Don’t be fooled or distracted by social issues. Gay marriage. Abortion. LGBTQ rights. Equal pay. Even prison reform. All of these issues that “mainstream” American companies purport to support — they only care because you care, because you won’t buy their products if they don’t come out in favor of these issues. But make sure you understand — THEY DON’T CARE.
They are the owners of media, including major websites and the producers in silicon valley. They would be more than happy to have Trump re-elected, decry the harm to these issues, while the exploit and enjoy the fruits of fascism.
Fascism is a merging of the government and the corporate state. You don’t think the Apples aren’t salivating at the idea that we have weakened privacy protections and expectations? You don’t think that most companies are excited to perhaps rid us of the ability to sue instead of go to arbitration? And they would love to pay a just-in-time gig economy workforce.
I don’t care what you hear from big corporations… they don’t care. And they are NOT going to help us. In fact, they will probably work against us, secretly. Just remember what we are up against.
