You don't have free speech. You lost your right toe in a gun. You can't say what you want you can't even eat at a restaurant. You get banned from everything if you protest against the regime.. you're basically a slave.. and poor people in China are forced to work so miserably that they literally contemplate suicide.. but it's okay because you can choose which brand of 4K television you want and you have 30 different flavors of ice cream!!
It's totally not meant to pacify you while they screw you over!!
Corporations in collaboration with the World Economic Forum and the International Monetary Fund and World Bank Group are also creating ESG score systems to coerce all other major corporations to adopt radical leftist values so now even the corporations aren't really doing "what they want" anymore. Yo dawg, I heard you liked corporations regulating what you do, so I created a corporation to regulate what your corporation can regulate you to do.
