      Corporations lie blatantly all the fucking time.

      Its just that they lie in ways that usually are not able to be legally defined as some kind of a legally actionable version of a lie.

      They are usually more worried with ever having outwardly admitting something that they could be sued over, than they are with any kind of human to human sense of accountability or believability.

      Every, single, thing they are mass releasing or designing as an official stance has gone through some kind of legal team, or a team under a legal team that follow’s guidelines from a legal team.

      This is just how megacorps work.

      They are not people, they are a sociopathic machine, operated by people who very much tend to be sociopaths.

      It’s a common tactic of fascists. If you point blank refuse to accept reality and just keep repeating the same lie over and over maybe people will believe it. Of course it doesn’t really work. The people that were going to believe you already believe you, and the people who don’t believe you, will never believe you. Sadly despite the fact that it doesn’t work, they keep doing it.

        But it does work.

        If they keep you busy arguing about what’s real they never have to discuss actions or resolutions.

      I could not have worded it any more succinctly. This is what capitalism + the internet has done to us.

      That is true, these are perspectives. Nobody knows the truth, only a projection if it upon their world.

      It’s just that by that they are claiming that it’s their perspective which decides what will happen.

      In other words, they are saying “so whatcha gonna do”.
