Seems like you just learned about Feudalism and you’re applying it to something it isn’t.

An example of a feudal context: real estate companies that made Drump and his father big.
Blackstone Group, Gray Star Real Estate, Vonovia SE, LEG Immobilien AG, China Vanke, and so on.
These are all multi-billion dollar companies that are still controlled by people. They are not state-owned companies or anything that would be useful to society. This is about profits.
You can, of course, continue to insist that my blanket statement is not entirely correct, but I stand by it. Not much has changed since feudalism: there are still masters and servants — and I think it will always be that way.
So, I’m not saying that it’s something new — quite the contrary — I’m saying that hardly anything has changed in hundreds of years.

Hierarchy will always exist yes, you did not discover something new. I don’t know if I would describe it in the context of masters and slaves though, for sure there is a lot of inequality but overall the difference in quality of life between the elites and the common person is much less than under feudalism. And you have a lot more agency over the outcome of your life.
