The reichwing paradox I can never resolve.
Reichwingers bleat and screech about "freedumb" and the evil gubmint's infringements thereon as totalitarian threats.
Yet this same flatulent and greasy crowd of orcs, who come boiling out of their caves, honking, spitting, farting and belching when actions are taken for the common good, get on their knees and beg, even demand, to be enslaved by private/corporate masters.
I can't understand - and don't want to understand, frankly - what kind of twisted and paranoid psychology is at work in the tiny reptilian minds of these people.

The first--obvious--point is liberals seem to admit being slaves to the government is their preferred state of affairs judging from the contempt they heap upon the concept of "freedumb."
The real point is they seem to think corporations enslave people. These are the same corporations they curse for making a profit in the US but then curse for shipping jobs (slave chains?) overseas.
Rare is the corporation that has been the target of one of their impotent, asinine boycots. Yet, in that they fail to realize why corporations CANNOT enslave you: there's always a competitor who will appeal for your business. Socialist governments never have competitors.
In fact, the only time corporation CAN enslave people is when they use their influence to have laws enacted in their favor...
...which is exactly the situation we are suffering from today.
Big corporations like regulations because it chokes out smaller competitors.
Big corporations like subsidized research grants for solar panels, light bulbs,etc.
Big corporations REALLY like when the government mandates you purchase their products.
But we're the stupid follwers.
