We aren't a fucking democracy. We are literally a corporate oligarchy masquerading as a republic. There has always been some voter fraud, but this recent election and the GA run off show that TPTB can do whatever the fuck they want. Look at Bidens cabninent for fucks sake. The last thing I want is a government controlled internet, but something tells me we won't have much of a say on this...

The only entity which can restrain the activities of corporations is the government. You can be opposed to it for ideological reasons but at some point you must accept reality. The government is at least subject to public approval in the form of voting for elected officials who serve as representatives to pass the laws.

Corporations by contrast only serve the interest of private individuals.
