Accurate assessment of the situation in my mind. Corporations have had the government by the balls while carrot sticking them into curtailing our rights and passing laws for the simple sake of creating equity in a business or field. They lobby, they socially engineer, they demand emotional compliance from users, and they lie to our government and all of us about it. Our officials then just pat themselves on the back for such astute pageantry of ethics, and holds out their hand for the next election or big circus topic.
Lobbyist money needs to get ripped the fuck out of our government post haste. Big tech, big business for that matter, has more control over our government and politics than all of us combined do. Politicians are bought and sold these days, money equals power, power equals freedom and exemption from the law. With Booble, Fuckbook, Titter, Cramazon and Jesos that fucking shit stain, Sore Ohs, Goonberg, Biacom, Halle Burton, General Electic, Flyzer Farmahooticals, fucking Bitchmade Knives for crissake— each one has more votes in their pocket than you and I will ever have combined. All of them hate that you have a vote at all, of course they would blackball you in any way they can because politicians cost a goddamned fortune. It sure a shit ain't right, though.
Oh yea. Let's not forget Operation Cockingbird, either, just because I hate playing absolute favourites when it comes to flavors of deceptive mass media and political manipulation.
