You walk into a private establishment, couldn’t follow simple rules of that establishment and then pitched a fit like an entitled toddler. Then you post it as a flex on social media. I invited this guy to my house. Everything was going great until he lit up a cigarette and started smoking. There were “No Smoking” signs posted in my house so I pointed that fact out and told him to put it out. Then the guy proceeded to act like a baby pitching a fit. It was weird seeing a grown man act like that, took me by surprised. So I held his hand and took him outside where he could smoke…using my conflict resolution skills learned in Elementary school. #bitcoin #nostr View quoted note →

It took a lot of brainwashing to convince decent people that "interpersonal cruelty" meant following rules concocted by pharma-funded policymakers. Fun fact: the public paid for the vaccines, for the rule makers, and for the propaganda as well. Zero accountability for the corporations that made billions from the whole grift.

You are correct, big pharma colluded with law makers for profit. That is capitalism.

The blending of pharma and policy makers is fascism. I believe that Mussolini later used the term "Corporatism" Here's one definition I found: "Corporatism is a political ideology[1] and political system of interest representation and policymaking whereby corporate groups, such as agricultural, labour, military, business, scientific, or guild associations, come together and negotiate contracts or policy (collective bargaining) on the basis of their common interests." If corporations are writing public policy, we are no longer in a capitalist economic system (and obviously no longer in anything that could be called a democracy or a republic).

But Adam Smith warned us that this is exactly what capitalism would bring about if left unchecked. You can call by a different name but the very nature does not change.
