    liberals completely making up historical things that didn't occur. They can't see history as a sequence of class struggles at all. They think of the development of capitalism as an enlightened set of rules between people nodding and saying "I agree." All historical development occurs when one or two smart and probably white guys make a declaration they've invented cool new ideas. Then everyone nods and says they agree, and their ideas manifest into reality.

    Apparently the video is about how the Unity video game engine is going to charge everyone who uses it a fee based on the monthly revenue of the game being made, which is still normal everyday capitalism. They want to call it feudalism because this somehow violates the rules they made up for how capitalism is supposed to work.

      not really related but the Unity debacle isn't about Unity charging a fee based on project revenue, but on install numbers, as determined by them through some unspecified, hidden means. they just announced this last week and were met with immediate backlash from pretty much every dev who uses their tools.
