Corporations are people… except when it comes to accountability.

How do we know corporations aren't real people?

Because the cops have never shot one.

They do smash up and burn down a hell of a lot of black-owned businesses though.

Heh. "A lot" you say. Please, allow me to introduce you to the 1921 Tulsa Massacre.

ACAB.

Oh Winona, to understand that silly, you will need an MBA, be certified in Six Sigma, and be at least lawful evil.

Check, check, and check.

Still draw the line at access to basic resources.

I know who she is, my checkmarks were meant to say that I have an MBA, Six Sigma certification, and as a C-level executive of a manufacturing company, I probably posses what people will call "lawful evil" or "corporate greed", since revenue maximization comes with the job title. There's still a line I don't want to cross.

If you look upstream of the reservations in Canada, more often than not you'll find a chemical plant. Just saying

I remember learning about this in environmental science class in a Canadian university, that even though Canada has more drinkable water per capita than pretty much any country in the world, huge swaths of the Indigenous populations here are under boil water orders because their water supply is unsafe to drink directly (and there are obviously many doubts whether simply boiling it helps to any meaningful extent). This is what colonialism and systematic discrimination looks like and needless to say this stuck with the entire class, as was the realization that even though we all find it disgusting, none of us can meaningfully do anything about it in the current political climate (which is a pretty frequent realization in environmental science tbh).

It's almost as if it was designed that way...

Because capitalism

I mean if you want to get technical, it would be ownership, law, and the courts.

All created, enforced, and chaired by colonizers. Hunh. That's weird.
