#3"...Google execs all work for their shareholders, in a psychotic "market system" in which the myth of "fiduciary duty" is said to require companies to hurt us right up to the point where the harms they inflict on the world cost them more than the additional profits those harms deliver"
Nailed it.

Would you be assuaged if it was titled "Ad-tech is police state tech"?

This comment is dismissing a thoughtful and factual article by the character of the writer rather than the truth of their words. Interesting.

I think online at least, this has become fairly normal for many of the most charged words/accusations/charges.
The problem with doing this, of course, is that when the word is needed for something it actually represents, you run the risk of people thinking you're talking about something mundane.

The only interest the Nazi's had in socialism was eliminating it. They invented privatisation and crushed unions.

You’re forgetting that a key aspect to fascist systems is tracking and identifying individuals and removing any privacy barriers so they can be classified and prosecuted.

> Fascism, at least as the Nazi's defined and implemented it, is the belief that a socialist economy will work when the people have a similar genetic likeness.
Wrong. You can read Umberto Eco's essay "Ur-Fascism" to have a more informed view.
