Dude, you can't just penalize a corporation. That would be commiesocialism or something.

According to the government, "Corporations are people too."

I'll believe a corporation is a person when The Texas department of corrections executes one.

I'll believe a corporation is a person when one is successfully murdered. I don't care who does it.

Herds/corporations dissipate: only individuals can truly-die.

Groups have been hiding that pertinent-fact from discussion for ages, now..

It's time that we created legally-distinct categories for those who are only aggregates, like herds/corporations, vs individuals-who-can-die.

That'd take spine, though, which politics-the-arena weeds-out/prevents-from-having-any-say.

And just like real people. They’re dead when they have no more money.

And yet, they can sell their debt

That’s only because the liberals government took away Americans’ right to buy and sell people. Gotta bundle debt and people together for good business.

Back then, both in the US and the UK, the liberal philosophers of the times considered it an infringement on property rights to restrict the buying and selling of slaves. Liberalism: A Counter-History goes over the debates at the time.

Republicans love to point to those days to claim they're not racist today

You wouldn't molotovcocktail a car (just because it's putting everyone's safety at risk simply by existing)

[–] crank0271@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago

Surely there is a leftist or unhoused person that could be scapegoated and punished for this.

I believe the federal gubment just declared being anti capitalism is considered an act of terror or something.

[–] DeathByBigSad@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 months ago

If FDR was still alive, they'd execute him for "terrorism"

But exactly! You guys wanted hypercapitalism, now you complain?
