I never voted for him

You intentionally misquoted. You wrote:

where he argued that a truly tolerant society must retain the right to execute those who promote intolerance.

But the real quote is:

where he argued that a truly tolerant society must retain the right to deny tolerance to those who promote intolerance.

Why did you do this?

Please quote the part where Karl Popper suggests executing people.

Perhaps death is too far

So you disagree with the post about murdering people. Good!

You’re just horny to kill people.

Kinda like a… fucking Nazi.

my autistic ass

your ass has autism?

firing the entire executive staff.

Guaranteed they’re a huge expense, and they have no interest in making cool games or experiences. It’s all just angles to dominate or manipulate the customer. Like, just give us computers that play games. Focus on running fast and effective and having cool titles. But nooooo, they want gimmicks and angles and cost-cutting and microtransactions etc etc

I see you’ve played the old “lifesaver common yacht problems and fixes switcheroo” before.

This is a lifesaver. I’m printing this to display inside my luxury yacht.

You took the bait. They know that pretty much everybody cares about that.

who cares what set of genitals she’s got?

There’s no utility in defining it the way

I ready described such utility in how it opposes our shallow images of “cApiTaLisM” (and meritocracy etc). Capitalism as instantiated doesn’t match our descriptions of it. Human greed is the constant engine. Liberalism emerged from that emergent environment, and in some ways helps maintain aspects of those systems. But corporations will never actually support any ideology, whether that ideology supports or opposes “capitalism.” Corporations (or rather the humans whose greed is their engine) will, at best, stab us in the eyes and ears with ANY fractured ideological images that gets them some near-term increase in power or profits.

It isn’t socialist in any way

Doesn’t matter. All my descriptions match reality. And these are the terms we use to refer to these aspects of reality. Corporate socialism is very real, even if it isn’t socialism. Get used to it because it’s a fixture of our society.

If corporations trampled on capitalism, they would erase themselves.

Nobody in any board room will ever care about that large-scale erasure. They will each act in support of their career and their shareholders’ profits. Destroying the environment may ultimately erase all corporations. They don’t care. They cannot care. They are an algorithm for increasing profits. Larger ideological values are irrelevant. So-called capitalism (to the extent that it even exists) is a product of all this high-concept greedy animal behavior, not the cause.

That’s not what socialism is to begin with

But that’s what corporate socialism is

“Liberalism” has always generally been that which affirms capitalism

That’s one function of it (in context) but that’s not the definition. That’s not “what it is.” Also, these corporations would trample capitalism itself to gain more power.

socialism is a mode of production where public ownership is the principle aspect of the economy.

I’m not talking about socialism, I’m talking about corporate socialism, which is not a form of socialism. It’s a term which demonstrates how anti-liberal and anti-meritocratic and even anti-capitalist the top-down government-corporate control network is.

If nobody ever coined that term then everything would still be exactly the same.

I think you can install your own bluseky instance and federated with others.

Corporate socialism is when the government gives them our tax dollars to totalize top-down control. That’s not liberalism, that’s just power. They’ll trample “liberalism” to make a dollar.

They support liberalism

No they don’t. They only support making money and cornering markets for themselves. They’ll take corporate socialism and using the law to crush opinions. The idea that they “support” anything ideological is utterly wrong.

Anticipating somebody’s response:

Exactly. You just described liberalism.

No I didn’t. Corporations have no ideology. It’s pure warfare and there are no rules or values beyond making money for themselves, not on any larger societal scale. They’re just algorithms for increasing profit.

to distract from them trampling over workers rights.

100% yes

That “yet” is the narrative hook to trick us into feeling like it will soon be trustworthy, and that our assumed suspicions refer to a temporary state of untrustworthiness. Clever girls!

They support identity politics to keep people at each others’ throats (divide and conquer by identity) while cloaking themselves in empty rhetoric (nominal “support”) that makes them look moral but accomplishes nothing beyond identity-division.
