All societies tend toward Feudalism given enough time. The rent seekers control everything, and the masses surrender their liberty in exchange for security. History has demonstrated this countless times, which is why the Bill of Rights enshrined the right of the public to form militias to protect their own rights (the original 2nd Amendment).
Unfortunately, over two centuries the rent seekers have won again, so a reboot is required. How to initiate and sustain a successful reboot is the tricky part.
I sense from your writings that you are increasingly frustrated with the current state of affairs. I just want to emphasize that you aren't the only one, and if you were to formalize your dissent into an actionable movement, many would support you. The time may have come for the Technocrat to take his place on the world stage...

It's not a technical problem. It's a moral/ethical problem where most the long term solutions that would work are very dark in the short term.
