"Corporations rely on the illusion of corporate personhood, using expensively crafted 'brand identities' to present themselves to us as having personalities aimed at making us feel an emotional connection--and like we're all in this together. But firms have no intrinsic virtues. They are not our friends. If a corporation is a 'person,' it's an immortal colony organism that treats human beings as inconvenient gut flora. It doesn't have a personality and it doesn't have ethics. Its sole imperative is to do whatever it can get away with to extract maximum economic value from humans and the planet."
