Don't forget Google, Apple, Oracle, Cloudflare
What's cloudflare's issue? Censorship?
Cloudflare acts like a MiTM
It would seem that we do indeed have some dragons left to slay in this world.
no mention of the solid push into fascism by the propaganda machine fox news?! wtf
Do you really think Fox has much power compared to a company like Meta?
in the united states, prolly more so. yes.
And if this somehow fails impress you, we sold over 200 billion in tools of mass murder to the rest of the world last year alone as well!
Murica 🇺🇸, profiting off human misery since our inception, the British Empire apparently passed that torch.
Makes one think who all has been benefiting from the expansion of militarism and conflict, doesn't it? But no need for us to worry, because I'm certain the peace-loving Democrats, who I'm assured by very democracy-valuing liberals, are despite all appearances definitely not nearly-indistinguishable from the open-fanged right-wing Republicans, and will stop this US militarism which is destroying the planet faster than anyone.
Pay no attention to the 3rd parties who actually come out against militarism; If we just give the wing of the bipartisan-imperialists who actually rely on working class margins whatever votes they want regardless of their actions forever, then surely because of how appreciative they are of us that they will gift to us some result that's remotely different than all of exactly this and exactly what brought us here... right?
Completely agree with all your points. On a tangential note, I wish opensecrets had an rss feed...
looks around
Anyone surprised?
Anyone?
..........anyone?
Frankly? Yes, a bit. I wouldn't have expected Tesla to make it that high and I would expect Google somewhere near the top. And I guess it focused only on american companies, or I would be much more surprised.
Whaaaaat...? In a time of economic struggles, companies would rather support fascists than risk letting socialism take over? This certainly never happened before, especially not in Germany.
What, no Xitter?
That would be a part of Telsa, as it calls out Musk's actions there.
Don't forget the companies of the US, China, Russia, Israel, and Iran. Those companies are terribly for democracy
