I think, it's more the US love of capitalism that makes people think so. It just sounds on brand that someone who worships their company that much would be in the US.
As someone who has been to South Korea, US capitalism looks downright reasonable in comparison.
And some European airports are great examples of runaway capitalism. Good luck finding your gate when you're walking through what looks like a shopping mall on steroids. No, I don't want a Burberry Armani Hermes scarf, I want a damn sandwich.
Lol, your brain is so wired on "Capitalism Bad" and "'Murica Bad", it's the first thing you think of when anyone does anything wrong, even on the other side of the planet.
Get some air, bud. You've had enough propaganda for a lifetime.
Sir, this is Lemmy.
The guy acted on behalf of the company, that he works for, at a degree that no one asked him to, nor he'll be rewarded for. And companies get put in charge in capitalism.
That's all the thought chain it took for me to get to capitalism. Literally the point of my comment was that it's not about it being bad/evil/wrong.
I was more under the impression it was because in developed nations, cops don't go around killing civilians for frivolous reasons. But in the US, it happens regularly.
