I agree with everything else, of course, but I don't see this. The far-right is funded by wealthy and tacky people who love power and have the money to turn unhappy people into voters. Get someone beholden to you elected. Have them dole out prestigious jobs according to your wishes. Run the social events. Etc. Etc.

It's always going on. It's easier now because of the wealth gap and lack of opportunity.

A corporate executive can't predict who will be in power from one year to another. So they generally give evenly. If they try to fund a far-right party they understand it can backfire on them. In a sense, Spotify is dealing with the fall-out of stepping over the line from unbiased distribution to political favoritism.

Oil, gas, real estate, all the things you mention, they will be sold and bought no matter what the sea level does. Even if they eliminated all discussion of climate change it wouldn't change those needs, competition within those industries, only where and how they're done.

Indeed, I see things almost the opposite. The problem isn't that corporations are pushing their weight around; the problem is they aren't!

None of the corporate interests, for example, wanted Hitler. Most big business saw where it was heading. But they wouldn't get involved and the rest is history.

What you're dealing with is the inarticulate rage of the person who can't get a job at a corporation. Corporations don't care any more about that than climate change. Who else has the power to fix? Certainly not who gets elected from today's corrupt political parties.

The trend continues towards increased violence, both intellectually and physically.
