19. Correct

meaning that for time immemorial, this has been an issue that has never been tied solely to "moneyed corporations". It's tied to humanity itself and the evolution of societies. It is human nature. And to single out a time period or some nebulous "corporation", misses that there is something in human nature that has and continues to establish hierarchical societies (whether based on wealth, familial lines, religion, physical prowess, or age, e.g., "Council of Elders", etc).

My issue with DU of late has been the superficial presentations used to argue against what "we" (humans) are, which has sadly been a human societal "norm" since humans have peopled the earth - all as a means to proffer an ideology that would purportedly "fix everything" once and for all. This doesn't mean that I embrace "corporatization". Far from it. But I do believe that given what is essentially a "constant" (hierarchy) that has been around for tens of thousands of years, one can try to work around it and/or build a protective firewall to mitigate its detriments, in order to strive for a better life.
