And yet Trump is a fascist, per the same people who think it's right for Paypal to deny processing services to some YouTubers.

The corporations have the power you give them.

You do not need to act on every prompt they give you.

The Left figured out, that if you can’t beat the corporations, take them over, and that’s precisely what has happened.

[a fool in paradise]

Trump was a fascist
Bush was a fascist
Reagan was a fascist
Nixon was a fascist
Goldwater was a fascist
etc

it’s the only song the Communist scum know and it is FALSE.

Yep
Boards and HR

It seems Seattle’s poverty of defense might destroy corporations....The poor,homeless,addicted or mentally ill will be able to clean businesses out....Watch Seattle fine any business that closes and deprives the poor and hungry of products they can sell..

This is directly at the feet of Obama and the Democrats - they weaponized the banks to act as police and enforcers for gun running and other items Obama’s administration earmarked and would trigger an instant investigation into the banks and credit card processors for continuing to do business with these organizations.

Now this wasn’t all singlehandedly initiated by Obama as this had been building up over time - like with the patriot act and other regulations that forced banks into tracking for crimes like money laundering, organized crime and terrorism - but Obama’s admin was the one that set them after citizens for “social” crimes.

At this point I couldn’t care less what happens to the Corporations, they are the primary force of evil, in cahoots with the Deep State.

Well, this person is looking at the problem in a way dictated by the forces he abjures.

It’s much more simple: we have a corporate media today that is just like the “company media” we’ve often had in the past.

The “company medias” of the past only had local monopoly. Today’s has global monopoly.

The “public square” is controlled by a few very, very rich people.

"The corporations have the power you give them."

I guess that when you want to visit family across the country that you flap your arms instead of flying commercial airlines? Many businesses no longer take cash payments, how do you get around that, do you own your own bank? I assume that you live off-grid and don't consume electricity for a major, public ally traded utility? When you get in a car accident are you going to demand that you don't get treated at a corporate hospital chain? Did you build your own car?

Your statment is ignorant and puerile.

these arses can't put two and two together....

the covid lockdown has increased the wealth of the richest people in the world by 27% .

Just as Paddy Chayefsky warned us, through the character of Howard Beale....

"[Fascist] it’s the only song the Communist scum know and it is FALSE."

Of course it's false. They know it's false.

The point is to grab power and to erase USA history and to put dissenters like us into the USA Gulags or ditches in cornfields.

They are serious. They are organized. They are coming for us. No joke.

Most Americans are in a stupor and have zero awareness of what they've been seeing in 2020 and before (pick your dates, 1995 or 2008).

It's the long run to tyranny, murder, genocide, theft and destruction of the Republic.

It can't happen here? Yes it can. It is happening here, real time and in full view.

Someone wants the eradication of the Republic and those who once supported it. Most importantly, they want the land, even if it's fertilized by American citizens.

That is the objective. That's "globalism."

Truth

[jonrick46]

The only thing the Communist scum know is how to lie. It the only way a stupid person thinks because it takes an intellect to speak the truth.

[TigersEye]

I guess that when you want to visit family across the country that you flap your arms instead of flying commercial airlines?

If I had family across the country I would drive.

Many businesses no longer take cash payments, how do you get around that, do you own your own bank?

I go to a business that accepts cash.

I assume that you live off-grid and don't consume electricity for a major, public ally traded utility?

I don't live off grid but my electricity by the small town I live in.

When you get in a car accident are you going to demand that you don't get treated at a corporate hospital chain?

My small-town hospital isn't corporate. Neither are several in nearby larger towns.

Did you build your own car?

Basically, yes.

HR = Zampolits
Boards = Politburo.

So whatever you do to survive in the wild, go do it. The article makes some good points.

The line between some conservatives and Bernie fans is thin.

One of the "nice" things about the free market, is rarely does a "large powerful corporation" stay as such. And every 10-20 years, a bunch of usually pro-Business people start demanding a breakup of a "monopoly." Inevitably the market sorts stuff out better than government.

Take browsers...remember Netscape? They had 90% of the market. Then Explorer came along and crushed them. Then people cried for Microsoft to be broken up. Then I.E. became a has-been and Chrome now stands tall...unless you are on a phone in which case Safari is tops.

Here is the case in point - largest compamies by market cap by year, stacked with the largest on down :

I'll take my chance with companies vs government. And, to be blunt, for every ten dumbasses using Google, there are two smart folks using Duck Duck Go...for every ten people shopping on Amazon there are a few people at local retailers. For everyone ten people buying steak at Whole Foods there are a few people who've forged a relationship with a local farmer that yields better and healthier food.

Why some people whine about voluntarily bondage is beyond me.
