Fully agreed that companies have way too much influence in politics in general where they should have none.
The scariest thing is that it isn't just politicians they have influence over, it's people. Just a handful of companies own all the TV networks, and many of the most influential websites report back to establishment media masters. We see certain people getting signal boosted, but who did that? Oh, look at that it's our corporate overlords or their partners in government. It's a situation where entire world issues are the puppets of the same company yelling at each other.
That's the biggest thing to remember: They've got overwhelming money, they can pay entire rooms full of the smartest people in the world to just sit and figure out how to get you to agree to whatever they want. They don't even need to be honest about what they're doing, so they might pretend they're against a certain thing because that's the easiest way to get what they want.
In that sense, it might be good for the world to muzzle corporations entirely. They aren't people, they're legal constructs, and as legal constructs they shouldn't have a voice. if their owners want to have a political opinion, they can speak themselves.

Never ending pursuit of status and not growing out of the immaturity that causes you to make decisions based on what others think about
Neither really.
We just shouldn't be, and should not have been involved over there.

Wow! Get a load of these nutjob conspiracy theorists at the Wall Street Journal

I think we're already seeing that starting, so I tend to agree with you.
Not just the poor or the idle rich, the administrative class is overwhelming the actual productive classes. There's a use for administrators, but when there's a disparity between the prestige and money for doing a thing compared to administrating doing a thing there's a big problem and you end up with too many people trying to manage the one person actually doing the thing.

Frame on the right should show Blackrock with an arm over his shoulder saying, "it was worth it."
The absolute superficial self absorption and hubris to complain loudly to everyone for no reason that you can't find a good bagel outside NYC as if they owe you an apology.
Nobody cares.
Nobody cares.
I'm sure there is a perfectly reasonable explanation for an Olympics theme centered on a pandemic and death, but like, ..what is it?
> The end justifies the means
What end though? Becoming a vassal state of the West?
Putin wanted Ukraine to be neutral and independence for ethnically Russian areas.
Are the means justified to avoid that?
I can see how zalenski and blackrock end up on top, but I can't see how this was a better path for the average Ukrainian.

> people of Ukraine managed to stand against giant imperial horde
I guess it's a bit of a Rorschach test.
I see mass inscription, Zalenski on a never ending world tour for Western proxy war support, and a lock-step narrative from every media outlet of significance in the Western world.
It looks like a proxy war between NATO and Russia because it is.
Seems like Ukrainians are pawns in a game unfortunately.
