- fallingfrog 8y agoI mean the very first corporations weren't even little kingdoms, they were big ones like the east India trading company, which operated as quasi sovereign states. And they still operate that way, just on a smaller scale. If you think we are currently living in an age of democracy right now you're crazy or just not paying attention.

- fallingfrog 8y agoThe assumptions of monarchy-ish corporatism have gone deep enough at this point that we are starting to see ourselves as monarchies of one, rather than equals in some kind of community. That's where you get these sovereign citizen people and also the point of view that every employee is a contractor.
