Like that’s just how late stage capitalism works ya dummy. Of course the government is gonna protect corporations if they get kickback from it. American libertarians act like this is some kind of authoritarian regulatory bullshit when in reality it’s just a logical extension of unfettered capitalism.

    It's just capitalist apologism by way of a "no true scotsman". "No all the obvious horrible consequences of capitalism aren't intended", "that's the bad capitalism", "it's because they aren't doing it right", "the gooberment is messing it up". etc. etc.

    Any meaningful analysis of the inner workings of capitalism and the material conditions it generates quickly reveals all of this to be a direct inevitable consequence of the capitalist system.

    But the Chuds and their more centrist allies always move the goal post.
