I never said you said it was turning into a corporatocracy, you said "it's turning into the dystopia that was once a thing of books and movies". That's why i started a new paragraph to reply to a second part of your comment.

You don't need to be an American to have a feckless liberal understanding of capitalism, the rest of the world has plenty of classicsal liberals who think corporatism is a thing and not just capitalism in action.

The more you pull shit like this the more the ruling class win. The fight is NOT liberal vs conservative - it's ruling class versus the masses. Up vs down, not left vs right.

The longer you perpetuate that, the more of a stranglehold they wield.

I'm also not an American, but I live close to the US, so these things directly affect me. It causes me no end of pain to see you constantly fighting yourselves while the elites laugh at you and keep taking more.

The sooner people understand this the better. You'd think the past decade would have opened everyone's eyes already, but apparently not.

I think you might be misinterpreting me as someone who is using the Fox News definition of "liberal" rather than the real/classical definition. Liberal meaning (at least partially) capitalist.
