That is funny, considering as how private companies are the same thing as the state.

  Last time I checked, a private company can’t stop me because “I look suspicious”. They can’t take away my property via civil forfeiture and imminent domain. They don’t take 1/3 of my check. With part of that being a forced retirement plan that I can’t opt out of etc. Only the government has “a monopoly on violence” and qualified immunity.

    "can't stop me" You mean imprison or kidnap. Large companies can stop you from using their ecosystems or entering their property for almost any reason they like.

      And you compare that to what the government can do? I could live my entire life without using any one of the large corporations.

        It would be easier for me to move to a different country than to stop using services or devices of the large corporations.
