It's not the "cult of greed", it the cult of authoritarianism.
The primary purpose of the police in this society is to (1) protect the government, and assert the government demands by any means necessary, and (2) protect the corporate system.
I wasn’t talking about the police. I understand their egotistical authoritarianism hangups. I was talking about the “Private Business Rights” cult. There is a HUGE following of this cult here. A business can do absolutely no wrong in any and all circumstances no matter what they are. The customer is ALWAYS WRONG and the business is ALWAYS RIGHT.
This cult will defend a business even if the business is committing very real codified crimes like fraud. This cult will defend a business no matter how immoral or greedy the business is. They always hold the dollar more valuable than any all legal and moral standards. So if you ever wonder why a particular defense of business becomes radical, extreme, and irrational around here this is why. It is that cult of greed over morality.
