    there are people w/ money who adopt the tools+ link with resources who work in the state for malicious deeds, but u do a disservice to a privatized government wherein individuals can have their data respected in homogenizing free markets together with the state in that aspect.

        I'll just correct you: 'Individuals rule'. But, I'm open to hearing more on what u mean. smh I wrote it badly, but I was refferencing that fact tht you were the one who was homogenizing free markets in with the state, in your whole 'the two are linked' quote tweet.

        I’m all for individual sovereignty as I see it as necessary prerequisite for democracy and a healthy commons. What I’m not for is corporate rule (which is what right libertarians are asking for, whether they know it or not, with themselves as CEO-Kings of course.)

        An individual sovereignty and healthy commons? ye I agree libertarians are just loony and can't be trusted with any economy which has finite unit resources I'm wondering how individual sovereignty can be respected and a commons maintained, based on: people are selfishly inclined

        I see it less as feudalism and more as a mercantilist state of affairs. It strikes me that Google and Facebook are playing a role similar to that of Spain & Portugal as it concerns the Americas after the signing of the Treaty of Tordesillas. The economics are all about extraction
