It reminds me of the same people who think they live in a democratic society
rather than a polycratic society. They think they have the right for free
speech and influence to vote (vanilla or vanilla white), but the manufactured
consent has only led to this /perception/. As soon you want to take the small
guy's freedom away, you can.
It's amazing what industry-imposed /education/ can achieve. As some on the Web
say, Microsoft employee have been further brainwashed into a state that is
hard to recover from. Talk about MBA training sessions... people in diapers
learning how to abuse others and have no guilt about it.
Anyway...
