So countries should be entirely free to do anything they want and nobody is morally correct to stop them?

No fair, we already have too many of these fucks.

Maybe I’m just too close to the non-profit side of things to see it as a simple binary.

Evolution doesn’t have “steps”.

Every single time I see someone talk like this it is entirely without examples or explanation. Just “if you really understand the market like I, a genius, do…”

• some exceptions for CEOs that actually founded the company they remain in charge of, but they’re in the minority for sure. There’s probably variance by sector as well.

The patients have an excuse.

Those damned blue-collar tweekers, they’re runnin this here town.

The media is captured, it’s complicit, it’s bought and controlled by people like Murdoch.

Nice b8 m8.

Come get your boy Rupert Murdoch and his spawn then since we’re cleaning up our own messes, or is the architect of contemporary right-wing media control my responsibility as well?

I can’t make a legitimate constitution either, any amendment requires 38 of 50 states to agree! The entire system was built to disproportionately empower rural areas because we “needed” their economic support to break free from Great Britain. (And we had substantial foreign assistance in that endeavor)

You are exactly as capable of flying to Washington DC and “storming the capital” as I am and the result would be identical.

We got a really cool legally invisible forever-prison/torture-dungeon on stolen Cuban land, but that’s not technically South America.
