"Rent-seeking psychopath desires all the rent"
Literally the mentality of the English land-owning gentry enclosing the ancient commons and driving people off the land into dependency on them. It was bullshit then, and it's bullshit now.
It's straight up kleptoparasite mentality.
It's been the central mentality of the owning class since the ability to individually own the means of production was conceived.
They won't care about rent-seeking without their brains. There's a simple solution to these problems, we just have to do it. It's easy and fun, so I hear. I'm willing to be the first, I'll accept those dirty hands
It is the cyberfeudal lord's wet dream. Can we skip the dark ages and go straight to the French Revolution?
Uhh that's exactly what they want. The French revolution was just more rich assholes taking control. In this case it was the merchant class. The Techbro class definitely wants to take control. Also, the majority of people beheaded in the French revolution were commoners.
