What's weird about that other than the mistake of thinking "the EU itself" is a thing in this context? States are allowed to have armies, corporations are not.

What's weird about that other than the mistake of thinking "the EU itself" is a thing in this context? States are allowed to have armies, corporations are not. States can send people with guns after you and lock you away, corporations can not. Do you think that's weird too? States hold more power than corporations because corporations exist only because states allow them to. Now whether states are a good thing or not is another question of course.
