Corporation have effectively replaced the Lords of the previous despotic regimes in the Western World.

Its not like war lords are tearing apart a civil war ridden country, with a history of European powers colonizing it.

I can't imagine the motive for making them, unless they're just hobbyists who happen to be drug lords.

Of course they blame the land lords but does it improve their situation?

I spent an embarrassing number of hours playing Lords of the Realm 2 and Civil War Generals on my first PC.

Of course, you're assuming that the undercover drug lords are intelligent.

What if mechanized warfare had been invented before the rise of the West by a non-Western civilization and transferred (via trade) to the medieval European feudal lords.

But it's not just my opinion: it's a sentiment that's been voiced in the House of Lords.

For most, Uber is this cool new disruptive startup with awesome app and cheaper service, an underdog fighting the Evil Taxi Lords.
