Cruelty yes. Co-equating technology markets with corporate/government 'corruption' is a half-truth. These things don't build themselves... 10s of million of pleasant farmers didn't design supercomputers or the internet! You needed 'intellectual' heavy weights and savvy engineers to make all this work! And the return gave the barely literate the ability to have and use computers! Computers have taken the place of the mail box, telephone, TV and library for me. It's easier to own than a car.
(6:40) "...a home marketing service, to turn people into passive consumers, you know, U and the tube, that's the social unit on which society is constructed, so you don't have to worry about interacting, thinking people doing really bad things, like those folks in the slums of Port-au-Prince a couple of years ago. But people will be passive and obedient and hooked down, consuming for themselves, not caring about anyone else..."
"free" market (harharhar, what a hypocracy!) ... has never existed ouside "chicago-school" or "washington-'consensus' " or "(neo)liberal" or -i prefer the term:- capital-fasc-istic propaganda
