Technofeudalism is a term used to describe a modern economic system where big technology companies have power similar to feudal lords in the past. Instead of land, these companies control digital platforms, data, and online markets. People and smaller businesses rely on these platforms, just like peasants once relied on feudal lords for land and protection. Origins of the idea. The concept of technofeudalism has been developed by several thinkers who argue that digital capitalism is shifting toward a new kind of economic control. One of the most well-known voices on this topic is Yanis Varoufakis, an economist and former Greek finance minister. He argues that companies like Google, Amazon, Facebook, and Apple do not simply compete in markets—they own and control them, just like feudal lords controlled land in medieval times. French philosopher Cédric Durand also explores this idea in his book "Technoféodalisme: Critique de l’économie numérique" (2020), where he describes how digital platforms extract wealth from users, workers, and businesses without true competition. He claims that today’s economy is no longer based on traditional capitalism, where businesses compete, but on a system where a few tech giants rule over digital space. Another scholar, Jodi Dean, connects technofeudalism to the rise of "platform capitalism," where workers and users do not own the means of production but rely on tech companies to access work, social connections, and even basic services. These thinkers believe that rather than creating a free and open internet, digital platforms have built a system where power is concentrated in the hands of a few, making it harder for smaller players to succeed. Key features. Technofeudalism has some similarities to old feudal systems: Examples. Som examples of technofeudalism are: Criticism and debate. Some experts say technofeudalism makes society less fair because a few powerful companies control most digital activity. Others argue that technology has made life easier, providing more opportunities for businesses and individuals. Governments are now considering new laws to regulate these companies and ensure fair competition. Future of technofeudalism. Technofeudalism is still a new idea, and economists are debating whether it will replace capitalism or just change it. Some believe that stronger government rules and new technology could create a fairer system in the future.
The Judeo-Masonic conspiracy theory is an antisemitic false claim that there is a secret Jewish–Freemason group controlling the world. This claim was invented by opponents of the French Revolution in 1789. It is common among antisemites worldwide and often appears in their propaganda, which tends to equate Jews with the Freemasons.  The false claim formed the basis of the well-known forgery "The Protocols of the Elders of Zion", which was adopted by the Nazi German regime in their propaganda to justify the Holocaust, killing at least 6,000,000 Jews across Europe. Similar conspiracy theories. Zionist Occupation Government conspiracy theory. A similar theory, the Zionist Occupation Government (ZOG) conspiracy theory, accuses Jews of "controlling Western governments" to benefit themselves and Israel. This theory is popular among antisemites worldwide, especially Neo-Nazis, White supremacists, Black nationalists and Islamists. Jews also "control" the media and music industry, according to this theory. At an anti-Israel rally in December 2023, Jenny Leong, a New South Wales MP who belongs to the Australian Greens, claimed that an all-powerful "Jewish lobby" existed in Australia. She compared its "influence" to "tentacles".
The Sack of Bihar in 1200 AD was a pivotal incident in the Ghurid conquest of the Indian subcontinent. Muhammad Bakhtiyar Khalji led Ghurid forces against the land of Bihar, which was renowned for its leading Buddhist monasteries and institutions of learning. Khalji forces attacked these monasteries, leading to the massacre of monks and the devastation of institutions like Odantapuri and Vikramashila. This attack not only brought the annexation of southern Bihar into the Ghurid Empire but also created a significant reduction in Buddhist presence in the region. The success of this campaign opened the door for more Ghurid invasions of Bengal and further established their grip on eastern India. Background. The Ghurid campaigns in India (1175–1206) comprised a series of conquests by Muhammad of Ghor, which extended the Ghurid Empire in the Indian subcontinent. He initiated his attacks in 1175 and seized the Indus Basin from the Ghaznavids and Ismāʿīlīs. In 1192, he routed Prithviraj Chauhan at the Second Battle of Tarain, avenging a previous defeat and establishing a lasting Muslim foothold in India. Even though the Ghurid Empire disintegrated in 1215, the successes of Muhammad determined subsequent government in the land. His raids expelled a number of local kingdoms, such as the Ismāʿīlīs of Multan, Ghaznavids of Lahore, Chauhans of Ajmer, and Tomaras of Delhi. He was murdered in March 15, 1206, on the banks of the Indus. Battle. Muhammad Bakhtiyar Khilji began his rise in Bhuili near Chunar, defeating local Gahadavala chiefs and expanding eastward into Bihar. His success attracted Khiljis and Turks seeking new lands. Blocked by the powerful Hindu Karnataka dynasty in Mithila, he focused on South Bihar (territories of Lakshmana Sena of Sena dynasty and Harishchandra of Gahadavala dynasty), gaining support from Qutbuddin A
