Nah, I'm all good. You're one of the new school of brainwormed weirdos...the Stephen Crowder "debate me" types who want to have bad faith discussions about everything to prove that they're the alpha or something.

If you want to get enlightened, go read a book or even a magazine instead of another million social media posts or watching umpteen hours of brain dead YouTubers.

You feel you know it all but are unable to prove where I’m incorrect with facts and not your opinion in doing so haven’t proven anything.

WTF are you even trying to prove? That America is somehow not capitalist because corporations exist?

I mean take a good look in the mirror dude, your clown makeup is starting to streak from all the sobbing.

No, American is capitalistic and within that system exists things like corporations. Corporations don’t always benefit a capitalist society for instance if a corporation tries to buy output isn’t competition, make it harder for competitors, and manipulate prices to undercut competitors.

Edit: also corporations being able to lobby against the American voters such how Disney threatened to do in Florida.

Lol, is this really your example? Dinsney's little spat with Ron DeMeatball? No mention Monsanto, or American Dairy, or Facebook, or Exxon, or any number of other companies *successfully * lobbying the government against regulation?

I'm not a doctor, but just based on your stance toward Musk and this example I'd diagnose you with neoliberal brain rot. You should get that looked at.

First my point was to prove Elon had a point that most, not all, corporations are bad and out to get him. We ended up on different economic systems and their associations to government and business. Finally you proved my point that some corporations are bad, so in my opinion these companies that have it out for Elon, Rumble, and other free speech platforms should be looked at for the real reason for them pulling ads in a colluding manner.

A subject which you appear to know absolutely nothing about but are insisting upon making the main topic of discussion despite it having precisely nothing to do with anything. In even socialist wannabe countries the state runs the businesses. Everything you're whining about outside of the Elon talking points is the exact opposite way around (i.e. business is running the state). You know what that is much closer to? Fascism friendo.

Elon isn't a government entity. He runs Xitter, a disgraced (by him) formerly relevant social media platform. The economic system and its governmental associations have fuck all to do with which company places ads on another company's website. You're just so horned up for a nice red scare debate that you've hurt yourself in your confusion like a fucking Pokemon.
