Trump may be fascist but the is still democratically elected leader with Senate backing him. It's not the Corporate leaders to decide to against democratically elected leaders even if they are bad. They have can only slow walk the decline.

You would not want that either.

This is patently silly. The US does not have a democratically elected dictatorship.

People and companies are free to do whatever the fuck they want that’s not illegal. They can resist any government priorities for any reason, including finding them destructive or anti-democratic or corrupt.

The government is able to change the laws within the current system to back its will—regardless of whether it’s in the interest of the people who voted for them, let alone the entire population.

(No the em dash isn’t AI.)

It's a blatantly inflammatory comment from a 42 day old account with a gibberish username.

It's a troll. Just flag it and move on.

It's not a requirement to donate to democratically-elected leaders though.

> It's not the Corporate leaders to decide to against democratically elected leaders even if they are bad.

Refusing to join forces and contribute your efforts towards actively support fascism is not "deciding against democratically elected leaders". This sort of rhetorical sophism is unhelpful and, indeed, damaging.

It is ABSOLUTELY everyone's place, ("corporate leaders" included) to have principles and stick to them.

Personally, I agree with the principles of not using fallible AI for mass domestic surveillance analysis purposes, or for fully autonomous weapon purposes.
