Modern oligarchs like Musk, Bezos, Gates, and Zuckerberg are exactly like medieval lords. The top 1% controls all resources, and it is almost impossible to buy an apartment today. We own nothing and just pay rent or subscribe to their platforms. These billionaires have total power to fire thousands of workers anytime and buy politicians for their own interest. They say they work for humanity, but it is just fake marketing. For example, they are silent on wars in Palestine and Ukraine. Majority of ordinary people and developers are too naive. They believe these lies and fail to see the real system

    But it is the advanced stage which is causing the strife.

    Also, understanding that the programs that I mentioned weren’t available to all, they were available to enough to judge their past against the present. A white working class member of society whose family had access to programs to buy a house in the suburbs isn’t going to think about racial inequality when judging their current economic position compared to their parents and grandparents. They are going to compare the economics of the two eras and see that the economics of today are a lot harsher than before.
