That's the Fact, Jack! @thatsthefactjack.bsky.social

That's how autocracy works, more accurately. No other U.S. president has ever triggered the quiet cancellation of their #1 network critic through corporate pressure and hush money. But in Russia 🇷🇺 & China 🇨🇳? That's routine. This isn't free-market capitalism - it's fear-driven loyalty enforcement.

Free market capitalism isn't a thing.

Exactly. This wasn't the "free market" - Colbert was #1 in ratings. Canceling him wasn't business, it was obedience. This is what Putin does, not a functioning democracy.

Corporations *famously* aren't democracies.
