Governments have been killing people since their beginning and probably as we speak.

- pedro_hab 6y agoSure, i wouldn’t disagree I do think that’s happening now. governments do that and much worse. Right now there are people in concentration camps. I get that corporations can be bad, but they don’t have the monopoly on violence. To conflate corporation’s violence with governments is a stretch. It’s funny that people point at corporations being bad, while at the same time defending the worse offender. I think people can be bad, and having a power form corporations make it worse, but the power government gives to terrible people is much worse. * edited would with wouldn’t
