Technology is an amoral form of power that accrues to those who have access to it, as well as have the most access to it. In unequal societies, this accrual is to those who already have wealth, political power, etc. If the opposite was true, as you claim, the most technologically advanced countries would have seen decreasingly inequality in the period you fit. In reality, they’ve only seen the opposite.

It is because your view of inequality is bullshit. Your views are exactly in line with Khmer Rogue.

Cambodia in 1977 was a much more equal society than America in 2024. Can't argue with that.

I have zero idea what you’re talking about. You seem to be in conversation with yourself.
