Evil and corporate, certainly; government, no. As horrific as corporate influence in government is, it's not the same horror as a corporation being the government.

Like the difference between being guillotined and being crucified. Both are bad, and for the same basic reason, and you should do whatever you can to escape the fate of either - but one is definitely worse.

I’ve probably posted more here in just the last couple months than my entire decade+ years old Reddit account LMAO

Same. On topics on than Romeposting(tm) I'd love to go back to being a lurker and only an occasional contributor. I imagine it'll be a while before that day comes, though.

If the bidding doesn't hit at least 6 digits, then we know for sure that Hexbear's paranoia about the CIA undermining them is unfounded 🕶

Explanation: The British East India Company was a British corporation which, in the 1700s and 1800s, managed to worm itself into power over most of the Indian subcontinent, ruling over Indian kings and princes - including a company army that was larger than the actual British army. Talk about regulatory capture!

Considering that tankies are already treated with kid gloves by many mods who are afraid of being accused of 'bias' (despite tankies accusing them of bias even when they're treated with the utmost patience), this doesn't bode well.
