Oh no!
Capitalism is being replaced by a system where rich elites use their wealth to twist the economy and the government for their own benefit at the expense of everyday people!
How terrible! How inconceivable!
Seriously though, what part of this turn of events do capitalists actually disagree with? The rich got richer, and y'all are shocked this happened? Do they think there was some bygone halcyon age in history when Good Capitalism reigned?
Stop acting like immoral people getting rich is the problem. Capitalists love the wealthy. They worship elites. Maybe not individual elites, but capitalism, by definition, demands some of us be elites and most of us be peasants. Ergo, a capitalist sees the elite and the destitute and sees no fundamental problem.
Don't worry capitalists, the poor will still be poor, the the rich will still be rich, and the market still won't be a meritocracy.
I live on ssdi, therefore capitalists hate me. Elon Musk's encouragement of neo Nazism is going to double that hate. Under techno feudalism, I see my online presence becoming more expensive, heavily monitored, and meddled with once it's discovered that I refuse to fall in line with the status quo. Restrictions may be enforced to keep me from accessing free thought ideologies or expressing myself.
