Every major processed plant based brand in the usa is no doubt owned by corpse lords, but they don’t own food itself… although monsanto has been trying to do just that for decades.

That is what google et al want though, they want zombies, they do not want free thinkers. None of this is by accident, and the userbase/population is so large now that they are unlikely to fail in creating dystopia. The very wrong people are in charge.

Proton have marketed themselves exceptionally well, comments suggesting they are not what they seem have always been met with a lot of downvotes. They marketed themselves into a brand receiving the same blind adoration as a sporting tam.

We do, but we are not always aware of whether/how we are being deliberately manipulated in any thread.

I never understood why someone would use a 3rd party for “password management”
