It's not the corporations that will destroy us, it's repressive goverments.

Maybe...assuming that government is not the wholly-owned subsidiary of the business. Honestly, that's an assumption I no longer make.

Governments are corporations... they sell us (through taxation) services that don't work, are not warranteed, and like Banks, are self regulating. If you have concerns, you are directed to a complaint line, put on hold and told that there is nothing you can do.... time for changes...... but don't you change!

This sounds like a job for Marmite! (If you've seen my gallery.) Or perhaps peanut butter? (Which is what I'm more familiar with.) Besides, it just takes one little tiny act of non-violent subversion every day to fight the machine. But be aware, if you're going to support any kind of change or new movement, make sure it's one with a mostly laissez faire approach towards the people. Supporting various doctrines or dogmas without due regard towards everyone's liberties will just end up creating another corrupt machine under another label. History has proven that any kind of "-ism", "-archy", or "-cracy" can suck under the leverage of power, regardless of original intent. The way I see things, what's most out of whack is that real-world tragedies of the commons are allowed to occur freely while false scarcities are created and imposed under rule of law to the detriment of all. The balance of where the freedoms and restrictions are is going wrong. So apparently it's ok to wipe out all the fish, deforest or denude the land, or polute the water and air. (And while one country can prevent such damage within its borders, it's useless if the approach doesn't do anything to leverage the same environmental protections worldwide. The result is that environmental damage and pollution is outsourced rather than actually stopped.) But it's not ok to freely exchange knowledge and culture that could be pervasive at no real cost. (Is digital media really worthy of protection longer than a human lifetime, let alone a decade? I may be wierd, but I say one should have a maximum of 10 years to profit exclusively on an novel idea - make the best of it, and then it's time to move on.) Likewise apparently it's also ok to take free natural goods and contaminate them with altered ones or place restrictions on them in order to create false scarcities. (Think of Montesano's leveraging upon food crops or various genomics/pharma patents on naturally occuring DNA or the war on drugs.) This type of dystopic manipulation and commodotizing of everything with lack of regard and good stewardship will not be sustainable in the long run.
