This is the rule of the Western Empire - if you took on board the well-disguised propaganda that you live in a democracy, and you are 'equal' to those with power/a corporation, you are now being stripped of your foolish illusion.
Of course this foolish ' illusion, so carefully nurtured over generations of White rule, is at the heart of the western shamocracies which continue to wreck whole societies as they have been doing for the past 5 centuries.
The difference is now, they are treating their own citizens with a similar disdain and so the liberal chattering classes will soon be chattering from cold , unable to pay for heating bills as the gentle facade of liberalism reveals itself is the same old wolf in sheep's clothing, (but now threatening the existence of the entire planet).
