The general concept is this: Control through complexity. By making things so complex people don’t understand they’re being controlled or getting fucked up the ass.

This is modern society 101, and techno feudalism is just one aspect of it.

Social and economic systems becoming too complex for individual humans to understand is my grand unifying theory of why everything feels so fucked up at the moment. This applies even when there isn't some evil puppetmaster pulling the strings.
