Sounds like bullshit. I've worked at Google, and I spoke up loudly while I was there. I've spoken up while at other employers, too. We can't simply let ourselves be muzzled by corporate accusations of thoughtcrime.

When we say the slogan, "it is hard to get somebody to realize something when their salary depends on it," we are talking about cognitive impediments to understanding. We aren't talking about the lying that corporate spokespeople carry out.

Which far-right state agrees with the idea of less state brutality? Could you name one? I'm only able to think of Russia, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, UAE, Kuwait, Singapore, Hong Kong, Bhutan, and Thailand, and they all have quite a bit of state-sponsored brutality, in their own different ways.
