>Example: During the COVID-19 pandemic, some left-leaning individuals defended pharmaceutical companies like Pfizer and Moderna when they were criticized for profit motives related to the vaccine. They might argue that, despite concerns over price gouging, the rapid development and global distribution of vaccines were ultimately beneficial in combating the pandemic.

>Example: Ben & Jerry’s is a widely supported example in the left-leaning community. The ice cream company, owned by Unilever, has taken progressive stances on issues such as climate change, racial justice, and workers' rights. Some leftists will defend Ben & Jerry’s because of its commitment to social justice, even though it’s part of a global corporation.

>Example: In the case of Twitter, during debates around content moderation or platform censorship, some leftists might defend the company’s role in ensuring free speech while others on the left criticize the platform for censorship. Some would argue that despite its flaws, social media is crucial for amplifying progressive voices and social movements.

>Example: Twitter took actions to moderate or label tweets from former President Donald Trump and other figures who were spreading misinformation about the election results. For example, Twitter placed a warning label on Trump’s tweets claiming widespread election fraud and even suspended his account after the January 6 Capitol insurrection.

When the argument at hand is government versus corporations, there's not much you can do to cloud the rhetoric. The obvious solution is that government and corporations need to serve as a check to one another as doing so empowers us all. The bots and bad faith actors thus pivot to simple disruption. Whatever to keep natural opinions from developing.

>wait but then who do the bad actors represent
Both. You got corporate bootlickers and government bootlickers. You can spot them by how forgiving they are towards their side while simultaneously aggressive they are towards sympathizers on the other side. Again, it's easy to see, so the conversation is intentionally brought to brain damage so we, the poorfags (which include you normal rich anons here in this context, sorry. you're the same as far as world powers go), can't coalesce properly.

It's like how you could acknowledge you fucking despise grannies but also recognize that the current fascist movement is using you as a means to an end and ultimately sees you as cattle regardless, or how lefties need to understand that companies using pride app icons and shilling pride month were always empty platitudes, yet because it boosts awareness, they feel morally obligated to accept and defend it.

Sorry, I rambled. This shit just pisses me off. We're a bunch of easily controlled monkeys and nowadays it seems like everyone knows that and seems to love it for some reason, as if people are proud to return to tribalism, especially in such a fucked up situation. It's disgusting.

>or how lefties need to understand that companies using pride app icons and shilling pride month were always empty platitudes
I've been seeing a lot of these people pissed off and in disbelief at how corpos left them behind as soon as it became convenient. Before that, it was only irritation that the rainbow flags on their corporate platforms were absent in any non-western country. My optimistic outlook is that the harrowing reality checks they've gotten the last six months or so will actually stick for the majority of them.

>>714894207
Anyway, this is a great book. I highly recommend it. The title makes you think its a textbook, but its really a collection of anecdotes from history along the lines of "One day someone decided to implement economic policy X. 20 million people died and people resorted to eating their pets. This is why now we do Y". He also talks shit about monopolists and corporate lobbyists. Regulation is only really bad if it prevents competition and encourages monopolies.

Anyway, there's a free PDF on the Internet Archive.

People don't give a shit, therefore it wasn't an issue to them. Most people buying lead paint did it on purpose due to its weatherproofing properties.

Nobody is ingesting paint. Specifically the paint used for outdoor work and windowsills. It was only really lead in gasoline that caused most lead poising. Since that just goes straight into the air.

Anon, people have pointed for years that corpos were fake about this shit, and in general, any acceptance was on a "even if it's fake it's better it's here than if it isn't" basis, leading to many only being surprised when they dropped it this year in a "my expectations were low but did you really need to match them" sense.

This won't go anywhere, the judge in the Anthropic case just recently ruled that AI generation is fair use as long as the material is legally obtained and sufficiently transformative.

A lot of these posts seem very insincere and i suspect they're bots or shills, legitimately, who wants companies to be able to uninstall and permanently remove games you put hours in? like why is it so important they be able to attack people for buying stuff? it isn't a liberal or right wing issue it's just "i want to keep the thing i fucking bought" yet somehow there's opposition? seems fake and forced.

Because you were given a private license that doesn't cover distribution, alteration or anything other than playing it privately in your home. You can have that license revoked if you're found to be in violation of that.
However in the case of games being shut down, it isn't being taken from you, you bought the game with the knowledge that it could be shut down and that was printed on the back of the box or was in a bright yellow box on the steam page.
In other words, it isn't being stolen from you but a function of the game is being utilised.
