Corporation

Corporate oligopolies sell us our food.

Corporates oligopolies own our media.

A traditional corporate entity is a collective of people joined together by articles of incorporation in pursuit of profit. Although it may be comprised of individual parts such as directors, officers, and shareholders, a corporation is a legal entity in and of itself this was determined by Santa Clara County vs Southern Pacific Railway in the U.S. Supreme court. This case was a dispute over a railway route, whether U.S. Supreme Court set precedent that a private corporation was a “natural person” under the U.S. Constitution and therefore entitled to protection under the Bill of Rights.

Behaviour

Corporate entities have a fiduciary duty to pursue profit for the financial gain of shareholders. This paramount, binding principle has been anthropomorphised as giving corporate entities the psychopathic characteristics. However, corporates are not humans they are inert machines.

Research has found people with narcissistic traits tend to get promoted 39% faster in their progression to CEO and that there are at least three times as many psychopaths in executive or CEO roles than in the overall population . The importance of this fact is emphasised by the knowledge that psychopaths, at around 1% of the adult population, are reported to be responsible for about 50 % of all serious crimes and constitute 20% of (North American) prison populations.
