What about academics/ideologues/politicians/activists/bureaucrats etc, are they just puppets of the evil corporation?

Who owns the corporations, is it only the billionaires?

OK - but don't add academics. Authoritarians use revolutions to go after the academics, who are not part of the other catagories you mention.

Authoritarians go after some academics. Even Pol Pot had his selected favorites.

Many of the non-STEM academics come up with many of the ideas implemented by the authoritarians.

No, they don't. Why would you believe such nonsense?

Of course they do!

Why?

[–]Druullus 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Why faculty etc through their teaching/writing/activism etc and their students influence public policy?

Shareholders own corporations. Boards run them. Corporations donate to or own academics, creating bias.

No academics are independent of corporations?
