I highly recommend this interview in which Yanis Varoufakis points out that in the west under what he calls 'technofeudalism' we actually help the system to train us - every time we interact with facebook, google, amazon and the rest we are giving up information which tells the system what to present us with next, thereby keeping us in a little bubble, and also feeds into corporate and state governing and control giving them the ability to predict our behaviour, keep us in line, reduce their risk and increase their profit. It's a whole new paradigm of modern life. https://chrishedges.substack.com/p/technofeudalism-what-killed-capitalism

The general population doesn’t know what’s happening, and it doesn’t even know that it doesn’t know.
