      You mean that local mom and pop store that was briefly allowed to exist to maintain the illusion before they got crushed by a corporate juggernaut?

      When a society allows itself to be psychologically manipulated in such an all pervasing manner, the people participate in their own subjugation and call it freedom.

      There exists one of the most powerful groups on the planet who considers it their right to sneak inside your mind to twist your decision making ability to whatever amoral ends they like. They pump their filth into your head your every waking hour, and they’ll get into your dreams once they have the technology. Rather than revulsion and disgust, your reaction to this is “ok, but maybe just a little less than they do now.”

      What a surprise.

      No. There is nowhere in the world more sacred than our own minds, and no one else has the right to worm their way inside, en masse, to alter them as they will.
