it is baffling and confounding that no one realizes that US companies are the state. this isn't something that one needs to be a Marxist to understand. When they talk about both Google's and the US's spying, do libs say "yeah one is just fine but the other one is the scary problem" ? . No but when chinese companies spy, every lib says in unison "and that's how the CCP spies on you." Almost like "their profit motive isn't pure enough for me to trust them b/c they are on orders from the CCP, but US companies are corrupt enough for my trust."
