I've always had the fantasy ofSoem American MNC just sending heating letters for me to stop doing something likep rotesting for the environment then finally one day sending a discrete undercover militia squad to rape my boyish ass before they kidnap me and sell me off as a sex slave for the shareholders to pass around

Private companies are less untouchable than the government.

Because corporations are people my guy, surely you knew this?

Not really. You can technically become a part ofthe government and influence it in many ways, but companies care only about the market and government regulations - which often don't get introdiced because of the lobbying

What companies are taking muh guns, muh free speech, muh freedom of assembly, etc.?

Anything a private entity does = freedom
Anything the government does = oppression

If corporations weren't considered people by the law, you wouldn't be able to sue them you moron

You can't fight city hall but many people have successfully fought corporations. If they are deceptive, pollute, etc. they usually end up getting fucked by lawsuits. Try suing the government, it's a lot harder to win.

It has happened a lot though.

You use the common law, so you indeed can sue the government in a way.

I don't. In fact this was one reason why TPP would have been a huge mistake--it would give multinational corporations the right to sue citizens of foreign countries for copyright infringement in their own special courts. That is creepily Orwellian.

Because private companies can implement changes much faster than the government and, in theory, need to compete in order to provide the best value for the population. You can now go ahead and point out that there is no competition in things like utilities or ISPs, but those monopolies are granted by local governments.

Why are Europeans so bumblasted about 'the companies infringing muh freedoms', but are OK with it when it's the government that does it?

No we aren't.
God bless EU laws.

Ah the good old "America is big, your argument is invalid". A rhetorical move worth of Aristotle.
