Why are so many people ok with a world where you have no say in what your employer does, and they can do whatever they want to suit their bottom line?

Though I wonder how much of this is actually corpophilia and how much is people hiding behind it because they don’t want to say “I’m glad these people I disagree with got fired”.

Here are some threads to show what I’m talking about:

r/technology

r/conservative (though this one feels like cheating)

r/news

r/bayarea

r/google

hacker news

washington post comments

etc…

    I’d argue corporations should strive to represent their employees.

    That’s not a corporation that’s a co-op. I think cooperatives are great. Corporations less so.

    Corporations don’t deserve to maintain anything, they aren’t people and have no ethical status either.

    Ethical status isn’t what I’m talking about here: I’m talking about legal protections for entities. A corporation is an entity and has legal protections.

    Again we can discuss if capitalism should be the system we use but as long as it is then corporations will, by definition, have legal status and protections.

    Nonetheless you’re working double time to make sure the use of ‘reasonable’ with all its connotations is seen as acceptable here. Making sure everyone knows that you think this is normative.

    It’s absolutely mundane and normal. It’s unnatural but not strange.

    I’d rather the system didn’t work like this: but it is entirely expected given the laws that govern the nation in which this occurred.

    And that’s by definition normative.

    We will not reach a common ground.

    You went from talking about concepts to directly attacking me. I wouldn’t expect you’d ever come to a truce with someone you see as an enemy. I’m sorry you feel that way.
