Excellent post thoughtgypsy. You pretty much hit the nail on the head and at a level that I, and many others, are able to understand. I PM'ed NTP a couple days ago asking his input on a question dealing with the same topic, though at a higher level.
Essentially, how soon and in what manner can we expect to see Neo feudalism take hold?
People have long joked (or predicted) that in the future we will have no national borders - just banks and corporations. Your post very clearly outlines that future. Another sign of what's coming is the increased privatization of many things. Being involved in the aviation industry, I have noticed a recent push once again to privatize the air traffic control and airspace system. This has slowly occurred in countries all over the world and I believe it's a matter of time before it happens here. I think we will even eventually see private militaries and that over a period of time government will become a relic of the past much like royal families. I also believe negative interest rates very much tie into this as well.
In addition to NTPs thoughts on this, since we're bringing this to a higher level and tying in neo feudalism, I'd like to hear what guys like Zelcorpion have to say on this.
