     When fascism comes, at least Gruber can post about how he used to shop at Hugo Boss before it was cool.

     @codefolio Oh he’s getting paid. Not directly. But he’s getting paid by perpetuating the corporatocracy. They take care of their own.

     @aral You know, if it truly was "lick boots for money" I'd find it a lot more understandable and reassuring.

     I don't think it's that. And I don't think he's getting paid.

     I think it's just a natural, knee-jerk alignment with authority.

     It would also be more reassuring if he weren't in such numerous company that way.

     @codefolio Updated the hash tag anyway so folks don’t get fixated on it :)
