American is a corporatracy.

The corporations run the show here. This is what capitalism (or crony) morphed into. The corporations have the money to grease the wheels of the system as they like.

So now they are so big (monopolistic in many way) that they can do what they want. Here is an example of it in action. Alex Jones is a lot of things but he does have the right to express what he does AND to profit off it from advertisers. Sure companies have the right to choose who they advertise with also. Yet this situation looks like they are being cooerved.

Each time I read something like this, I just say to myself, decentralization is needed.

We need to break the stranglehold these entities have.
