of the party in power, as fact that more people should be made aware of. Anderson should be commended. He has a continually excellent and diverse range of guests.
What does the sincerity of the religious, political, economic, educational, military, health and media system entails on individuals and society as a whole?
Technofeudalism by Yanis Varoufakis is worth checking out.
China more unequal? According to what? Americans are homeless, in debts and have no healthcare, how is this not more unequal?
Anecdotes vs actual math i suppose
People need to factor in the biggest wealth transfer in human history, when the baby boomers pass on .
But the pool of elites gets smaller and it will become an aristocracy eventually.
Paper Money needs to exisist .........because it burns so well
"For more than seventy years the ... professors of political science, history, law, geography and philosophy eagerly imbued their disciples with a hysterical hatred of capitalism, and preached the war of “liberation” against the capitalistic West."
Oh, wait, that's what Mises said about the German professors and how the trained generations of students to what became National Socialism once the Germans embraced the violence of the Bolsheviks. And it telling we are just over 70 years from the end of the war to put down those believers. By 1950, the professors in the Anglosphere had taken up the flag from their German fellows to continue their ideology.
Fundamentalism is the frim belief of in the capitalist structures, restructured to the purpose of the wealth accumulation. Money above all.
Some good points, but then turns into a dangerous and fallacious relativism regarding the scientific consensus. Even if the scientific consensus evolves it is the current scientific consensus that describes reality in the most accurate way given all the available data. According if the scientific consensus is that smoking cigarettes is bad for health and you care about your health, it is rational not to pick up smoking. Yes, the science night evolve and in a few year your doctor night find that as a carrier of a rare gene-mutation smoking is beneficial for you, but this possibility is not a rational reason to disregard the current scientific consensus.
It does when you have reason to believe that what is touted as the 'scientific consensus' was not arrived at through reason and evidence. Scientists are only human, and at least as vulnerable to classism and political orthodoxy as the next person... especially since most of them have to beg for money from political bureaucracies to do their work.
@@boobah5643, I was referring to the scientific consensus, if something other than the scientific consensus is touted 'scientific consensus' the statement trivially doesn't apply to it. If, however, you believe to have privileged access to empirical data or to the methods of inference and that these privileges are either unavailable to anybody else or that everybody with these privileges is systematically suppressed from participating in the scientific discourse, then you're probably delusional.
@@farewellutopia "If, however, you believe that [people actually following the evidence and using the proper methods of inference are] systematically suppressed from participating in the scientific discourse, then you are probably delusional."
The fact that you can make this claim after all that has happened during the recent pandemic actually shows that maybe YOU are delusional.
In our semi-socialist countries most of the funding for theoretical sciences, health sciences, etc. comes from the state. The state controls (directly and indirectly through grants and taxpayer-backed student loans) virtually ALL of our institutions of education. ....We actually have politicians (on the side of the Democrats and Labour, etc.) who are calling for the JAILING of skeptics of man-made climate change catastrophism.
It's incredible that you think we can have free speech in matters where the state monopolizes most of the research funding and effectively controls institutional hiring decisions.

No, the bishops in 900 didn't work out the nature of Christ. They did that 600 years earlier, in the 300s.
Immensely important analysis that few are talking about. It's a shame the presentation is salted with vacuous anti-Trump virtue signalling that does nothing more than the speaker's pseudo-religious, congenital commitment to government solutions for all problems.
Virtue signaling is the distortion of something to pretend you're on the supposedly good side. For example, to parents concerned about putting children on Lupron (which was a drug for testicular cancer), SJWs will adopt the pretense that these parents are "bigots" since their concern does not fit in with the popular biotech billionaires' false narrative peddling synthestic hormones and abstract "identities".
Disliking one candidate or the other is simply a matter of opinion
C'mon John. This has come as a surprise to you? Didn't the party you were Deputy PM of promote these exact same principles? Don't forget that the base of neo-feudalism has been the neo-liberal agenda. You know, open borders, free trade and privatisation of assets, meaning disregard of the sovereign citizens of your nation. Fine, you may seek redemption about speaking about it now, but what were you doing about it when you were in power? And can you influence the current leadership of your party, the LNP, or that of the opposition? Change starts at the top.
These guys talk a lot but say nothing... I don't know them, but it's very likely they are some politicians, dam as politicians like most politicians from every where🤷😂
Communism the government your landlord ( political class ) the bilionaire
Middle class get wealthier when they invest & pay less taxes
Yes, if they are afforded less infringement of the liberty to keep and use what they earn and use this "capital" to participate in markets and enterprises to generate wealth for themselves, the non-elite can get wealthier. Taxes are the first infringement on the liberty to keep what you earn. Laissez Faire capitalism through various flavors of socialism right up to the total bureaucratic control by state functionaries socialism (20th century communism) are on a spectrum of the liberty to keep and use what you earn for yourself.
China doesn't have a middle class
Hello, there, Rip Van Winkle!
Did you just wake up from 1980?!?
Breakdown of annual middle class household income in China 2021-2022. As of January 2022, the largest share of Chinese middle-class families had an annual income of between 100 thousand and 300 thousand yuan per year. According to the same survey, almost 90 percent of respondents have at least one child.
