...Once upon a time, the far-left used to decry "giant corporations." Today, the giant corporations are all woke, and therefore, according to Axios, our rulers. Never mind elections. Apparently, we can't even boycott them, presumably because they are too big and ominiscent. One thing is for sure right now, yes, they now seem to have power. And it's quite possibly becoming the state.
...Both Allen and VandeHei are very smart guys, and Allen, whom I once shared a panel with, is very nice. But this analysis I see about this being a good thing, or maybe just a trend, has absolutely got to go.
Point number one: A nation of unelected corporate rulers is nothing new. It ought to scare the hell out of anyone who knows anything about history, particularly the history of Italy, Spain or Latin America, where CEOs, too, became the rulers.
It's called the corporate state. Argentina, Mexico, El Salvador, Italy, Spain, Bolivia, Chile, Peru, Brazil in one way or another had it up the wazoo. It's sometimes called mercantilism. In Spain and Italy, it was called 'fascism.'
Are we cheering fascism now? Is this the new normal? Like Peronist Argentina, which worked out so well for them? Like Mussolini's Italy? Once upon a time fascism was a bad thing. We fought a war over it. But guess what? Time has passed and wokesters have taken over. All those soldiers and home fighters in the war effort back home, were, according to wokesters, racists, and now need to be erased from history. All that's left is fascism, then. See how this works?...
Now we have a textbook example of that in the CEO of Delta who first helped craft Georgia's election integrity law and then after pressure from Joe Biden, loudly renounced the law as 'un-acceptable...

Corporations went FASCIST and they ARE trying to become The State. Oppressive and despotic. No respect for our protected rights and liberties let alone fair and free elections.
If you say anything against the Bidens you’ll be banned. Can’t even thumbsdown Joseph Stolen’s videos now and can’t even post a current video of Donald Trump speaking.
What you have is a bunch of mega-corps thinking they can dictate social, etc. policy/policies. My Solution: Break them all up like Ma Bell style, ASAP!
Can one post something like “Twitter is so scared of free speech that they ban conservative voices on a regu.ar basis”?
Wonder what “policy “ would be violated if people keep posting something along that line over and over again?
The left will just blame Citizens United, if anyone calls them on it.
Fascism it certainly is. And I might remind the folks at Axios that Mussolini was a journalist before he was a dictator.

I meant post a message about Twitter being scared of free speech on Twitter itself? Wondering if a bunch of folks did that on Twitter if they would be censored? I don’t think I’d last very long o. Twitter lol.
Despotism (Encyclopedia Britannica film, circa 1946)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TaWSqboZr1w
“A community is low on a ‘Respect’ scale if common courtesy is withheld from large groups of people on account of their political attitudes.”
“...in a downright despotism opposition is dangerous whether the despotism is official or whether it is unofficial...”
“A community rates low on the ‘Information’ scale when the press, radio, and other channels of communication are controlled by only a few people and when citizens have to accept what they are told.”
“See how a community trains its teachers”
“...these students are being taught to accept uncritically whatever they are told. Questions are not encouraged.”
“And if books and newspapers and the radio [and facebook and youtube and...] are officially controlled the people will read and accept exactly what the few in control want them to. Government censorship is one form of control. The newspaper that breaks the government censorship rule can be suspended. It is also possible for newspapers and other lines of communication to be controlled by private interests...”
Democracy (Encyclopedia Britannica film, circa 1946)

“The newspapers of a real democracy meet these tests...”
Newspaper checks.
1. Balance of coverage
2. Disclosure of source
3. Competence of staff

They shut down the whole damn world, didn’t they?

I’d like to see the corporate tax bumped up to about 70%
and guess who funds the LEFTIST media? The same giant corporations.
Its a twofer. Dump the national name brands and starve the LEFTIIST media.
The Left declares CEOs “the new lawmakers” after just blatantly cheating a CEO out of office.
Typical.
That would pretty much be the definition of fascism.
No they have always been the law makers. This time they not hiding their corporatism.
They ousted the CEOs at Mozilla and Papa John’s Pizza and have more scalps on their belt.
CEOs live by the sales of their products.
Those products are purchased, either directly or through rendered taxes, from the Ametican citizen.
Yes, if the citizen has an alternate source, buycott them!
For some of us, all there is, is the big box store, or any online vendor.
