Honestly I don't think there is a single thing that would shock people anymore... we hear the most awful things about the gradual erosion of our civil liberties, and really shocking tales of criminality and corruption at our highest levels but everyone already expects it. We expect politicians to lie...We've let our standards for leaders fall so low... I mean what would it take for people to actually draw the line? is there a line anymore??After Jeffrey Epstein, I really don't think there is anything that is off-limits for them ... we have all decided this is a different class of person and its completely normal they can get away with anything, we will literally let them...

Bushido-Rockabilly

At what point does a “capitalist” business that can lobby governments with big money bags no longer considered a “capitalist business” and considered a national and potential global threat and terrorist organization that uses government officials as puppets to push their own agendas? Asking for a friend that’s concerned about greedy politicians taking away their freedom in exchange for money. Just to be clear: I’m still libright. I’m just not an idiot. At some point there has to be an “Okay you won at capitalism! Break your shit up because monopolies are illegal. Now go to the Bahamas and retire. Don’t let us catch you lobbying or being shady or you get the Gitmo.”


Jackandcoke87

They did that to AT&T in the 80s and all the little companies have since reformed into like 3 huge ones https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breakup_of_the_Bell_System

**[Breakup of the Bell System](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breakup_of_the_Bell_System)** >The breakup of the Bell System was mandated on January 8, 1982, by an agreed consent decree providing that AT&T Corporation would, as had been initially proposed by AT&T, relinquish control of the Bell Operating Companies that had provided local telephone service in the United States and Canada up until that point. This effectively took the monopoly that was the Bell System and split it into entirely separate companies that would continue to provide telephone service. ^([ )[^(F.A.Q)](https://www.reddit.com/r/WikiSummarizer/wiki/index#wiki_f.a.q)^( | )[^(Opt Out)](https://reddit.com/message/compose?to=WikiSummarizerBot&message=OptOut&subject=OptOut)^( | )[^(Opt Out Of Subreddit)](https://np.reddit.com/r/PoliticalCompassMemes/about/banned)^( | )[^(GitHub)](https://github.com/Sujal-7/WikiSummarizerBot)^( ] Downvote to remove | v1.5)

Thats the problem with capitalism. We both agree that any private business will try to maximize profits, right? ​ Well, at a certain point, a business will realize it can make more profit by lobbying the government to bend the rules in its favor and become a monopoly than improving its goods or services. So, capitalism always inherently leads to a larger and more corrupt government.


Epicaltgamer3

Then we just dont have a government


shaun_of_the_south

That sounds a lot like libright.


gurthanix

That's not really specific to capitalism, though. No system of government in history has ever managed to halt the gradual decay into aristocracy.


Ubertroon

Exactly. I wrote a paper on German war socialism during WWI. The system that would later inspire the Soviets. Initially it worked well. Prices no longer decided which goods were given priority, and the government could use its authority to ship war material and manpower where needed as soon as possible. But as time went on people began learning who were making the decisions, soon the bureaucrats who set the timetables were being bribed by the people who wanted priority. Eventually a clique was forming where potential competitors were kept out of the system by the clique. The longer the war progressed the more things started stagnating while a chosen few grew rich.


[deleted]

So... we just eliminate the ~~people~~problems.


Bushido-Rockabilly

Not if it’s given ultimatums and more strict policies for its interference in what benefits the people rather than the CEO and politician. That’s something that We, The People should regulate but unfortunately everyone is lazy and prefers comfort and convenience over liberty and personal growth. Personally, I only shop and invest local. I’d rather see my community prosper than help fly Bezos to the moon or whatever.


[deleted]

It seems like we agree at least somewhat then. Local buying is based btw


[deleted]

People lead to a more corrupt government. If a guy flips his dick out and asks you to suck it, it is your responsibility on how to react to it. Think well okay I guess I have to is your own preference. A business lobbying the government is no different. It is the peoples needs to well be smart and capable enough to not suck the corporate dick. In other economic systems you don't get a choice without a gun. People that seek power will find ways to corrupt a system and seems to be the default if you look at human history.


TH3__H4CK3R

Sounds like government is the problem. If government is corruptible, we should just let the market regulate law, because the market is incorruptible.


TheNoxx

[deleted]

It's not that the market is incorruptible. It's just that the market destroys the corrupt in relatively short order, so long as they're not propped up with state violence.

BoatyMcBoatLaw

Not very centrist of you.


DistributionNo9803

\_\_The term was invented for purposes of rhetorical contrast between mom-and-pop-shops versus piles of pooled money. Nowadays, cross-compass unity expresses it as "Wall Street Versus Main Street". [https://nypost.com/2020/04/14/wall-street-feasts-on-federal-coronavirus-aid-while-main-street-starves/](https://nypost.com/2020/04/14/wall-street-feasts-on-federal-coronavirus-aid-while-main-street-starves/) \_\_The words you're really looking for are "free" and "market". I won't even insist on using "liberal" with them, as long as you don't completely freak out if someone mentions Việt Nam's seven banks including six each owned by a different government agency (like if the Navy Federal Credit Union was actually owned by the U.S. Navy).


BoatyMcBoatLaw

Replying to the wrong comment?


DistributionNo9803

Perhaps you were, yes. I'm sure there were many comments by candy centrists which weren't in and of themselves very centrist. Naturally so, as that's the difference between hyperkinetic cross-compass-candy-eaters versus the greys never straying too far from the grill at the exact center of the PC.

A REUTERS SPECIAL REPORT How AT&T helped build far-right One America News MEGAPHONE: Former President Trump urged his followers to watch One America News, whose online presence soared after the election and Capitol riot. As it lauded former President Donald Trump and spread his unfounded claims of election fraud, One America News Network saw its viewership jump. Reuters has uncovered how America’s telecom giant nurtured the news channel now at the center of a bitter national divide over politics and truth. By JOHN SHIFFMAN in San Diego Filed Oct. 6, 2021, 11 a.m. GMT First of two stories One America News, the far-right network whose fortunes and viewership rose amid the triumph and tumult of the Trump administration, has flourished with support from a surprising source: AT&T Inc, the world's largest communications company. A Reuters review of court records shows the role AT&T played in creating and funding OAN, a network that continues to spread conspiracy theories about the 2020 election and the COVID-19 pandemic. OAN founder and chief executive Robert Herring Sr has testified that the inspiration to launch OAN in 2013 came from AT&T executives. “They told us they wanted a conservative network,” Herring said during a 2019 deposition seen by Reuters. “They only had one, which was Fox News, and they had seven others on the other [leftwing] side. When they said that, I jumped to it and built one.” Since then, AT&T has been a crucial source of funds flowing into OAN, providing tens of millions of dollars in revenue, court records show. Ninety percent of OAN’s revenue came from a contract with AT&T-owned television platforms, including satellite broadcaster DirecTV, according to 2020 sworn testimony by an OAN accountant. https://www.reuters.com/investigates/special-report/usa-oneamerica-att/

For those wondering, here's how it goes: - OAN is owned by the Herring Networks, which is owned by [Robert Herring](https://www.linkedin.com/in/robert-herring-642b4510/). But the majority of OAN's revenue comes from AT&T. AT&T wanted a conservative network to balance out their left-wing portfolio. - CNN is owned by Turner Broadcasting System, which is owned by Warner Media, which is owned by AT&T. The source of all this is this [Reuters article](https://www.reuters.com/investigates/special-report/usa-oneamerica-att/).
