Is this some kind of joke? Do you Americans really think this is okay? Bribing presidents and influencing future elections with multi millions of dollars?

What does this all still have to do with Making the World a Better Place and all that other dumb shit Stanford and Google and all these other Silicon Valley institutions blurted out for decades?

The answer is yes. Americans are fine with this.

  • I'm not fine with it but when you have a bunch of people who listen to their Instagram feed what are you gonna do?

  • Governance and partipation in democracy requires informed consent and those that govern do NOT in good faith check in with those they govern.
