    I imagine the analogy is more nuanced than that. It is more like politicians promising their constituents a mutually respectful relation based on consent, then drugging them so that they can rape their constituents without them noticing while the billionaires watch and jerk off to that.

    It goes without saying that this is just an analogy and the psychological effects of what is being done here is no where near a rape but we are all adults here and can infer that I think.

      I strongly disagree with that. It’s extremely harmful in a myriad of ways to everyone and any ecology anywhere nearby. Even if the individual detriments to ones life are not equal to a rape (which I am again I doubt of, not that I think rape is harmless but because this shit is so fucking heinous), the cumulative effects on the millions of people is indeed worse than rape.
