I am tired of a social equilibrium where the default state of things is that companies or governments will do ridiculous, abhorrent things and then maybe if there is a loud enough backlash or protest they might revert some of it.

Like this results in just complete DDOS of the backlash / protest system.

And maybe that's what they are hoping for.

Most people on here share this sentiment and endorse the exact laissez faire economic dogma that gave us a world run by corporations in the first place.

And let’s be clear: “big government” talk is meaningless squabble. The corporate order loves having a big government who protects it. What we need is a government (of any size) who works for the people.
