I would have thought that people who hate the idea of corporate personhood would also hate the idea of any other kind of non-person personhood.
- dudeinjapan 1y agoPart of having personhood is that one’s ideas don’t have to have any logical or consistent basis.
- whatevertrevor 1y agoI don't think the general hatred of corporate personhood stems from the logical or taxonomic absurdity of it. Rather, I sense it comes from the perceived effects of it, that in their eyes allow corporations to get away without paying their "fair share". I think it's an instrument of convenience that has predictably resulted in a lot of legal tech-debt, which is largely inevitable because of how slow we are at adapting laws to our lived realities.
