Setting the Stage for Violence with Corporate Politics

The US political system was setup so political factions would burn up all their energy and resources in elections and lawsuits instead of murder and mayhem. That system worked in the days of actual capitalism, but might not work so well in corporate world. Now that corporations are injecting the personal politics of their boards of directors and executives into their business activity, they've become a real threat to peace in the country.

Almost unbelievably the "mark of the beast" conspiracy theories of AM radio conspiracy talk show days have come true. Anti-establishment figures and organizations are being regularly deplatformed. It's possible the Federales will step in and the dusty anti-trust department will actually do something to break up the monopolies but that might be a long shot. The congress is close to completely corporate owned.

I think the most likely outcome is people will abandon the mainstream corporate system and just do something else over the next decade or so, but another fairly likely outcome is violence.
