As a result of Republicans radically altering our economy, redistributing wealth from the bottom up, and destroying regulation, corporations have become nations unto themselves, removed from democracy and restraint

We’re witnessing a terrifying evolution

We’re still viewing reality through an increasingly obsolete lens. The era of nation states and democracy is giving way to a new dominant form: corporations that are their own states and control the nations that birthed them while silently destroying democratic institutions.

So much of our politics is spectacle, theater that provides entertainment and the illusion of control while masking that our government and society has become a subsidiary of corporations.

So much of our nonsense and self-inflicted damage is linked back to this.

The origins of the modern corporation give us an idea of where we are going.

Corporations were created explicitly to carry out slavery and systematic exploitation and destruction of cultures. They came to wield independent armies, controlled continents.

We are regressing rapidly in our politics and culture as corporations are evolving and systematically destroying our institutions and sovereignty.

We have to recognize this before it’s too late and there’s literally nothing left to do.
