    Of course they are. They’ll ban discussion of democracy next, and then voting.

        I associate it with “The Space Merchants” and their corporate congress.

        It’s a really good book written in 1952 and talks about climate change, rampant corporate greed, synthetic meat… Really good read.

      Damn right they should!

      Managed Democracy is the true path, all who resist it shall suffer our wrath~.

      (I hate the possibility that this could be a real thing in the future)
