    Said another way: the French discover that late-stage capitalism and cronyism knows no border.

    How quaint…

    This is hardly new by the way: IBM famously provided the Nazis with the means to run the holocaust efficiently, and the Americans should have been outraged too back then, but - in retrospect, unsurprisingly - weren’t.

      There’s something inherently fascist about the capitalist construct of a corporation that has to concern itself only with profit and line going up, and therefore has a license to disregard people’s humanity, using them up and crushing them as needed to achieve growth. For capitalists, fascism is just an opportunity to keep doing what they do but with the gloves off.
