At least two brands have said they will suspend advertising on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, after their ads and those of other companies were run on an account promoting fascism. The issue came less than a week after X CEO Linda Yaccarino publicly affirmed the company’s commitment to brand safety for advertisers.
I always say if you don’t like the idea of corporations having too much power over you, you’ll hate a government that has too much power over you.
Corporations deplatform people and shut off their electricity. Governments drag people into the street and shoot them, and firebomb cities. There’s no comparison.
Those who claim that terms like “Nazi” or “fascist” are being watered down are usually Nazis/fascists themselves, and they’re trying to cover it up by convincing everyone that Nazis/fascists don’t exist.
I know a lot of pretty normal people that dont have terminally online views and I think almost all of them would agree with the statement that “nazi” and “fascist” have been watered down. Obviously nazi’s and fascists will say they’re watered down but to lump random people in with them is not doing you any favors.

Then I question their normalcy.
Well, that or it’s now considered normal to be a fascist. I certainly hope that’s not the case, although sometimes I have to wonder.

Obviously. I’m not denying that. I’m denying that that’s actually happening to any significant extent.

I hate corporations having power over me, but I don’t mind governments.
Why? Because I get to vote on who is in those governments. I don’t have any input in those corporations.
And corporations only care about profit, with government you can at least sometimes have one that cares about the population.
If we let corporations do their thing, they would bring back slavery since that is much more profitable than paying someone even minimum wage.
Corporations would sell their own mother if they saw it as profitable.
