This has nothing to do with sky advertising. It just made me a little happy to know that there’s at least one other person out in the world that’s read a history book at some point.

It doesn’t but I mean in a corporations not feeding any consequence way.
Obviously ads are not like company towns or the coal union suppression.
But I do think corporations were only more hostile to people in that era. And modern companies have zero fear of repercussions, because they face none.

Yeah, well.
Unfortunately it’s a deliberately untaught period in our history, so the vast majority of Americans have never heard of it and probably can’t conceive of literally going to war against corporations, so it makes me happy whenever I come across someone who’s aware of it.
