    Your cynicism can’t defeat me, man. I am God’s holy warrior. I crush weak pessimism like yours beneath the weight of my iron will.

    How is it you think private companies will be more easily coercible when Trump’s cronies are the private sector?

      Rofl. Your god can eat a dick. I’ve seen exactly what your god does.

      It’s easier to start a competing company than it is to start a competing government.

      You need a powerful standing army for the latter, and standing armies are part of why we’re in the trouble we’re in.

        Not when Trump’s government refuses to do anything about all the slapp suits PayPal levies against you for treading on their financial turf.

        You need a powerful standing army for the latter,

        Corporations, without oversight, just become warlords with their own standing armies. You’re not getting out of this one through the low effort of simply buying a different brand of latte, man, I’m sorry.
