Things have been accelerating for a long time... we've reached the crisis point where a critical mass of people see it. The question is which path do we reject?
We're being offered feudal globalism or marxist cultural destruction. There is a third way but the forces of evil refuse to give up power that easily...
things like Steem allow us to build new systems outside of their influence.... a kind of Zion, from the matrix, if you will.
Nice comparison to the Matrix, I like it. I would actually postulate the neo-marxist cultural collapse is being pushed in order to bring about neo-feudalism. I don't see it as either or, it looks like both to me. And you're right, there is a third way, but the powers that shouldn't be would rather see the world burn than lose their power and control.
Absolutely, neo-feudalism is exactly their plan.
