It’s so weird that Americans cling to feudal landlord mentality like a lifeline, and also call it “freedom”.
And by landlord mentality I’m not just talking about conservative thinking. It also drives the idea that it’s perfectly fine to learn skills by watching what other people do and then basing new work on it - but when software does that, it’s “stealing”. Righteous outrage! Not fair! That’s mine! Just another form of landlordism, but it’s the good kind! (as usual)
but there’s only one thing worse than communism: feudalism.
I grew up in the DDR, that’s what it was like.
The party decided what and how you live your life, how much equality you deserve. You had to scratch their backs to get their scraps. The only way to improve your living conditions was to be completely subservient, in private and public life.
