I cannot stop seeing this idea overlaid on every thing that I see or do or hear about. Every action is filtered through the lens of it being extractive and manipulative.

I feel extremely stressed because I see the bars of the cage and no one else around me wants to acknowledge them.

I do not like this. I would like it to stop please.

Nationalize and publicise the research data and other intellectual property of the large corps. That could be helpful.

Unfortunately this is the most likely scenario.

I agree but how does that punishment get played out? Like if we manage to kick the fascists out, and rebuild a semblance of of a society, how do we pay reparations to the entire world? I mean we can grind up the billionaires and give people their money but we have $40 TRILLION in debt. There’s not paying that back.

What is a mechanism of punishment for a society who so plainly doesn’t give a shit about anyone outside their borders?

I agree with you, I believe. The difference being that the authoritarian nature be geared towards exclusively a group that is VOLUNTARILY JOINED and nothing else. If you want to own that much wealth, you get some fancy new governmental oversight and regulations. Congrats. I don’t believe that that has be “authoritarian” to the VAST majority of people. Well over 95%.
