    It’s only unpopular because every time someone dies that’s even tangentially associated with some corporate fuckery the internet instantly calls it an assassination. It’s absolutely stupid, but the hive mind seems to be geared to desperately want everything to be a conspiracy. No better than the conservatives making vaccines a conspiracy.

      If only we had the refrence of past experiences to better predict how corporations act in the future.

      Chiquita banana hired paramilitary death squads to secure their bananas and they were never punished.

      Hell, just a few years ago the US couped Bolivia so Elon could have cheap lithium.

      The bigger conspiracy nut theory is ignoring observable reality to make corpos the good guys.

        Don’t put words in my mouth.

        In no way shape or form do I view corporations as “good guys”. They are greedy, destructive on multiple levels, self-serving, cold, and often straight up evil.

        Nobody here has observed shit except a someone died associated with a court case against a corporation. Everything here calling it a conspiracy is conjecture and made up opinion.

        The hiring of paramilitary death squads and what banana republics are is a completely different and tragic issue that extends far beyond what a single “hit” on an individual is.

            You picked a side

            Yeah. They picked truth and honesty over sensationalism.

            Spreading lies about corporations doesn’t help. They’re bad enough anyways; we don’t need to make up stories about them to paint them in a bad light, they’re perfectly capable of painting themselves.

              The braindead people out there who fight against you understand that playing devils advocate means you are advocating for the devil.

              It’s sad that the college educated are incapable of understanding this.

      Equating whistleblowers being killed to vaccine conspiracies shows how well people have been brainwashed into state obedience. Any narrative goes.

        Evaluating everything as a conspiracy shows how well people have become incapable of critical thinking and applying cold logic and skepticism to both sides of the equation. Any narrative goes.

            He was not killed.

            He did kill himself.

            My suspicion is there were deliberate steps to take him off suicide watch and allow him the unsupervised time and means with which to kill himself. He knew he was fucked and his life was over forever coupled with scores of people wanting him dead, along with being raked over the coals to roll over on rich and powerful people. But apparently that’s not enough for people, they have to manufacture a murder.

            But no, he was not murdered.
