Thanks for the links. The really scary one is the Pakistan situation. Do the Taliban actually deliver any value anywhere? Corporations do supply goods or services, for example petrol for your car and drugs for illnesses, while doing some unethical things at the same time. What do the Taliban deliver -- and I mean on this earth, not heaven.
Read the stories: all of them scary, and what is most scary is the impunity with which corporations/groups do things and the way it seems widespread, almost integrated into the fabric of our society.
Dissent is always difficult, and paid for in various ways. The problem now is that dissent is becoming "unaffordable" except for the extremists.
