   We have to stop criticizing and arguing with multinational corporations as if they were people. Corporations are merely a behavior that emerges from the ruleset of capitalism, totally beyond the control of any one of their employees. The only way to deal with those entities is through legislation and by starving them of money.

      One only ever argues with people.

      The whole idea of treating corporations as people is an error from either side of this.

      I think it makes sense to support and encourage some people in a corporation while opposing the work of other people in a corporation.

      The structure exists and *maybe* one can replace it with something better, but in the meantime, one could do much worse than looking for the good.

      The capitalists and legislators are in bed with corporations, so you can't expect them to starve or regulate them.

      Best, *we* can do is to stop relying on them and feeding the machine, first with our labour, and second through consumption. Only way to do that is to create and actually use alternative economic systems.
