Diary of a Liberal - All Corporations are evil except Starbucks and Apple




Corporations are all wicked and irresponsible.

You know, even the notion of private property is immoral and despicable.

Its clear that we need an authoritarian goverment which will reign in these ruthless plutocrats.

We should nationalize all private business and redistribute their ill begotten wealth to the destitute.

I mean it's not like these companies became successfull by providing goods and services efficiantly to their fellow citizens for a reasonable price.

Everybody knows that real wealth is created through intrusive taxes and goverment welfare programs.

Well, I guess I can't say that all corporations are evil.

Also, I wouldn't want the goverment infringing on my private property.

It's only OK for the goverment to steal property from the wealthy.

This is fair because they "stole" it from the poor. Nobody ever becomes successfull through hard work or innovation.

Apple and Starbucks however are just fantastic!

I love their $6 Cappucinos and those little danishes by the counter.

Apple is truely a fine example of contemporary corporate egalitarianism.

I mean it's almost like they give away overpriced computers and gadgets for free., direct from the factory in Indonesia.

And when Steve Jobs is involved in an insider trading deal for millions of dollars by defrauding investors we can just ignore it.

It's only wrong when companies like Enron are involved in corruption.

They sell energy to power our Macs which is just downright evil, think of Global Warming.

BREAK...

BACK TO REALITY

The Apple Starbucks phenomenon is another syphtom of liberal hypocricy.

I like to point out the left winger selling a Che Guevera T-shirt which is in of itself a process of Capitalism.

Or Rage Against the Mansion, a band whose very success condradicts the notion of class disenfranchisement and non-existent social mobility.

To the liberal I say if you hate private property than why don't you give me yours.

And if you hate corporations so much than stop participating in Capitalism.
