I found this morsel particularly poignant:
Who are the morally bankrupt execs who wrote this? I want names.
And I used to think the "secret dastardly plan diary" -files scattered around in Resident Evil and the like were silly B-movie stuff that obviously would not be written down in the real world.
But no, they're assigned in company strategy meetings and politicians just hit their sex slave supplier on Gmail with "Heya yo haave sum tasty kiids to fuck in Cali thiss wekend?"
"if such a dynamic political environment fails to come, the corporation will spur on dynamism by sponsoring alternative dynamic groups from within the country whenever possible" Shock Doctrine at its best
The fact that this is being said so openly.
oh it illustrates the principles of Shock Doctrine as explained by Naomi Klein in her book as have been used over and over by extreme capitalist to impose the wonders of their ~~ideologic~~ scientific capitalism. But I just made up the whole sentence above
Wow, they said the quiet part out loud
Whoever had that idea probably got a promotion and raise.
