Why do we keep asking why, as if they'll hold themselves accountable to us? They know they have a double standard in their favor, and they'll keep falling back to it for as along as it works.
So the questions we should be asking, not to them but to ourselves and each other, is how long are we going to allow them to get away with it?
How long are we going to pay the media that covers for them for the privilege of being entertained by them?
How long are we going to choose the tech companies that actively work against us, rather than find alternatives that may not provide the same convenience?
And how long are we going to choose products that are made in countries that are hostile to us over our own children and Veterans?
We have it in our power to act. The question is, do we have the will? So far, the answer is "no".
Great post. You’re absolutely right.
