yet another year goes by where tech companies seem to be influencing the state.

What a fascinating time to live in.

Fascist-enabling eh?

[–] billwashere@lemmy.world 11 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Of course they are. There’s money involved.

[–] KillingTimeItself@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 11 months ago (2 children)

weird how money seems to play a role in something thats supposed to be controlled by the people

[–] KillingTimeItself@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 11 months ago

i thought the whole point of corporations was that they werent people

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

Well the people want more money. They can’t have enough of it

To be fair, corporations have always influenced the government. For better, or for worse.

still trying to figure out why. Seems like the counter intuitive thing to happen. But what do i fucking, i'm just a citizen of the US, the US government is responsible to me, it's not like i have a say in this or anything.

Don't want to repeat myself, so I'll just point you to this comment from me.

[–] KillingTimeItself@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 11 months ago

i'm interested to see what all the offshoots of cyberpunk are.

We've already got solarpunk.
