But i find the elaborate defence of the modern brand intriguing.

Thats not really the subject of the OP, just for clarity. The fascist-media-fed rush of belonging to the internet [neoliberal] libertarian tribe is sufficient payoff for many it seems.

I've run into this time and time again, back when I used to post on some of the popular forums out there, and it's actually a real problem.
They aren't just the "L word" people, they are Democratic Party whores, Repub whores, Monsanto whores, Big Pharma whores, they're all out there en masse.
Not being a yank i can't know, so could you name me some 'Big Corporations' that are 'Democratic Party whores' with paid-poster campaigns.
I'm not disputing that paid-posting happens, just whether the Left is as into it as the Right - i don't think the Left (terms used for convenience rather than accuracy) has the resources.
