Yeah, people say this is -'techno-feudalism' or 'neo-peasntism' but really, the petit-bourgeoification applied to the white us working class after ww2 was really a peasntification trying to recreate the yeoman economic base through financialization. With this mass purchase of housing by large capital, what we are really seeing is a return to the mid-late 19th century, when people lived in company towns, slums, or rented from someone otherwise. Which, again, is consistent with neo-liberalism, who's true project is of course to get as far back to that point (true liberalism) as possible through new mechanisms.
Great comment. That idea about neo-liberalism being a project to get back to the point of trueliberalism is super fascinating, haven't thought about it like that before.
It's just a return to form, really. This will do wonders for class consciousness, at least

Literally just capitalism. Idiots have zero understanding of the system they're in.
