7. I don't think blame is the important issue anyway
What is important is that the nature, structure and responsibility regarding the increasingly Fascist, (yes, I used the F-word) activities of megalithic power structures that currently function solely for their own interests and now, more obviously, to the detriment of growing numbers of non-corporate entities, namely us as a collective of living beings.

If this is obvious, and we can agree that the nature of the beast is to continue to concentrate, merge, grow and bring vast amounts of power and influence gained from draining the "customers" of corporately provided goods and services to bear against those who provide the money from using said, then we have a very real and immediate, clear and present danger in our midst.

What are our tools, rights, or powers to address this trend? That is, especially when we see a rather shocking collusion between big business and government, (see first sentence)?

Raising awareness of a crises like this, rather than placing blame, is critical and essential for our own well-being and in regards to the future society resulting from a military/industrial, corporately-ruled monoculture. I don't think one needs to be prophetic about it when it is not difficult to extrapolate what this can mean for future generations of the planet's inhabitants if passivity and ignorance allow propaganda and inverse totalitarianism to continue to dominate life as we know it.
