If you complain of course, inevitably they're going to stick you with the climate denier label among with other things
That's interesting. I find complaining about getting schlonged at the market is a great common talking point with people I disagree with politically.
Megacorps don't care. Monopolies and cartels are allowed to operate freely because they pay the right politicians, so if they all agree to fuck you, they will. Modern-era interpersonal relationships means no one has any qualms about screwing over their customers, their neighborhoods, or their people. Add in the competency crisis, and the knowledge to actually make shit that works even on a basic level will be gone from all things in a generation.
You already see this today in tech. It started with bugfest games that barely run and need 3 months of patches even on fixed-hardware consoles. We're now in the part where your new phone might actually be diagnosed as schizophrenic with glitches you just have to get used to. My parent's Linux-based computer went tits up because apparently nvidia drivers are broken on the newest kernel but the package repo pushed the update out anyway.
