One of the most surreal things about the descent into corporatocracy and fascism is how willing a large part of society is to let it happen. People aren't just rolling over either, they're actively inviting the fascists to take over. LinkedIn is more deranged than ever with all the "Elon is a genius" and "Trump knows business best" takes. It's definitely infuriating but it's also extremely disheartening. You think you know someone, and then you see what sort of lunacy they like on social media. Anyone that says that things are bad, that what is happening is scary, is branded as "woke". And "woke" is bad. It is bad to say that societies should be run with the interests of the people as the number one priority. Apparently it is deranged to think that compassion is something that we should be leading with. No, if you think like this, you are a silly child who does not understand the realities of life. You don't know what the businessmen and entrepreneurs know; they're the true leaders of society. Everything is being commoditized. Everybody is a consumer. We are no longer citizens. We are consumers; customers. I fucking hate it. I FUCKING HATE IT.
