I found this morsel particularly poignant:

"Ironically, Meta expected rights groups to be too busy to step in, given the disastrous geopolitical climate.

“We will launch during a dynamic political environment where many civil society groups that we would expect to attack us would have their resources focused on other concerns,” the document reads, as quoted by the NYT."

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

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
