If corporations are people, are shareholders slaveowners?

They're only people when it's convenient for the voting/election rights of the rich people who own them.....so actually a lot like slaves.

Wait, anybody rich enough to take this to the Supreme Court for shits and giggles?

What about corporations that own other companies? Or merges/acquisitions (cannibalism)? Maybe we should take the whole corporations are people to the natural conclusion. It would at least make it interesting for a while.

Is not the first world built upon the slavery of the third world? Both historically and in our time?

🤫 If we don't talk about it, we won't start to question other parts of our lives that feel icky.
