Because Americans have been foolish and short sighted.
So then they're presented with a choice: continue making the mistake or take the difficult steps to attempt to correct it.
- likeclockwork 3y agoSounds nice to say "Americans" did this, to socialize accountability, like this was some democratic decision and not the product of corporations having no loyalty to anyone or anything.
- tivert 3y agoIt's definitely "Americans" that did this. It came from the hubris of seeing the Soviet Union fall and deceiving ourselves that we were living in some capitalist liberal democratic end of history and letting the political system make decisions to match. And frankly, attempting to not "socialize accountability" and instead pin the blame on some othered corporations would have the effect of fostering a helpless outlook in the face of those corporations. IMHO, the way forward is to realize the collective mistake and fuck those corporations good and hard as part of the correction (e.g. lets make an example of Apple).
