unless you somehow think that corruption is morally neutral and only "bad" because there's laws against it?

- tripzilch 1y agoOkay, sure. And while I understand and share your frustrations with the outcome of recent US elections, democracy is a bad proxy for morality, or to put it bluntly: If 9 out of 10 people voted for gang rape, it's still wrong for a multi national corporation to take advantage of that.
- scarface_74 1y agoI’m very well aware of the tyranny of the majority. My still living parents grew up in the Jim Crow south. Everything they are doing now to demonize immigrants and LGBT they did in the 80s with “welfare queens” and “Willy Horton”. The difference is that I don’t expect any better.
