How technology unifies
Technology allowing higher concentration of power-holding (physical and imaginary), and generally increasing unity among humans (in some form).
Digital currency:
Labor without free will: Notably machines are labor without other motives than given, becoming a (very) reliable extension of system (unlike humans who easily defect). Part of human obsoleteness.
Rapid communication:
Reliance on electricity: Notably the replacement of non-electric equipment with counterpart. The controllers of electricity can use it as leverage (similar to the food-holders and military-holders).
Increasing strength of offensive warfare and obsoleteness of geographical barriers: More deadly and quick combat (due to more powerful (offensive) weapons and difficulty hiding and making or using barriers and distance) can notably reduce want for fighting (due to humans commonly disliking violence (when it happens to them)) and allow easier elimination (killing, threatening, detaining, scaring) of unwanted humans, notably anti-establishment people.
Population growth and urbanization:
Calls for decentralizing technological power:
Rise of centralization: Because of tendency to centralize, the (new) advantages of centralization become more accessible.
