One of the core tenets of techno-feudalism to me is that those with means are capable of living free of the tools they use to capture the labour of, and monopolise the time of those who have to use such tools to survive.
Didn't see this at the time, but it definitely speaks to the social engineering bit of re-feudalisation.
The monied classes will have functional, literate offspring with access to the High Arts, while the serfs will be socially & intellectually zombified via relentless, force-fed audiovisual slop.

A German word for being embarrassed by the actions of someone else is Fremdscham, or “foreign shame.” A similar word from Icelandic is aulahrollur, which is quite tricky to translate but basically means something along the lines of “cringe quake” or “douchebag chills”

GOP Sen. Susan Collins reacts to Trump's firing of 17 inspectors general last night:
"I don't understand why one would fire individuals whose mission it is to root out waste, fraud and abuse. This leaves a gap in what I know is a priority for President Trump. So I don't understand it."

Paris definitely wasn’t always this way. This is very recent. It wasn’t magic. It just took vision and leadership. Your city could choose leadership too.

If you only eat a small percentage of a slice of pie it doesn’t really count. For example, I ate 250% percent of a slice for breakfast and still haven’t had any pie yet.
