Grandpa’s definitions do not need to be our definitions.
People are playing some banal brinksmanship game “oooh that fall afoul of some vague mutable truth we’ve been conditioned to believe is immutable; get im fellas!”
What are you all going to do to STOP the problems? Debating the diagnosis is allowing it to spread. Only real change in agency will stop it and no one seems into that.
So why sit here thinking answering your questions is useful?
Last I checked there is a thriving techno-political culture of decentralization and privacy rights fighting this. A lot of people are in fact doing a lot. Don't worry kiddo! The adults are working on it even if it seems futile.
FYI it isn't a strawman to ask whether you have a cogent argument for why technofeudalism isn't happening.
You asserted the proposition that technofeudalism isn't a thing (strongly implied)
The respondent didn't construct a superficially similar proposition (I.e. a strawman) and simply asked what support you have for your proposition.
A strawman would have been like if someone argued against your proposition that "But the Snowden leaks showed we live in a surveillance state!" This is a Strawman because it constructs a superficially similar position to "technofeudalism is a thing" without actually at all arguing against the position that technofeudalism is not a thing.
This is a good point. Costly recalls and cybersecurity vulnerabilities in your car are actually enjoyable to young people. Having your car stolen by anybody with a USB cable is exactly the same as rap music.
None of this is divine mandate. What is “freedom” is not immutable but a contemporary observation.
Is the future better of setting themselves aside to clean up after us? Are they not allowed to be free from our mess? One unique in the history of the species.
Why is today free from the consequences they put upon tomorrow?
The long term investment in us is actually selfish. It’s akin to expecting our religion to be the next generations
TIL my concern that Big Tech is progressively centralizing power to the detriment of society writ large is exactly as shortsighted and dumb a fear like the moral panic that DnD is satanic. /s

Same with jazz, DnD, same with rock music, same with rap
No one seems to have much rage for the environment, just their mind palace
