(20,958 posts)all these instances of insecurity that people endure are examples of gifts to business to create shortcuts to thicker bottom lines each and every quarter.
we've created a new "right" to corporate profit, and taken away all the other rights that human used to enjoy that included the pursuit of health and happiness.
when we speak of revolution we have to recognize that the most radical revolution has already happened, in which individual human rights have been transferred to corporations, and we're now chattel.
insecurity is indeed a key lever to corporate power. people who live in a constant state of insecurity INTERNALIZE mechanisms of control, so that the state or corporate powers (same diff) don't have to expend the resources on EXTERNAL control. we do it ourselves. so efficient.
