I'm not sure the Ben Shapiro strategy is really the best one...

do you want all your youtube habits to be in the hands of the government?
They already are
Peasant uprisings were much less common than labor unrest today, though granted that isn't exactly the same.
Additionally, exploitation in peasant economies was not always as transparent as you indicate. Often, it was at least slightly hidden. For example, a peasant might be required to give sacks of grain to the lord who owns the mill, and instead of being allowed to keep some for seeds, they must buy the seeds from the lord, inequalities here can hold the exploitation. Further, debt was a constant of feudal relations and gives a veneer of legitimacy to exploitation, just as it does today. Further, surplus value extraction can be seen as acceptable to the peasant if they believe it is justified. The lord can claim that his cut is in exchange for protection, insurance, and other services. This applies to taxation today.
That is the only example in the last 10 years and they only 'succeeded' because bytedance was willing to burn tens of billions of dollars.
I don't think this is actually true, feudal relations were very stable and persisted for millennia in some places. It feels that way because the propaganda machine isn't justifying feudal social relations currently. Company housing for example is slowly becoming more popular, even in the west.
None of those videos show torture or even civilian targeting beyond taking hostages which no one denies anyways. What exactly is the point of linking things you haven't even looked at.
Just for the sake of clarity, what exactly do you think will happen?
The gardeners of Europe.

Hopefully this means they will treat these failed property developers as running Ponzi schemes (which they were) and claw back as much as possible to clean up the mess.
There is an insane sampling bias there since youtubers want to make exactly that video so they will actively seek out the products that let them make that video. I'd further point out that the products actual Chinese people buy largely don't have those problems.
This, except its the other way around. The amount of American crying about cyberattacks is crazy given the amount of evidence they have provided.
One of the fundamental problems of Trotskyists. When they are called Stalinist they fold like wet tissue paper.
