Right. Everybody gets so hyped up on the meta that when someone speaks out against it, they are immediately called lunatics, liars, and idiots. The outcasts get pushed further away. This cycle turns into a spiral.

The spiral does not prioritize truth. Yet truth is what the meta seems to care most about at the moment. Victims of their own demise.

Because there's nothing stopping US politicians from accepting bribes from big corporations for policy favors. It may as well actually be communism when you end up with the same level of absolute power for the corporate leaders as you would have amongst the government leaders in communism.
