@Mimesatwork Applies to nations as well. Like you can say whatever, that we're a democracy and we care about this and that, while hollowing out the very institutions that make those things possible. I feel it has to be either one: A. They really are THAT manipulative and believe it's enough if it seems like you care. That no-one _really_ has any values, everything is just cynical theater. B. They have a nigh-mythical belief in their brand and don't think any action or inaction could tarnish it.
