If you want to continue doing Horrible Thing X, you must ensure you invest not only in Horrible Thing X but in the most visible opposition to Horrible Thing X. Ideally, that opposition should owe its continued existence to you and to Horrible Thing X.

So, for example, if you’re a surveillance capitalist like Google, you should ensure that Mozilla owes its existence to you and to surveillance capitalism by funding them with roughly half a billion dollars every year. Which, thankfully, Google being the smart and cunning people they are, they are already doing.
