I never implied there's an evil master plan behind it.
I implied that when greed prevails, any other consideration, freedom included, get bulldozed. And at that point you can safely assume they are enemy of freedom - they don't have to promote authoritarianism, it's enough for them to benefit from a system that strips us from our freedoms, and happily keep operating.
Nope, I said Facebook is an enemy of freedom. And that doesn't mean their primary goal is to strip it away, it means the way they operate goes against freedom and they don't mind it.
If tomorrow aliens will militarily invade in search for resources, and will entirely disregard any human pain and suffering along the way as they destroy everything and everyone, will they stop being enemies of humanity simply due to the fact they're not here for genocide per se?
