First Cambridge Analytica data scandal happend, then the whole world suddenly voted for right wing extremes.
I guess I should have worded that differently .... no one cares if you can maintain your own personal rights or privacy because corporations view your rights and privacy as just another commodity ready to be bought and sold.
That's how I understood it and what I'm agreeing with. It's how companies like Cambridge Analytica came to be. How people came to be so manipulated.
You do realise all these companies are left, where Musk and a hand few others are right, yeah?
Lol, whatever helps you cope.
Ok, I'll bite. How can a corporation not be capitalist?
Corporations are only publicly as right or left politically as helps their profits and PR, outside of some exceptions with CEOs that overestimate their importance (see Musk).
Disney repeatedly blames right wingers for the failure of their more diverse programming, yet removed/minimized John Boyega in the Chinese releases of the Star Wars Sequel Trilogy. They're just one of the most obvious examples, not an exception or anything.
