How can even the worst democratic government be less legitimate than unaccountable control by a single person? This is a shocking statement tbh. If we don’t even have politics, there is nothing left.

Not that. Erasing differences. (Some) Tech-version: Democratic governments aren’t perfect, what’s the difference with a single-person company calling the shots? (Some) traditional media version: Facebook and China surveil, what’s the big difference?

It's still not "on par." Far be it from me to deny corruption or regulatory capture. A government with elections is still *a government* with elections. Yes, the unaccountable corporations have made it worse and worse, the answer isn't acquiescencing to more unaccountability.
