    we seem to hear the far right and far left blame each other in various degrees on endless media outlets...but which extreme frightens you more?

    big government or huge corporations?

    Neither.

    Why does everything have to be a bloody binary choice?!? Life isn't binary!

    :mad:

    Dreaming up false dilemmas is a speciality of Irish politics.

    You could argue that there is little difference.

    I don't know, they are kind of one and the same most of the time. They're always intertwined.

    Big angry mobs scare me the most. You'll usually find them railing against Big Government or Big Corporations.

    They are increasingly the same thing. Government is the only check against corporations, so it's not looking good really.
    There isn't anything abhorrent about a large govenment, is there? More costly, more bureaucracy, nothing like what big business gets away with.

    All you have to do is look at China's or Cuba's list of human rights violations to figure out that far-left is exceedingly worse.

    It's always pretty scarey to me that just a small number of corporations control all the food in the world.
