    “Yes I would like a government that narrowly resisted a violent coup a couple years ago to be able to link me to every off the cuff remark I’ve ever crapped out.”

        Impertinent to imply I trust corporations either. Who was it that fascism is the fusion of corporations and government?

          Modern fascism i would say. As some europeans might remember different (but not substantially different) fascisms.

          Its just the old gaming of the system, we replaced dukes and barons with corporations. And thats much worse.

            I don’t know if calling them “corporations” is even accurate. That’s being too kind. Anonymizing the villains of this story.

            It’s not the random Amazon delivery driver. It’s Jeff Bezos. He’s the baron here. Name and shame.

            It’s not the random engineer cleaning up Elon’s latest temper tantrum at Twitter, it’s Elon musk.

              At some point management beyond the owners are complicit and I’ve met plenty of scum in the C and exec levels of corporations.

                Good management is like the one at my dad’s work, where they basically insisted on him staying home and relaxing after some health issues, because they know the company is a soulless machine and giving sick people paid leave isn’t even going to amount to a rounding error for the finances.

          Mussolini I believe… although not I look for it I find quotes from him, but not anything approaching that line so I’m probably wrong.

          Glad to have helped here!

        I have an incredible amount to hide, because I am a living human. How’s my day going? What are you, a cop?
