That's not really true. The '90s began with the fall of the USSR and the launch of the world wide web. 'Western' economic policies were an extension of those adopted in the late '70s & '80s, but a lot of the conditions of the '90s were still different.

You sure about that? Five more new wars to Bush's two, repealing habeas corpus, going after whistleblowers with the Espionage Act, Romney's fascist mandatory-private-health-insurance bill, etc. Bush used 9/11 to greatly accelerate the construction of a repressive national security apparatus, but it was Obama who normalized it under a cloud of respectability after Bush.

>five more new wars

Didn't happen. The US didn't invade any more countries on that scale during Obama. If you're just counting any time the US underhandedly backed some dissidents somewhere as the US entering a country in war, the number would probably be higher than "five" during both Bush & Obama's respective presidencies. The only full-on wars the US military had going on during Obama were in Iraq and Afghanistan.

>repealing habeas corpus,

The attacks on habeas corpus were Bush era. If you recall, the indefinite-detention-without-due-process thing was something Obama campaigned against in 2008 - he was straight up talking about closing Gitmo. Fwiw he didn't do this, it was bullshit, though he issued an executive order declaring that the Gitmo prisoners "have the constitutional privilege of the writ of habeas corpus," though how effective that was is extremely questionable. He also didn't "repeal habeas corpus." Habeas corpus was merc'd during the war on terror, although it's never technically been repealed, all the legwork was done circa Bush.

>going after whistleblowers with the Espionage Act

Over videos of mass murder filmed in 2007. Fwiw, Bush went after anti-war protestors with Patriot Act surveillance powers and also used the Espionage Act against journalists. Anything you can say about Obama on this front was Bush-lite.

It was, in fact, Obama who finally formally revoked the right to habeas corpus. The provision was included in the 2012 National Defense Authorization Act that he signed, which stays that the US state is allowed to declare someone a terrorist or enemy belligerent and then detain them indefinitely without trial. Chris Hedges and others sued the Obama administration over it, and in the process were able to infer that the bill itself was just a justification for activity the government was already engaged in.

Actually, it was the Military Commissions Act of 2006, and they were already putting this into practice by the time Obama ran in 2008 - it was a campaign issue by that time. The 2012 NDAA, which is also very bad!, fwiw is citing the 2001 Authorization for Use of Military Force, which was pre-Obama and was cited by the Bush admin (in defense of the flagrant denials of due process which they, again, were already doing in 2006) when this stuff came up in court. It's literally a reassertion of tricks Bush had already pulled.

Also claiming that companies legitimately care about climate change is like claiming they also legitimately care about queer people.
They don't. Its a PR stunt to humanize the company and make it seem like it's doing 'the right thing'. It's marketing. Any support towards sustainability initiatives is first and foremost a capitalist endeavor. Most of them are bullshit.
https://yewtu.be/watch?v=AW3gaelBypY
Any sustainability initiative would hurt profits. No company is going to go further than they necessarily have to for PR or regulations. The only companies that profit off of climate change are the ones building the technology for sustainability, those companies can be rightfully met with skepticism as they will make any attempt to make themselves look as good as possible despite actual performance.
If anything, it would be more profitable for a company to shill for deregulation as that would increase their profits.

I've never met a western socialist who didn't desire to bask in luxury and idleness, and took opportunities to do so when presented. Is this why they so vehemently and loudly screech about 'booj' all the time? Is it just a projection of their own inner shadow self, one which is quite ugly and potentially exploitative of others? Same thing with crying about landlords contributing nothing to society. Is that just an expression of repressed feelings of inferiority for having a menial job as a line cook or cashier, for example?

Line cooks and cashiers actually work. Landlords just own stuff and collect from other people's paychecks for it. You don't even have to go in to do that - landlords are parasites on the backs of the people who parasitize the line cook's labor.

If you have a restaurant and the business owner is renting the building, you have a circumstance in which the people who cook the food are giving a cut of the profits they generate to the people who own the establishment (who, to be clear, will often operate by proxy via managers so they (the owners) don't actually have to show up on site), who are also giving a cut to people who own the building (who have even less incentive to show up very often and basically have nothing to do with any of the labor performed)… what about the cook and the landlord is even slightly equivalent? The landlord isn't even a part of the company, they're a burden on everyone even the capitalist owner, and the job of protecting the establishment is handled by the government, so the landlord's responsibilities here are basically zilch.

Btw, western capitalism encourages idleness. We shipped most of our industry overseas in the '90s, and wages have long been stagnating as well. Unemployment in what unrewarding basic jobs remain is kept artificially high, and laborers must compete with foreign workers in and from poorer countries - usually ones with fewer resources, although in the case of China that's not even entirely true & their welfare state is actually considerably better than ours (which was murdered in the 1990s). You can search high & low for a job in America, and depending on when and where you are in the country and time, you might just not find anything at all.
