  Impertinent to imply I trust corporations either. Who was it that fascism is the fusion of corporations and government?

    Modern fascism i would say. As some europeans might remember different (but not substantially different) fascisms.

    Its just the old gaming of the system, we replaced dukes and barons with corporations. And thats much worse.

      I don’t know if calling them “corporations” is even accurate. That’s being too kind. Anonymizing the villains of this story.

      It’s not the random Amazon delivery driver. It’s Jeff Bezos. He’s the baron here. Name and shame.

      It’s not the random engineer cleaning up Elon’s latest temper tantrum at Twitter, it’s Elon musk.

        At some point management beyond the owners are complicit and I’ve met plenty of scum in the C and exec levels of corporations.

      Sure. We all hate Elon, but he’s no Gille de Rais.

    Mussolini I believe... although not I look for it I find quotes from him, but not anything approaching that line so I'm probably wrong.

    Glad to have helped here!
