Peter Turchin: Entering the Age of Instability after Trump
#8
We could end up with a new feudalism in which life is sheer Hell for all but about 5% of the population, with the upper 1% living in opulent indulgence.

In some ways the modern feudalism will be worse because the feudalism of medieval times had holes that contemporary technology closes rigidly, and brutally shut.
The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the dedicated Communist  but instead the people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction, true and false, no longer exists -- Hannah Arendt.
