#3It's rather funny how the very types that are going on about corporations and fascism and colonialism and exploitation, etc. today, are also the ones generally supportive of the likes of Facebook, Amazon, Google and their tech-tyranny and tech-colonialism.
It's no different than the original elite's colonization and exploitation through extraction of natural resources in the past, and the neo-colonial exploitation by the elite through human-resource extraction of immigration today. It's now the new tech-colonization of societies and the harvesting and extraction of information-resources. And it is making the very few ever richer, faster.
